Flawed but still one of the best Civil War films
I'd been bitten by the Civil War bug a while back and being a movie buff started hunting down and watching films that take during the war. I confess I was actually pleasantly surprised by Shenandoah and quite enjoyed it for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the film states matter of factly that the war is being fought over slavery, that the Confederacy is fighting to preserve slavery, and that slavery itself is bad. It's truly frustrating just how few Civil War films actually do this. There's really not a lot of them. Go look for yourself if you don't believe me. Shenandoah also does something else fairly taboo busting for 1965. The portrayal of the Confederacy isn't all that flattering. Mind you the film's overall thesis is that no matter the causes, war is inherently brutal and ... I'd been bitten by the Civil War bug a while back and being a movie buff started hunting down and watching films that take during the war. I confess I was actually pleasantly surprised by Shenandoah and quite enjoyed it for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the film states matter of factly that the war is being fought over slavery, that the Confederacy is fighting to preserve slavery, and that slavery itself is bad. It's truly frustrating just how few Civil War films actually do this. There's really not a lot of them. Go look for yourself if you don't believe me. Shenandoah also does something else fairly taboo busting for 1965. The portrayal of the Confederacy isn't all that flattering. Mind you the film's overall thesis is that no matter the causes, war is inherently brutal and senseless, and the Union isn't portrayed in a particularly flattering light either. But progress is progress. There's a real back and forth in the film with how each army is depicted. The Union: • Union soldiers mistake Boy for any enemy soldier and capture him. BAD. • A Union Colonel points Stewart's character in the right direction of where Boy will be and gives him a handwritten note explaining the situation and imploring whatever Union officer that reads it to help the Andersons. GOOD. • A Union officer at the POW train denies the Andersons permission to even look for Boy on the train because the officer has deadlines to meet, and this is all said and done with particular callousness. BAD. • Boy is caught in a battle during the film's climax and is shot. A Union soldier runs up to Boy with intention of bayonetting him. But it is revealed that the Union soldier is the now free Gabriel, who proceeds to carry Boy to safety. GOOD. The Confederacy • At the beginning of the film a Confederate officer comes to the Anderson farm and attempts to draft as all the young Anderson men because the Confederacy is losing the war. BAD. • A government official (implied to be a Confederate because this takes place in Virginia) tries and fails to legally confiscate livestock from the Anderson farm. BAD. • A Confederate POW helps Boy escape from a prison camp and looks out for him. GOOD. • Near the end of the film when the Andersons have tried their best to find Boy despite the odds, they tearfully resign themselves to failure and head for home. On their way home a young Confederate sentry is startled by the sound of their horses and shoots and kills one of the Anderson sons instantly. BAD. One scene I can't properly categorize involves a group of three men only referred to as scavengers near the end of the film. These three scavengers kill the two adults left on the Anderson farm and steal valuables. I'm not entirely clear if these men were supposed to be ex Union or ex Confederate soldiers. To my eye at least there wasn't any obvious visual clue. So, file this on under miscellaneous. I do feel obligated to mention that while the film has a fairly even-handed approach to how both armies are portrayed, the Confederates are unfortunately (and unsurprisingly 🙄) given slightly more sympathy because we the audience see weary bedraggled Confederate POWs in at least two scenes and the one Anderson woman's husband is a Confederate soldier who is portrayed as a good man. This will be a deal breaker for a lot of modern viewers which I completely understand. But I infinitely prefer this film's approach of even handedness and putting slavery right out there in the open as the cause of the war, as opposed to the standard formula of portraying Confederates as scrappy underdogs, Union soldiers as villains, and completely ignoring or lying about the slavery being the cause of the war. The film's main thesis is that War is Hell which I'm sad to say is a more relevant message than ever. This is summed up quite nicely by Stewart's character at the end of the film. There's nothing much I can tell you about this war. It's like all wars, I suppose. The undertakers are winning it. Oh, the politicians will talk a lot about the "glory" of it, and the old men'll talk about the "need" of it—the soldiers, they just want to go home. -Charlie Anderson According to Bruce Chadwick's book "The Reel Civil War" Shenandoah was partially marketed as teaching tool to be used in American classrooms. While the film wouldn't be ideal for several reasons today, Shenandoah would be infinitely superior to teachers using Gone with the Wind or some other Lost Cause film.

Shenandoah is powerful just like the theme of the movie
this movie shows how one family felt about the way between the states and how their opinions changed throughout the long war. it gives you a lot to think about. I saw this many years ago and it "stuck" with me all this time. it's worth watching again and it could help teach someone about the terrible war our country fought among ourselves. I would recommend it.

You've got to be kidding!
An old time movie starring Jimmy Stewart that does not include nudity, drugs or every other word beginning with the letter "f"? For today's populace, this would probably not be entertaining, and the characters would not be engaging. But for the old timers like me, these were the kinds of movies we went to see while we were growing up. It was a different time, with a different way of thinking. I love this movie, the cast, characters and plot lines. A gem. Thank you for making it available.An old time movie starring Jimmy Stewart that does not include nudity, drugs or every other word beginning with the letter "f"?
