Storyline:He took them back to his isolated farm home to meet his single mother - needy, lonesome ("empty inside") and love-starved (Cara Williams), and abandoned eight months earlier by her husband.R.Company's Southern locomotive,The General.He fastidiously flicks dust from the ledge of the cab window, next to his assistant.His train, with a large brass nameplate ("General") gracefully pulls into the sunlit trainyard in Marietta, Georgia - on time.They are ready with fixed bayonets to go over the top for the assault.Memorably filmed like a documentary (without a sweeping musical score), the lengthy and fluid tracking shots follow him from behind, then from in front, as the bombardment increases - the air is full of mortar explosions, the sound of machine guns and rifle fire, and the whine of bombs.That's a good gook.Good and dead.Stumbling onward, the sickened Chris began to retch into the brush, and Sgt.Barnes was pissed off: "What the hell's he matter with you Taylor!
