how about the scene in Gone With the Wind when Scarlett is walking around the wounded soldiers trying to find a doctor for the pregnant Melanie Hamiton.   The camera slowly pulls further and further back revealing more and more dead and wounded Confederate soldiers,  until you see an uncountable number.   It finally reveals a badly tattered and torn Confederate flag and a sad mournful version of Dixie plays.   I don't think I've ever seen a more powerful depiction of a defeated army in any movie.    My words don't do the scene justice.   You have to watch it.
