Wow this was really good

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2003)

Ok I wasn't sure about seeing this one in theatres. The reason being is because it is directed by the man who made The English Patient,a movie that seemed to be 8 hours but in actuality it was three and a half. But I am here to discuss Cold Mountain, so without further adieu I will move on. This was a excellent. Now I am partial to the smaller films this year like Lost in Translation I wasn't sure if I would like a major film line movie. But I had forgotten that big movies aren't bad and this movie was excellent. The first reason being is the performances. There wasn't a bad one in the film. Jude Law was very good in his performance as Inman. He really played the role very well and Tom Cruise would be absolutley horrible. Nicole Kidman was fantastic in another good role her third or fourth in a row. She really potrays Adas longing very well and has a very amusing scene with a chicken. Renee Zwelleger was very good very very good she deserves a oscar nomination and a oscar win. The supporting cast other than Renee were very good with
some fantastic performances including Natalie Portman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Jack White. Now the script was very good, the scenery was fantastic, and the costumes were very authentic. Now Minghella deserves at least to be nominated for his wonderful directing job. Now I was hoping other films would win the academey award for best picture but Cold Mountain deserves to win.
