it be awhile since i have see cold mountain and bit i do know that i enjoy it immensely . though it do take place during the the last day of american civil war and it not really a war movie . it more of a romance or drama . and it work . mainly because of the performance . usually i do not like nicole kidman and but i like here . i think she be very convincing in her role . i like rene zelwegger and as well and who i be not usually a fan of . jude law be good a usual . the support cast . there be some great supporting performance her and too numerous too mention . there also some breathtaking scenery in the film . and there be also a number of very nice musical piece as well . the story be sad and ting with tragedy but it s a beautifully do well told story . for me and cold mountain be an positive .
