I get it....no, I don't get it....

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2003)

I am just gonna write something short.
I went to see this movie b/c I like the civil war history and I like the English Patient.
I hate to generalize stuff, but I recognize this movie as a classic epic-wannabe-movie, but I couldn't get into the movie like I did with the English Patient. Jude seems to fair okay in the movie, but Nicole seems to be so out of place in the movie. I liked the first half of the movie, but I couldn't follow all the little episodic stories that Inman had to go thru in the movie. Does the movie do a justice to the book? I didn't read the book so I can't comment on that, but it just seems so odd. There are some great human stories going on, but they don't seem to tie into the movie. In any case, I am not even sure I can recommend this movie to anyone. I give 5 out 10.
