Chickamauga

I just recently saw Chickamauga, and I thought it was very well shot and the story line was like no other. My film analysis class saw it for the first time and the reactions were very different. When Johny, the deaf-mute begins envisioning the drummer soldier as a clown was a little frightening. It just goes to show how blind our eyes were at the Civil War. All being seen through the little boy's mind was quite surreal. All and all it was a very good film that I would recommend. Just don't be scared when Johny starts riding the slave and the dying soldier, he doesn't know any better. His mother and father let him go off and play out in the forest by himself for an extended period of time, even when they know there is a battle beginning. Johny falls asleep and wakes up to encounter, what it seems to him, a fun atmosphere. Watch for yourself and see where it takes you!
