Gods and tycoons

Even standing nose to nose, Ted Turner called you as if you were in the next county and it was stupid for young people and old people to kill each other. "He played the trumpet with a strange tone. You don't see many women doing this. "They are so smart." His white beard is trembling, so I prefer women to men. Ha ha ha. This is one of the reasons.

It was in a cornfield, where 5 civil war reenacters performed the Battle of Fort fredericks. The special effects machine emitted a fluffy white smoke, and Turner's voice rumbled. While in rural Maryland, his testosterone charges $54 million for the Civil War epic, Gods and Generals, the founder of CNN and Ted Turner's pictures, which is the funding for this film, and seems to surpass the director Ron Maxwell, actors Robert Duval (Robert E Lee) and Stephen Lang (as "Stone Wall" Jackson) worth $6 billion). His knee-high boots, his trailer, a $2 million, and a 68-foot "long-range" business jet are parked nearby. "This is a challenger," said his Pagnon Frederic Daragon. (She is not big, but she has a strong French accent, and her plump auburn curly hair caresses the lush fur collar on her black jacket. ) Even Turner's scratchy gray wool jacket with a tassel sword with a gold handle seems to be bigger than other actors, as if it came from a prop closet marked "God" instead of "General".

Turner's part, however, is tiny. (His character Colonel Waller Barton has only one dialogue. Before taking over his role, he kissed Frederick on the lips. " "Goodbye," he told her to wait for me. I walked to the front.

"get out of here ... and act," Director Maxwell shouted through a loudspeaker with batteries.

"Please turn off your cell phone," the director roared. There was no flash. "(The accessories of the re-entrant with a proper beard are not a canteen, a magazine or a 1-pound Enfield rifle around 1862, but a palm-sized point-and-shoot camera. )

The scene is outside the winter camp of the Confederate Army, where the exhausted soldiers are enjoying a musical performance and a minstrel band composed of members of the Texas Brigade is performing on the temporary stage. There is a banjo, several guitars and an Yili girl in a ring skirt. She leads the troops to sing "Bonnie Blue Flag". Turner sang his lines cheerfully: "We owe you boys in Texas a thank you for putting these programs on the show." These actors are screaming and screaming. Turner shot high and hard, as if he were watching the Atlanta Braves game.

It is scheduled to be released in the autumn of 22, and God and the General will follow the success of Gettysburg, a feature film and a four-hour TNT TV mini-drama, which is also directed by Maxwell (a Pulitzer Prize-winning killer angel according to the late Michael Shahala). After Shaala's death in May 1988, the director suggested that Shaala's son Jeff continue his father's story. Jeff was a rare coin dealer at that time. Jeff never thought he was a writer, but Maxwell persuaded him to have a try after reading a touching letter he wrote. Today, Sarah dressed up as a major in Texas. Robert e lee iv is here today, even though he is not one of the catwalk performers of many famous people in the film. Among them were senators Phil gleim, George Allen and Robert Byrd, who played Ang Lee's adjutant and celebrated Ang Lee's 84th birthday on the set.

More than 7,5 reenacters applied for many things from the film's website by e-mail, recreating the largest battles in the film, such as Manacas I, Antietam, Chance Roseveare and Fort fredericks. In fact, there were 12, casualties. "If you are looking for heroes," Turner said, looking at the gray and blue numbers, "there are many heroes here." When the crew heard the terrible news on September 11th, they were on a farm in southern Staunton, Virginia. Shooting is suspended. A priest was taken to the set, and later some actors and crew members attended church services. The face of the reenacter was still covered with blood and jackets that were ready to be torn by bullet holes. "Every speech is true, even after September 11th," said Jeff Daniels, an actor who plays Colonel Joshua Chamberlain. "It shows what we are defending. These people defended Washington 1 years after its success.

"We have many scenes of relatives leaving," said actor Bruce bocks leitner (General James Long strait). (The Civil War) was an era when the United States was torn by the most terrible situation, but we rallied and became stronger. The message is: no matter what we face, we can get through it.

"When I was a child, patriotism was very unpopular," said Jeff Shara, 49, who was a 4-F in the Vietnam War and now has an obvious recovery, which is not unconscious. This is a feeling of "who are we?" People want to feel good about this country again. For a long time, our generation didn't. My grandfather has a bumper sticker "America: Love it or Leave it". Maxwell, a 55-year-old objector in Vietnam, said:

"This is about parting, farewell, reunion and the real basic elements in life." When all this happened all over the United States, we filmed such a scene. Couples going to Afghanistan. It's a double emotion for us. Double bitterness. This love for the country has always existed. It is either latent, repressed or denied. The evidence is September 11th. You can't create something that is not in people's minds.

Joining hands with the White House and Hollywood to promote patriotic entertainment, it seems that the gods are fully capable of success at the box office. Of course, as screenwriter William Goldman famously said to Hollywood, "Nobody knows anything." This includes Turner. What am I, a soothsayer? "I don't know what kind of mood this country will be."
