Review of Field of Lost Shoes

The movie focuses more on the aspects of war outside of the battlefield, and I think it doesn't quite focus enough on the hardships and conditions that real Confederate soldiers in the Civil War would have faced. Rather than showing the chaos and stress felt by soldiers, the film mainly portrays the soldiers as hopeful young men, filled with spirit and compassion. The movie does not give enough attention to the issue and debate of slavery during the war, and shows all the soldiers as kind and caring to the slaves in the South.The movie was overall pretty good, and showed in detail lots of the emotions of the soldiers fighting, and gave a different perspective when it showed the role of women in the war. In the Battle at New Market, I thought some of the acting and deaths were a bit over dramatic, but for the most part it was good."Field of Lost Shoes" was more interesting than other Civil War movies have been for me, as it focuses on youth while remaining mostly accurate.
