Here is what people are saying about the Shenandoah
 "Classic James Stewart" | 2009-09-13 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1G3SYHKCFNYLJ |
| This is a classic civil war era movie wioth some great actors and a pretty good script. Leaving a son and daughter-in-law with a new baby alone with all the bad guys in the area, while you take all the rest of the men hunting for a lost younger son, is a little bit unbelieveable but I guess that's how they write them. I think the Ranchers take on who provided for their success in farming is very indicative of out humanist society. God is given a backup role in their success. All in all, this was an entertaining movie. |

| "Moving, beautifully filmed Drama about family's determination to stay together during America's Civil War." | 2009-05-05 |

Absolutely beautiful film that only gets better with age, showcasing one of the great actor, James Stewart's very best performances.
The film tells the story of a close knit family led by patriarch Stewart who is determined to keep his family out of the Civil War and stay to work on there farm in Virginia. However, the war catches up to them eventually and with it comes tragedy,loss,death and finally, hope.
Director Mclagen was mainly known for directing films more of the Action variety, but embues the film with a great subtlety and warmth that connects and involves the viewer in the story.
Stewart's character is a noble character whom the audience can identify with. A good man who is a widower and truly loves and cares for his family and does not believe(rightfully) in the insanity of War. The rest of the cast are absolutely believable in there parts, but it's Stewart that anchors this film.
The film is often classified in the Western genre, but it's really more of a historical Drama and one of cinema's best interpretations of the American Civil War.
Both sides are handled with equally amounts of symapthy and neither are villiainized for the antagonist of this piece is rather war itself than the men involved therein.
Veteran actor George Kennedy has a classic bit as a world weary general who sympathesizes with Stewart's dstraught father who has just had his young son taken prisoner by the Union Army. It's a little scene but it adds alot of weight to the film.
Credit must be given to how unexpected the deaths are presented within this film, adding extra layers of tragedy that makes for a film destined to be labelled a tearjerker.
Easily one of the best films about this most written about topic in American history and one of the most neglected. Certainly worth a reappraisal by audiences seeking entertainment with genuine heart and feeling not dilluted by rampant cynicism. |

 "A metaphor for the war which would divide 1960s America" | 2008-09-14 |
| - Reviewed By bexaralamobpo |
I recall seeing this film as a child and then later on DVD while working at an Aid Station in Diyala Province (FOB Warhorse). I've always viewed this film as somewhat of a backdoor critique of Viet Nam. As others have noted, production on this film was completed in '65. This would have been well before a broad cross-section of America came to see the war in SE Asia as futile and unwinnable by the restrictions placed on our forces there. But I nonetheless believe that the film was Hollywood's metaphor about having to take sides even when you dont wish to in actual shooting wars or in no less fiery "culture wars". How did audiences in Selma or Montgomery or Atlanta react to the sight of the young freed slave in the heat of an assault pausing to recognize his old friend and NOT bayoneting him?
Historical inaccuracies in this film will be pointed out by gleeful "gotcha!" purists, as they've done above. Weapons are anachronistic, to say the least.
Stewart shines and saves what might have otherwise been a mediocre film |

| Stewart shines in "Shenandoah" and leads a terrific cast. This is my favorite film of all times. I've seen it so often I've stopped counting. The problem is my tears start flowing early in anticipation of the emotional scenes. |
