Inman & Ada in the midst of a civil war-perfect setting!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2006)

After watching this film, i can safely say that my eyes have been opened up to issues that i never new were so tragically immense. The characters of Inman and Ada played well towards fated lovers and the scene in which he died in her arms moved me so greatly that i have begun to read the book which is supposed to be more detailed. I don't think i realised the issues attached with the war until i saw this film and have now become fascinated...the film is actually based on the book by Charles Frazier who based the book on true events and tales of W.P Inman himself. Yes, there was a man named Inman who fought in the civil war but however fled to get home to the woman he loved....
