Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie it is dawn of June 30th, but should be dawn of 29th. Harrison the scout completes his task and reports to Gen Longstreet. Longstreet confers with Lee and it is now evening. The next several scenes show a new dawn when Sorrell asks if he should wake the men, Buster wakes up Col Chamberlain and a bit later Gen Buford arrives in town with his cavalry and no fighting yet. This second dawn should be June 30th, not July 1st, the first day of the battle. Further that day ends with Buford drafting report for Gen Reynolds.
