What can i say about Cold Mountain, everything about it is beautiful. It is wonderfully acted by the three leads as well as by it`s supporting players, Kathy Baker, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, et al.
The cinematography is beautiful, the story extremely well told. I consider this the equal of many grand romances, and war dramas that have gone before, especially about the Civil War. The opening battle sequence is nothing short of astonishing. If Gone With The Wind painted an idealistic picture of the Old South. Cold Mountain shows us how it probably was, warts and all. And it reverberates down through today.
