Review of Field of Lost Shoes

While this movie may have not been the most accurate as far as miniscule detail goes this movie was actually quite an emotional roller coaster showing different more personal elements of the civil war. This movie not only shows how personal the civil war touched many but also showed how for many confederate soldiers they did not know what they were really fighting for. When many think of the confederacy and the men who fought to defend it many in their minds will be quick to blame slavery however these boys who were drafted into the military were actually fighting in the name of their family and friends and not for slavery. In fact one boy was actually emotionally scared by slavery and seeing it first hand, having sympathy for them. This just goes to show that the civil war was not just a passing crossfire between the North and South but rather something that broke up families relationships. Which is why I give this movie 7 stars.
