Cold Mountain (2004, DVD)

Movie Description
Directed by Anthony Minghella (THE ENGLISH PATIENT), this Civil War saga addresses romance, friendship, and the ravages of war--both in the field and on the home front. Far more than a simple love story, Minghella's film captures the horrors of war for both those fighting it, and for those left behind. Based on the Charles Frazier novel, this is a tale of hope, longing, redemption, second chances, and faith.


Ada Monroe (Nicole Kidman) is a proper lady who accompanies her preacher father (Donald Sutherland) to Cold Mountain, North Carolina. She waits for her love, W.P. Inman (Jude Law)--a sensitive man with little use for many words--to return from war. In the process she learns basic survival skills and finds strength from no-nonsense Ruby (Renée Zellweger), a spitfire who can work the land as well as any man. Meanwhile, wounded Inman has had enough of war and killing, and is slowly working his way back to Ada despite the perils of being a Confederate deserter. Law and Kidman are genuinely touching as two virtual strangers who invest all of their faith in each other, and Zellweger is astounding as the uncultured but compassionate Ruby. Rounding out the cast is an impressive array of actors, including Brendan Gleeson, Ray Winstone, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Jack White (of the White Stripes), Kathy Baker, Giovanni Ribisi, and many others.

    Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellwegger are awesome in this movie.
    It definitely depicts the Hardships of the Civil War Era and the atrocities thereof.

    Loved this movie the 3rd time around, especially after reading the novel, which film follows closely. Jude Law, Renee Zellweger and Nicole Kidman were well cast as leads in the film. The setting was very distinct and the trials of the characters rich with detail. A bit on the dark side, but very powerful.

    This is an excellent "Beautiful" movie! It is a Love Story, set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and based on the Civil War Era. Nicole Kiddman is excellent in this movie. I bought it because I love this movie, and also to add to my "awesome" collection of DVD'S. But it!
