Cold mountain


So I decide to make regular movie reviews and Cold mountain is the first that blinks across , may be because I remember this movie sustained an incredibly good feeling till the end .The only time I saw this movie was on 2007 December.The story , I will not include in any of the reviews.But it is based on Charles Frazier's novel 'On cold mountain'(1997).

The movie was released on 2003.Direction and screenplay by Anthony Minghella.Starring Jude Law(W.P Inman),Nicole Kidman(Ada Monroe) and Renee Zelwegger(Ruby Thewes).The story shifts back and forth between Inman , who is tired of fighting for The American Civil War,a cause he never beleived in,and looks forward to travelling back to his home in Cold mountain and Ada Monroe who is brought up in the urban,but is relocated to the cold mountain by her father before the onset of the War.


The movie was nominated for 7 academy awards(2004) which includes :

  • Best supporting actress(Renee Zelwegger)
  • Best leading actor
  • Best cinematography
  • Best editing
  • best music,original song(Sting - You will be my Ain true love)
  • Best music,original song(T-Bone Burnette , Elvis Costello - Scarlett tide)

Renee Zelwegger was given the Oscar for best supporting actress.The visuals , scenery are catchy.







And like all good movies,this one goes without mention that it will stay.A beautiful tale.
