>>>i dont get it... It's the contrast between the quiet, polite civilian life for a man who has just returned from the bloody horror of battle. Something soldiers returning from all manner of wars have trouble adjusting too. This scene is the most timeless in the movie, as it speaks to the experience of war itself, rather than the particular war the film is about.

I know exactly what you mean. As a veteran and Army spouse, anytime I saw soldiers come back from anything, even relief operations after the Rwanda genocide, they were just "different", like a loss of innocence.

Appreciate the dichotomy of life in this movie. None of these people, other than his friend and the amputee vet knows how traumatic the war Is

I think this scene was pretending to be some post war traumatic dissorder after the first battle when he was near to be killed.

Acting is not real. They acted like they were fighting but REALLY were not. The real war was far more brutal and bloody.

He and his family were very much part of the abolition movement and it would have been a great dishonor for Shaw to sit out the war. Back then, honor and respect was everything. The most egregious affront one could commit would be to bring shame and dishonor to the family name, especially one so well-renowned as Shaw's. Gentleman of prestige and honor became military officers, that was pretty much expected and was the way of things then.
