Second time lucky

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2007)

This is actually a very decent film. It centers around the cold war and has a beautiful cast with Jude Law (could have been a bit better) Nicole Kidman (very well done) and Renee Zelweeger (best of the cast who gives 100% and deserved the Oscar). Jude Law portrays Inman. He is a laborer in Cold Mountain N.C. He soon meets the mayor's daughter played by Nicole Kidman. The obvious occurs and they fall in love but only do they share a kiss just as Inman is about to leave for war. Five years go past and neither forget each other but it is clear that they are beginning to lose hope. Then when everyone is on the verge of tears from this very emotional story, in comes Renee. The funny, somewhat retarded farmer who helps Nicole through managing her farm shortly after Nicole's dad dies. She loosens the tension a bit but creates some new chemistry with Nicole Kidman. Both are fine actresses and they did well together. The ending is climatic and the audience cannot hold back there tears.
