ESSIE SPEAKS OF CIVIL WAR

I know. A tad odd banging on and on about how peace-loving I am (and I am!) and then coming up with weeks dedicated to war films. I would understand if you began to get a tad suspicious.

But honestly, these civil war stories just randomly came to me. The theme was "in built" as it were. And none of these films claim that civil war is a good thing. One of the reasons I picked these three films is that they offer either a perspective on a famous event that we don't usually think about, or gave us a bit more info on historical events. They are good films, sad films, but they also teach us many things. One of them being that war of any kind is a terrible thing...

happy viewing,
Essie
