In a future battle, Chamberlain suffered a hip/groin bullet wound that festered and gave him horrific pain the rest of his life and ruined his marriage. He suffered more than most because of that cursed war. What a hero
Too bad Shaara didn't write about THEM... In all seriousness, Chambrlain played a vital role in the defence of LRT. Having said that, it was NOT a gaurantee that the Confederates would sweep the Union army from the field if they took the flank. Sure, if the Union stood still, and did nothing, other than wait for the conferates to come at them, but, don't ya think the Union army would have regrouped at some point?
its too bad that The Last Full Measure looks like it will never get made (at least not anywhere within the next five or six yrs ..at least) ..at this point all the main characters ( Lee, Chamberlain , Hancock , Longstreet , Stuart ) will to have be re cast due being just to old .now ...actually Lee , Longstreet and Pickett were already re cast once already ....only Grant would be a fresh take ...the challenge being to cast the right forty something /early fifties actors ...Grant has always seemed a hard role to cast RIGHT for Hollywood..they never seem to quite get him right imo .....to me the original Gettysburg cast was perfect ...sadly things did not work out
Seriously they could never make it legit because most reenactors are way older and between liberalism and female cross dressing along with the exuberant price they could never afford the extras without reenactors. For the most part reenacting is a dead hobby... the numbers of reenactors is a fraction of the 1980s to the 2000s... anyone f40 years or older knows this that reenacts...

I see him in these dramatic movies, and all I see is his Dumb and Dumber character. It cracks me up seeing this leader with the face of Dumb and Dumber character.
I get what you mean because I see it, too but he also pulled off George Washington in an extremely convincing role. He's one of the fortunates that never got type casted.
You said it but one thing for sure even though I am not a rich person I would love to meet Jeff Daniels for sure and the reason is because he is in my all time favorite movie Gettysburg and I love the movie so much that my great uncle got me the poster that you would see in the movie theaters but I would also love to meet Jeff Daniels because I am sort of famous and what I mean by that is you see during the battle of Gettysburg my 4x great grandfather Jacob weikert who’s house and barn was used as a Union field hospital for the 5th corps army of the Potomac owned the land on which the 20th Maine made their famous famous bayonet charge against the 15th Alabama infantry regiment and it would mean a lot to me to meet the actor who portrays chamberlain
And just saying but I am a yanke as well because I had ancestors that fought in the civil war there were 3 of my 4x great uncles named George Washington Shriver, Levi Weikert and George E Kitzmiller so I know George Washington Shriver served in coles Calvary until he was captured on New Year’s Day 1864 in Rectorstown Virginia and then he was taking to Andersonville prisoner of war camp where he sadly passed away and I know my 4x great uncle Levi enlisted three times And last but not least of my 4x great uncles that fought in the civil war was My 4x great uncle Captain George E Kitzmiller who served valiantly in the ranks of Company K of the First Pennsylvania reserves infantry regiment and on June 22nd 1867 7 years before he passed away aged 27 the war department issued him a brevet promotion to captain to date March 13th 1865 for gallant and meritorious service in the wilderness campaign but besides my 3 4x great uncles there was also my 3x great grandfather Emanuel weikert who enlisted as a private in the second organization of company G 101st Pennsylvania infantry regiment and when he was an old man he was the only surviving civil war veteran in Adams county Pennsylvania but there was also my 4x great uncle David Martin Luther weikert aka Blind David and even though he didn’t fight the war took something from him so from what I know is that he was called Blind David because he was plowing his farm when his plow struck an unexploded shell while plowing his field long after the end of the civil war but as compensation he was allowed to set up a souvenir stand on little round top
LOL Some easy math: 2021 minus 1863 equals 158. Your relatives that were in WWII are almost certainly all dead. You _never_ experienced their world and can lay no claim to their attitudes and actions, let alone the world of 158 years ago and the actions and attitudes of the people alive then. Classic horseshit comment Dan, way to go.
People don't realize a Confederate could have killed him there but something told him not to. The soldier wrote him a letter many years later telling Chamberlain he thought he did the right thing. I disagree with the him but he did what he thought was right but his duty was to his southern brother's not Chamberlain. But Chamberlain was a class act and it's a miracle he survived so many battles. He was a brave man just like all those soldier's on both side's.
Well, it is a matter of record that Jeff Daniels is an actor, not an historian. He was told something, and like most people, he saw no reason to disbeleive it and that's that.
The movie does a poor job depicting this part if the battle. It was much more desperate, the confederates actually drove the 20th back numerous times and each time tgey fought their way back. It was brutal hand to hand combat and it was a bloody mess....I will never understand why civil war combat is so sanitized by Hollywood.
The Real fault was Lee did not make any preparations to assault the round tops. He actually considered them unimportant because the Union had no troops on those hills. Lee said at Gettysburg, the Enemy is there, and I will strike him there. He wanted a direct head on frontal assault and that is what he got, and it produced over 50.000 men killed, wounded and missing over just 3 days. It should be remembered as one of the Biggest and bloodiest stains on America's past.
Wrong movie. Gods and Generals was By the son of the author of Killer Angels, and it SUCKED. Gettysburg was amazing, and Jeff Daniels here was at his very best in it.
It saddens me that Jeff would do a movie like this. I thought he was smarter.... not to sound conceited but he does know Confederate constitution littaraly mentions slavory more then once and talks about how it is its core etc... come on jeff
Trever Piper He’s an actor describing his part in a movie which shows a terrible part of human history. It’s important we remember these things so as not to repeat them. Besides, his character in the movie fights for the Union to reunite the country and end slavery... so sounds like you need to be a bit smarter Trevor Piper. Oh, and your spelling is atrocious.
@@politicallyrelaxed3783 Oh yeah for sure. Gods and Generals is just a really bad movie all around. Now Gettysburg on the other hand, that was a good one.
That's from the much more depressing film for freedom lovers, Gettysburg. The fact that there were brave and intrepid blue-bellies does not change the fact that they were placed where they were to keep a whole people in a union that they joined voluntarily, through their states, and understood to be a union they could secede from any time it no longer suited their interests. That was a powerful incentive for the federal govt to not get tyrranical, and it was the North that wouldn't let the South secede peacefully, just every bit as much as their ancestors in tyranny, the English govt, wouldn't let the colonials secede from England peacefully. Nothing has changed the right of states to secede to this day. Brute force was never the solution to tyranny... :( :( :( If only we had some Governor Letchers, Robert E Lees, and Stonewall Jacksons today...
My Great-Great Grandfather fought for the United States. Losers, and their descendants, should get over it. The Union FOREVER! Hurrah boys, hurrah! Down with the traitors! Up with the Star!
This is Gettysburg, not Gods and Generals.
You are correct.
Grigoris Karelis the fighting at little round top is only portrayed in Gettysburg and Jeff Daniels is in both films
I liked Chamberlain because I got him for 5th grade history when we were given the roles of generals and reenacted the battles with Risk pieces.
Honest Heart You had a better 5th Grade Them md
Damn, I wish my 5th grade was like that.
Named the wrong movie their Bub. It’s Gettysburg he’s discussing here, not Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in Gods and Generals
there*
In a future battle, Chamberlain suffered a hip/groin bullet wound that festered and gave him horrific pain the rest of his life and ruined his marriage. He suffered more than most because of that cursed war. What a hero
Petersburg
Warren, Vincent and o'rorke were the backbone of the defense at the round top.
