If the gratuitous lack of sharpness (this photograph's only prominent
characteristic) is supposed to mimic photography as is was in 1864, it
doesn't
wash. There is a large corpus of images taken of and during the American
Civil
War, and even the actual battlefield pictures are universally sharper than
this.
Note that the 1939 movie of "Gone With the Wind" doesn't fall into this
trap.
The photography is colorful and sharp, and it conveys the spirit of the
story
and its time very successfully.
BTW, the "introduction based on the concept" also included some sort of
rant
on Australian immigration policy. I assume that I'm far from alone in this
newsgroup in knowing nothing whatever, and caring not a whit, about that
issue.
