La Guerra Civil estadounidense vista por el cine

Historical cinema is one of the most popular Hollywood genres. Nonetheless, few events have been as prolific on the big screen as the United States Civil War (1861-1865), which posed the threat of secession in what was still a young country.This introductory article is an approach to that topic, more quantitative than distinctly analytical, although it does offer an esthetic and contextual assessment of the major films: The Birth of a Nation (1915), Gone with the Wind (1939), Glory (1989) and Gettysburg (1993). These are four classic films on a conflict that divided the United States of America in a way that is comparable only to the division in public opinion generated by the Vietnam War.
