There is one interesting relationship in the film, and it is between Moore and young Joe Galloway (Barry Pepper), a journalist who hitches a ride into the battle site on the second day and records it all. Need we say that he is also the co-author of Moore's autobiography. In the film he tells Moore a wonderful story. Moore has asked him why he's a journalist and not a soldier. Galloway says that he comes from a long line of soldiers, including two great-grandfathers, who each lost a leg fighting on opposite sides in the Civil War. One lost his right leg and the other the left. They met by accident, after the war, in a shoe store in Galveston, Texas, and then by design met each year afterward, in the shoe store, to buy a pair of shoes and take home one shoe each.
