    Stephen Lang is horribly underrated as an actor, he was not only great as Pickett in Gettysburg, but his role as Stonewall Jackson in Gods and Generals as well, and many other roles he's played over the years.

    Wow. This is gold. I was SHOCKED when the camera zoomed out and saw that the auditorium was only half full or so. It should have been standing room only! I really respect Berenger as an actor but he’s very knowledgeable on his history as well having listened to him on some other podcasts.

    Berenger and Lang gave incredible performances. So charismatic as Longstreet and Pickett.

    I think it’s awesome that these guys are able to put water under the bridge and come together every year and get along. “Enemies in times of war, brothers in times of peace.” Can’t imagine the horrors these brave men witnessed. God bless America. 🇺🇸
  • Tom Berenger is a phenomenal actor. Loved him in Platton as the Nemises to Sgt Barnes, Jack Staton in Shattered, but my favorite role for him was as Gen Longstreet is Gettysburg!!

    Both of these men were brilliant in their roles and brought much to the film. God bless them and those that worked so hard to bring this to the screen!

    I wish you could finish the trilogy. The Last Full Measure needs to be made

    My father dragged me to this when I didn't even know it was a movie. The audience was packed with reenactors who yelled every time they recognized themselves or friends onscreen. These actors changed my view on our history with their performances.

    Wonderful to see Tom Berringer back in Gettysburg, not to mention Lang, Maxwell, and the other boys of Gettysburg. Some blockbuster movies come out and we trick ourselves into thinking that they will stand the test of time. A movie like Gettysburg, however, will most assuredly be sought out and viewed fifty years from now, while the top movies of 2024 will most likely be relegated to obscurity.

    I was involved in the the making of Gods and Generals. Ron talks about rain days, well we spent 3 days doing very few scenes. We were doing Fredricksburg / Marries Heights. It rained a lot and we lost a whole days shoot. Myself and a couple of my mates were waiting beside a road to get back to camp, in the pouring rain, a big van pulls up and gives us a ride up to the main area for coordination. Well it was Mr Maxwell and others in the van and when we told them we came down from Canada they thanked us very sincerely. We also got to meet many of the actors. Great memories.

    Much respect to these gentlemen for returning to Gettysburg numerous times to talk with fans of the movie. Gettysburg is my favorite movie of all time. Thank you for such excellent portrayals of Longstreet and Pickett. Lang wasn't bad as Stonewall Jackson in God's and Generals either. Great movie.

    ANOTHER Home Run Adeleman and company... this was a perfect compliment to the three hours I spent at The Longstreet Society... Mr. Pritchard had many a great tale to tell about the movie and its effect on the historical memory of Longstreet... I left the best hand in "Brag" and a dram of whiskey on the Good Grneral's Grave.

    Can’t believe that they never replay this movie. Or at least not advertised or noted on TV. I have never seen this Movie. Seen Gods and Generals. But Gettysburg not yet. Will be hoping. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍
  • My favorite war movie. I have it on every format and saw it in the theater when it came out. lol
