The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams (2005)

In the movie these are the details that were given. Robert Adams was born in 1832. Eveline McCord two years after him in July 1834. On the grave stones give this information also. But Nelson's grave stone reads Nov. 1834. Wasn't Nelson and Eveline siblings?? How and they both have been born in the same year but the most puzzling part is one was in July and the second in November. That just isn't right, is it? Also I have searched Google, Wikipedia and ask.com for Robert Adams None of the information presented were not dated in the 1800's. Can anyone help me with this information? I very much enjoyed the movie. But the details are very important to me. I hope someone can find the time to help me with this information I search for. Contact [email protected] Thank you Gail

Many of the posters who have made negative comments on this fantastic film are apparently some who were rightfully fired from the production. How unfortunate for them, because this was quite a movie.I also understand that the budget of this film was around one million US dollars. That seems impossible, because of the lush and broad scope of the film, but those who told me that were sources within South Carolina government who had knowledge (who also told me of the employees, who were rightfully fired from the production, who've spoken ill of the film simply as an attempt at revenge). Apparently those fired were involved as well in the destruction a television show in the Charleston area.A fantastic production in every way. A wonderful story and a touching tale of love's strength.

This movie lacked well...just about everything. Anything from the soundtracks to the acting without southern accents was enough for me to just simply laugh at this film during the whole dreadful ninety-six minutes. Mickey Rooney, I will admit was good and one woman actually had a southern accent, but otherwise it was a waste of money. When I look at a documentary type movie, like this, I think they should have historical accuracy, real acting, a basic understanding of some type of plot and emotion. This film also had flashbacks to scenes that either happened twenty seconds ago, had no significance, or weren't even in the movie to begin with. This movie is surprisingly dull for a 2005 release. The director and production company should be ashamed that they actually made something worse than the recently released Bratz movie, which I was dragged to see by my girlfriend. I guess this is why you rent a movie before you buy it, so you don't waste your money on something worthless. My ultimate idea is that every disk of this movie should be destroyed in a fiery grave, so that no one will have to endure its torture ever again.

Strike the Tent is a beautifully shot film that captures the external and internal conflict of the civil war and a families history of the period. Julian Adams shows strong acting ability in portraying the story of his family and the tough choices that have to be made for love and country.I enjoyed the pace of the movie and have to comment again on the impressive cinematography. I can't tell but if this was shot digitally and transfered kudos to the production team in the final print. The story tells how true love overcomes all obstacles in its way. The film effectively captures a country split ideologically, socially and geographically and the plight of South Carolinians protecting their home and lands from the onslaught of war, illness and tyranny. It depicts the weary soldiers seeking not only victory but revenge and the plunders of war. Tragic in its honest depiction of the sacrifices both armies and families had to endure. In the end, the love that is all but impossible is the only thing that will never die in this historical memoir. Thanks again for sharing this remarkable story of your family. I look forward to seeing the film again once it is released on DVD. I enjoyed this first effort and look forward to other projects from these promising film makers.
