I really do not understand why Jackson asked Jeb Stuart this in the movie. Using tobacco back in the 1800s wasnt as taboo as it is now, so I really dont get why Jackson would care.
anybody care to explain?
Good question. I thinking Jackson was maybe trying to find out some of the personal vices of Stuart. Jackson could be very odd about personal foibles such as when he discovered that he liked bread too much with butter so he ate it instead without the butter. I think he says something similar about tobacco to Stuart.
Frank: Just a man.
Harmonica: An ancient race.
If Jackson was as religious as he was portrayed he was a real hypocrite. He was all about taking no prisoners and brutally executing prisoners.
"The black flag"
So yea, there was that too. I found him to be more of a jerk than a Saint, then again, I'm a big fan of the blue bellies so....
I like the line from the 'The Killer Angels' that Longstreet remembers by Jackson: 'I don't want them brave I want them dead."
Frank: Just a man.
Harmonica: An ancient race.
Yet he's portrayed as Holy-er than thou...
Exactly my point, good one.
Well, according to the bible, it is ok to kill your enemies isnt it? i think i read that somewhere. thou shalt not kill, UNLESS they have different beliefs than you and dont follow your interpretation of God, the law, or morals. yes i think i read that somewhere, or maybe a preacher told me...

Ron Maxwell wrote all kinds of unnecessary scenes in this film. Who knows what he was thinking.
shareI am not sure Ron Maxwell wrote anything for this movie. I would say he cut and pasted his way through the writing process without thinking that the audience would have to endure this cinematic piece of you know what.
