Saul mustered all Israel and camped at Gilboa. 4 The Philistines assembled they came and camped at Shunem. In the meantime Saul had removed the mediums and magicians from the land. Achish said to David, “You should fully understand that you and your men must go with me into the battle.” 2 David replied to Achish, “That being the case, you will come to know what your servant can do!” Achish said to David, “Then I will make you my bodyguard from now on.” ģ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented over him and had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. 28 In those days the Philistines gathered their troops for war in order to fight Israel. But, still, “Gettysburg” has its good moments and I watch it again from time to time.Īuthor Jeff Shaara (son of Michael Shaara who wrote Killer Angels) penned a prequel to his father’s book called Gods and Generals, which takes the reader from the beginning of the Civil War up to the Battle of Gettysburg. That is to say, fake, lacking the grit and realism that a war movie ought to have. And it looks rather like one big Civil War reenactment. The movie version, “Gettysburg,” began as a made-for-tv production, and therefore has a sort of low-budget feel. The novel is, in my opinion, the best piece of historical fiction ever written about the Civil War. Produced by Ted Turner, directed by Ron Maxwell, “Gettysburg” was based on the 1974 novel by Michael Shaara entitled Killer Angels. “Gods and Generals” (2003) was the much anticipated prequel to the fairly well-received film “Gettysburg” (1993). But, the relatively recent release of the director’s cut renewed that frustration for me. Not too long ago, I actually put myself through the torture of renting the extended edition of “Gods and Generals.” The almost universal gnashing of teeth over this movie on the part of historians and reenactors is old news.
