A prior discussion about this, iirc, noted that Texas was chosen to make it less overtly political, but I haven't seen the movie.

The movie is fantastic btw. It's a love story to war journalism and an actual fantastic depiction of what civil war here would be like.

One of the few movies I've watched repeatedly.

You’re one of the few people I’ve heard have as high opinion of that movie as I do. I love it, but basically everyone else I know hated it.

I loved it too - but I'm not American. From the outside perspective, the movie seems much more realistic than many Americans want to admit to themselves.

It's incredibly realistic, especially the parts where certain parts of the country were just straight up ignoring it. Very underrated movie.
