फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Being a native of South Carolina, I just truly "lived" in this movie. The actors 'became' the characters and I could feel what it was like during that turbulent time.
This is not a "slick" film one way or the other. Gwendolyn Edwards makes you want to bow and offer her your hand for a promenade; Julian Adams makes you realize what true Southern men went through during that time: it was not easy, nor pat, nor automatic. It was a time that was hard on all Southerners.
This film made it natural that you identify with the characters: they were not heroes, supermen, or plastic celebrities. They were real people.
I'll add this to my collection, and that is a rare honor indeed. Movies are so cheap and easily attainable that it's not worth the time and trouble to buy them. But I will definitely buy this one so that I always have it near to hand.
A million thanks to Julian and Weston Adams and to Gwendolyn Edwards. You all made it so real and so natural.
Thank you.

A noble cause in wanting to make this film by the family of John Adams, but uh boy, there are serious script flaws, lack of believability in some of the characters due to sub-par acting (by Julian Adams, mainly), continuity problems, and a wardrobe that at times looks like it came out of a cracker-jacks box. This film is billed as being filled with passion and being "explosive", according to one IMDb reviewer. I think dead people are more passionate and explosive! I don't know why this film is getting so many positive reviews, it's really not good at all. I'm only giving it 3 stars myself out of consideration for the family's desire to tell the story of their heritage (assuming it is all true, but I've found nothing on the history of Robert Adams anywhere else but in this film, so who knows how much of the movie is historically accurate).
Even if you're a civil war history buff, this film will likely barely hold your interest (if at all).
Sorry, Adams family. Nothing personal, I'm just calling it like I see it.

OK, first and foremost i like good "realistic" war films, secondly i like films even better if they are based on fact. This was both, and a bonus to both of those critical points is the lead role, who is a descendant of the "historical" character who is the main focus of the film. My wife enjoyed the film too, hard to find a film both of you can watch knowing there's going to be some bloodshed mixed in with a love story, but it works and it works well. Its hard to tell at times this is not a big budget film, but reading about it elsewhere you know its not and you can appreciate it even more. You can see there's a lot of personal effort gone into getting this film made. You see so many people on here saying "well thats 90 minutes of my life wasted" well this is just the opposite, i wish it had been longer, you get a great insight into some real peoples lives during the civil war, and the authentic backdrops and locations just add to its quality.
When I sat down to watch the 2005 movie "The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams" (aka "Strike the Tent"), I must admit that I was expecting a bit more of a war drama. Sure, I wasn't familiar with the story upon which the movie is based, so I didn't know what I was in for here. But I was expecting a tad more than what directors A. Blaine Miller and Julian Adams delivered here.
Sure, "The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams" was watchable, and it provided adequate enough entertaining for a single viewing. But this was hardly an outstanding or memorable movie set in the time period of the American Civil War.
The acting performances in the movie were actually good, but it was just a shame that the characters in the movie were a bit too bland and generic. They were simply lacking more spark and more dimensions for me, in order to feel like wholehearted and complete characters in the story.
I will say that the sets, props and atmosphere in "The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams" definitely felt like it took place during the American Civil War, and that was something that added to the overall enjoyment of the movie.
I am sure that this 2005 movie will provide adequate entertainment for viewers familiar with the story, or for viewers looking for a love story set within the American Civil War. However, I was expecting a bit more warfare and action, so I was somewhat disappointed with this movie.
My rating of "The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time.

Very well done, especially considering the budget. I liked the independent, realistic feel to it, vs manufactured or contrived Hollywoodism.
I read somewhere a reviewer saying that this was "revisionist history" wrt this movie's depiction of how the slave owners treated their slaves so nicely. Absolutely untrue... there really wasn't that much depiction of slave owners with slaves to begin with, and to see one white gentleman actually talk nicely to a few slaves was totally believable.
That same reviewer also said this movie was about "nostalgia" for the pre-war south. But I think it was more about southerners protecting their tradition, and then finally knowing when to surrender (hence the title "Strike the Tent"). Otoh, the extra featurette on the DVD about how the film was conceived did show that Julian's intention was to proudly depict his much beloved, land-owning family history.
The film depicts pre-war southern life favorably, yet doesn't demonize the north (much), even after it's clear that the south had lost the war and had to free their slaves. It was a good depiction of one side "protecting their own", but pretty much intentionally blind to the issue of slavery itself. An interesting "real life" depiction of real history--at least from a southern, white-man's point of view.

- ट्रिवियाThe music book being used by older Eveline, played by Tippi Hedren, at the opening of the movie was an actual music book owned and used by Eveline McCord Adams, played by Gwendolyn Edwards.
- गूफ़In the scene where Robert first sees Eveline the bodice of the dress has very thin, synthetic looking material (authentic materials are MUCH heavier) and it appears to be the middle of the day (off-shoulder gowns were not worn until evening/night by anyone of marrying age).
