Awesome and Educational at the same time

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2006)

I loved this movie. First of all, Nicole Kidman was, awesome. She got the part down perfect. innocent yet somehow mysterious. Then there's Renee Zellweger. Number one, shes my favorite actress ever. Number two, Ruby Thewes is such a strong character. She is so supportive. And Number three, rock on Renee. I hope they make more movies like this in the future. You know before i watched this movie, had no idea about anything on the Civil War. Didn't know what treason, or the pain and agony that everyone went through. So i would just like to say that i got an educational and exiting lesson on history. There is so much drama and excitement in this movie. Also, the romance and tragedy blended to where it was depressing and joyous at the same time.
