Simply Perfect

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

good back-story, and good acting

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

In the movie these are the details that were given. Robert Adams was born in 1832. Eveline McCord two years after him in July 1834. On the grave stones give this information also. But Nelson's grave stone reads Nov. 1834. Wasn't Nelson and Eveline siblings?? How and they both have been born in the same year but the most puzzling part is one was in July and the second in November. That just isn't right, is it? Also I have searched Google, Wikipedia and ask.com for Robert Adams None of the information presented were not dated in the 1800's. Can anyone help me with this information? I very much enjoyed the movie. But the details are very important to me. I hope someone can find the time to help me with this information I search for. Contact sppmybabies@AOL.com Thank you Gail

Many of the posters who have made negative comments on this fantastic film are apparently some who were rightfully fired from the production. How unfortunate for them, because this was quite a movie.I also understand that the budget of this film was around one million US dollars. That seems impossible, because of the lush and broad scope of the film, but those who told me that were sources within South Carolina government who had knowledge (who also told me of the employees, who were rightfully fired from the production, who've spoken ill of the film simply as an attempt at revenge). Apparently those fired were involved as well in the destruction a television show in the Charleston area.A fantastic production in every way. A wonderful story and a touching tale of love's strength.

The Last Confederate is a dull, uninspiring spin off of the Robert Adams story. Nothing in this movie impressed me. The acting was atrocious. There was not one believable character in the film. It just didn't seem authentic and the cinematography was amateur at best. It reminded me of a late night movie that would come on the lifetime channel. The production values are low and there is hardly any action . If you are expecting a hardcore war movie, look elsewhere because this feels more like a lousy romance novel. After watching Seraphim Falls with Pierce Bronson, a hardboiled western set after the civil war, you can tell the difference in the quality of direction and writing, and it was just so much more fast paced. Leave this one on the shelf.

I thought it was a well scripted, well shot, well acted movie. This movie is an independent and low budget movie, but you won't notice. It takes place during the Civil War, but it's more than just that. It's the story of a guy fighting for what he believes in and who he loves. The story starts out before the Civil War and progresses through out the war, to the end of the war when he comes home. It is more than just a story of the Civil War but what happened to people during the war. This story is taken from the letters and diaries of the people portrayed in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. This movie was a labor of love for the producers and the whole crew and it shows through on the film.
