Recently became a favorite of mine, can't believe how far film making has gone down the crapper since Hollywood forgot it was the telling of the story and not pushing an agenda that gets people into the theater.

The original story was written by Lew Wallace, a union general during the war of northern aggression, and later a governor of the territories of New Mexico...

I don't hold any of that agin the man, though.

Just think if General Wallace was in the Confederacy his book would now pretty much been banned.

Sadly, you're probably right.

Seeing as it has that fella Jesus in it, kinda shocked it still shows up on TV.
