Customer Reviews of The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams

Great advance in independent film making
Hollywood would love to maintain their monopoly, uh, stanglehold on film-making with multi-million dollar budgets and big name stars. The problem of course is their cultural marxist worldview and moral filth continue to debase everything it touches. <
> This is an independent film with a different point of view which is skillfully done and beautifully presented. The female love interest is drop-dead gorgeous. Whoever she is she makes the plastic bimbos we are usually forced to see look comical by comparison. The setting is realistic, the costuming exacting and the historical research that went into dialogue is convincing. <
> The male lead is a devoted Confederate patriot who is an excellent archtype of the men in gray who served with devotion and sacrifice. Certain to raise the hackles of PC nazis everywhere it has managed to fly largely under the radar (just like Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil). Any publicity it gets now will just drive people to see it and HORRORS, they might get enough of the truth to cast doubt on their brainwashing, uh, education. <
> Give it a try and see for yourself. And to those out there who had the courage to make it, THANK YOU!! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Love & Honor & War
The fact that this movie was made is probably a small miracle, but the Adams family was determined to tell the story of their ancestors Robert and Eveline and The Last Confederate shines as a labor of loving testament to their memory. It is a tapestry into which are woven the values of love, honor, duty, courage, perseverance, loyalty and sacrifice. Those of Southern heritage will appreciate their recognition of nuances mostly overlooked or ignored in Hollywood feature films about the Civil War. Weston and Julian Adams are real-life father and son. They portray Julian's Great-Great Grandfather Robert Adams who met and fell in love on the eve of the War with Eveline McCord, a lady from Philadelphia who came to South Carolina as a governess. During the War, Robert was a captain in a South Carolina regiment. Weston Adams has a cameo role; his son has the lead role and he bears an uncanny resemblance to his ancestor. They play courtly Southerners well for they are courtly Southerners in real life. There are no fake accents and melodramatic unsympathetic renderings here. Julian's acting is understated and he lets the story shine through. He is a handsome, sensitive actor and makes a memorable screen presence in his first major acting role and I look forward to seeing him in future roles. Gwendolyn Edwards plays Eveline as an intelligent and accomplished young woman caught between two worlds and the struggle of mind and heart. The cinematography is striking and the soundtrack is nice and I wish it were available. There are some good fighting sequences that capture the bitter agonies of war without being excessive or gruesome. The love scenes are romantic, tender and sweet. The supporting cast is very good and they work well within the framework of the story. I do not understand why the DVD received an R Rating for the violence is minimal. The documentary about the making of the film is interesting and reveals the Adams' passion to share the remarkable story of their ancestors. They have done what many of us who are fascinated by our family histories wish we could do. This little movie can hold its own among other films of the Civil War genre, but it is above all a story not so much about war but love in war. I liked it very much and highly recommend it.

Pretty Good
This is a fairly good movie except where the dead yankee forgets to take off his wrist watch about 8 minutes into the picture. I don't understand why goofs like this still happens in the movies. It often kills the mood.
