this be one of my personal favorite and a rare little gem that seem to be undiscovered by the general population . chris cooper and patricia clarkson form the heart of the piece in what be a well choose cast . few movie have ever capture the true hostility that undergird the civil war and but this one seem to capture all the right tone and mood . if youre a fan of the book and cold mountain and try this movie out and see if you do not think it make a good companion piece .
