Beautiful film

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2015)

A romanticized civil war film with a fantastic cast and a heartfelt story. The length of the film might run a little long for some, but I enjoyed all of it. The scenery was stunning and it has turned out to be one of my most favorite films. I absolutely adore Renee Zellweger in this film and find it chillingly haunting. A sadly beautiful ending, this movie will stay with me for a very long time. The length of the film might run a little long for some, but I enjoyed all of it. Why was this not nominated for 2003 Best Picture? Obviously The Return of the King was superior than any other film during that year, but Cold Mountain is definitely a better film than both Master and Commander, and Seabiscuit, which were both Best Picture nominees. This truly is a great film. I recommend it!
