 The film originally had a different ending that was in the  screenplay and shooting script. In it, following the Chamberlain  brothers embrace, Harrison stands on Seminary Ridge surveying the  destruction left from Picketts Charge and quotes a line from  Shakespeares play the Tempest: "We are such stuff as dreams are  made of. And our little life is rounded with the sleep." Harrison  then mounts his horse and rides off into the night. From there, the  final titles began. The scene was never filmed.
