Never Before Has Movie Touched Me So Deeply...

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2018)

As I write this, I may be going on the 10th time viewing Cold Mountain. I was watching another movie on Hulu/Showtime and it rolled over and it dodn't Have the heart to change it. This movie never gets old.., the characters so rich albeit beaten. To call it a war or romance movie - doesn't do it justice. It's a movie about humanity or more often the lack of it. It's about survival and redemption. The way all the smaller stories wind around the larger is brilliant. Some may think it's depressing and maybe they're right, but I think Cold Mountain presents life, and it's trial and tribulations. Sometimes we control what happens - most time we don't. If you haven't seen this beautiful movie - gorgeously acted - give it a chance with no preconceived notions. You will not be diappointed.
