On Monday, the trailer for Matthew McConaughey's new Civil War drama released, about a former Confederate soldier who lead a rebellion against his previous army
Inspired by a true story, the film follows Matthew as Newton Night, a former Confederated soldier and poor farmer who ultimately gathers together a band of women, slaves and the like against his previous army.
During the trailer's beginning, Matthew is seen speaking to a group of his own, stressing that are losing their lives while others are continuing to live comfortably and rich.
A woman named Mary (Kerry Cahill) stressed to Matthew that tax collectors have taken everything they have, leaving the empty for the upcoming winter.

Gathering the women: 'Girls, you know how to shoot one of these?' he asks Mary's three young daughters
Shots fired: A Confederate soldier mocked his army of women, to which he replied, 'Last time I checked the gun don't care who's pulling the trigger'
'Girls, you know how to shoot one of these?' he asks Mary's three young daughters.
After he's seen assisting them as they handle a gun, the scene transitions to a Confederate military personal approaching the group.
'That's quite an army you got there,' he said, mockingly.
'Last time I checked the gun don't care who's pulling the trigger,' Matthew pointed out.

Loved the trailer. Full of action though my favorite shot was Gugu with Matthew and their baby. So sweet. Can't wait for this one.
