Six months ago at Fredericksburg a lot of regiments were ordered to make their own Pickett's charge over sloping muddied ground - straight into Confederate musket fire and cannons the south had set up in a month ahead of time. 20th Maine was one of those regiments Good commander that the men put their faith and trust in.
I'll always remember how I did this for my monologue assignment in my Theatre Class in High School. I have a stutter, so I was so nervous. But when I got on stage, all that went away, I didn't stutter once. It was the first time in my life that I never stumbled on my words, I was 100% fluent, it was such a milestone in my life. I have this scene to thank for making me realize that If I put my mind to it, I can make my stutter disappear if I focus really hard.
Are you aware that Joshua Chamberlain struggled with stuttering? In overcoming it, he would think ahead of what he would say, giving thoughtful pauses. He attributed his success on the battlefield to having overcome his fear of stuttering, in thinking ahead he could guess what the enemy would do. That shows up in the movie several times. Other than actions in the CW, Chamberlain was a renowned professor at Bowdoin College. A truly great man.
@@user-co3pp1jp3v I have never heard this before. I'm obviously not calling you a 'liar' anything, but I'm curious where you heard this from? I've never heard anyone say that about Chamberlain before.
A short moment in the context of a great battle and war, but among the finest examples of command and leadership in all of American history. An awesome performance by actor Jeff Daniels.
Why the hell does this only have 5k views? This is one of the most important films, and scenes in history. Jeff Daniels is great, and the writing is perfect. Everyone should watch this movie. It took them over a decade to make it. I watch it every chance I get.

I had the pleasure of seeing “Gettysburg” in the theatre - twice - when it was released in October 1993 (my God, nearly 30 years ago!). Frankly, I when in not expecting much. However, as soon as Edelman's score came up and as the opening credits started to roll, I felt a shiver go down by neck, signaling that this was going to be quite an experience. To be sure, some of the lesser aspects of “Gettysburg” - weak acting by secondary characters, some poorly choreographed fight scenes, fake beards - looked embarrassing on the big screen. However, with the scenes of the 20th Maine’s defense of Little Round Top, General Lee (Martin Sheen) riding among Pickett’s division as they cheer themselves into a frenzy, and the entire sequence of Pickett’s Charge (Longstreet’s Assault), it was impossible not to feel swept up into the action.
I’m old enough to have seen Gettysburg when it was still a miniseries on TNT- before it was even released theatrically. Also old enough to have read the Killer Angels (the book it was based upon) in high school history class.
Why? They wouldn't understand it, nor care, and the conflict there has no similarities to the American Civil War. Nothing in this speech as anything to do with anything Ukrainian. They aren't fighting to "set other men free" and the values of the Unionists have nothing in common with the Ukrainians.
I just read that 114 of 120 men joined General Chamberlain, into a unit that already had a 70% casualty rate.
So much respect for these men....
And three of the 6 who initially refused actually did fight later at little round top

A) This still sends shivers down my spine
B) Jeff Daniels should have been nominated for an Oscar for this performance
absolutely Jeff Daniels got robbed.

Truly inspirational Mr. Illinois Motion Picture Studios! Loved your three-and-a-half hour long Lego Movie too!

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is the Dick Winters of the Civil War... a true hero/badass!
Very good analogy

Great movie. Gods and General was a great movie as well.
Should be required watch in Jr. High. Oh if our school system was fair...

America in nutshell
Today, 07/01/2023 is the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg
There have been three or four movie scenes I have ever watched that actually made me cry. This is the only one that still does.
This movie from beginning to end was PERFECT.
Me as a 2nd Mainer: "Is THAT your colonel?"
20th Maine: "Yes, yes he is."
Me: "Alright, I'm in."
My great grandfather’s brothers served with the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry.
My grandson’s great grandparents were enslaved in North Carolina.
If only these men saw the country now they made a difference
Jeff Daniels embodied Chamberlain.
Remarkable performance.
The Little Round Top battle was the butterfly effect that changed the course of the world history.
I’m using this video for an assignment for my schoolwork cuz I’m homeschooled!
The first of many powerful tearjerker scenes in the film.
"Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this...and totally redeem yourself."
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is rare that soldiers in war can say they fought for something bigger than themselves.

"We are an army out to set other men free." Not sure I can think of any cause nobler than that.
It was an army of liberation
It is a damn shame they dont teach public speaking the way they used to
This should be shown to the defenders of Ukraine.
And then they go free all the slaves
The Ukraine is just as Corrupted as Russia.

I’m sorry what?
Ukraine is only around because of all the money and weapons the corrupt American government is sending.
For Ukraine for America
Slava Ukraine.
Is 'Slava' short for 'It's lava", as in a warning about approaching volcanic detritus?
