Handsome American Civil War drama from director Ang Lee. A gang of Confederate bushwhackers battle to survive and preserve their way of life in a series of daring, bloody raids on the North., American Civil War drama. When his father is killed by Unionists, wealthy Southerner Jack Bull Chiles and his friend Jake Roedel join the Bushwhackers, a disparate group of Confederate-aligned men, bent on revenge. After becoming involved in several violent skirmishes in which a number of his friends die, Jake finds romance with a young war widow. But in this tumultuous time, their future is far from certain., Ang Lee’s American Civil War epic concentrates on the rebel South, where Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, Simon Baker-Denny and Jeffrey Wright are members of a group of ‘bushwhackers’, who harry the Union troops and supporters. But the group are forced by a harsh winter to take shelter with a sympathetic family, including the recently widowed and pregnant Jewel. The film, while showing the violence of the conflict also examines their true motives for fighting, as Lee’s film looks at the pointlessness of their ineffectual struggle., A complex tale of uneasy alliances and hostilities along the Kansas/Missouri border during the Civil War, Ride with the Devil opens in 1862. The story concerns Jack Bull Chiles (Skeet Ulrich), a proud son of the South ready to fight for the Confederate cause after his father is killed by Yankee troops. Chiles’s friend, Jake Roedel (Tobey Maguire), joins the Bushwhackers, a group of renegade Southerners aligned with the Confederate Army, even though his family supports the Union cause – which sets him head-to-head with his father. The two young men, used to the slow pace and gracious lifestyle of the South’s privileged class, become guerilla fighters and wander through the countryside together, encountering sudden, shocking and extreme acts of violence. Their comrades include valiant leader Black John (James Caviezel), paranoid madman Pitt (Jonathan Rhys Myers), gentleman George (Simon Baker), and Daniel (Jeffrey Wright), a laconic former slave who unexpectedly fighs for the south despite his race out of sheer loyalty to George – though the others regard him with suspicion. The Bushwhackers hide out in a shed near the home of Sue Lee Shelley (singer/songwriter/poet Jewel), a pregnant widow whose husband was killed three weeks after their marriage. Later, following a shocking and unexpected act of violence, a number of the men team up with the crazed Quantrill (John Ales) to stage an attack on an abolitionist stronghold, but Jake finds his moral conscience growing more acute, and takes the first steps toward romancing and starting a family with Sue Lee in what looks to be a very different post-Civil War future. Adapted from the novel Woe to Live On by Daniel Woodrell, Ride with the Devil was directed by Ang Lee, whose previous project was a very different look at America’s past, the 1970s domestic drama The Ice Storm (1997)., Ang Lee directed this harrowing epic about a little-known band of Civil War fighters known as “Bushwhackers,” who used guerrilla warfare to destroy Yankee targets. Skeet Ulrich and Tobey Maguire are superb as young volunteers, whose idealism is challenged when they become embroiled in the bloody conflict. Jewel Kilcher, Jeffrey Wright, Simon Baker.
