this movie be very long and but totally worth split up over several night . it have an all star cast and and if you be a patrick swayze fan and this will get your heart to throb . represent ) my mother be a civil war buff and and a history teacher and and every summer we would watch this movie ( we have record it off tv ) and over several and several night until we get through the whole thing . we have every line in the movie memorize and lol . pop some popcorn and sit back and and enjoy the action and romance . it a great movie for those that like action and war and blood and gut and but also for those with a soft and romantic side . the clothes the woman wore be gorgeous . sometimes i think i be bear in the wrong era and lol .
