I have just come from seeing the movie, "Cold Mountain". What a fabulous movie.
The shape note singers are from my area.The movie didn't get great reviews but it was excellent!
I was moved and I will think about the movie for a while.
I just got the book and will be reading it soon.War, what is it good for.....absolutely nothing!

I really liked the movie, too. I didn't realize it had gotten bad reviews....I liked it better than the book, but the guy I went with was bored out of his mind. Maybe it's just for romantics.....

I enjoyed it very much (due to Mr. Law of course), but I just couldn't buy the supposed love story. That ruined it for me a little bit.

The problem is that when you read a book you actually "know" the characters. You know their minds, their thoughts, everything about them. That is so very hard to bring about on screen. One of my very favorite books "the confederacy of dunces" is being made into a movie, with Will Ferell (I don't even know if I spelled his name right, I can't stand him...). I almost don't want to see the film because I'm afraid of what they'll do to it. But, why don't you try seeing the movie first, if that's possible. If not, just try to take it for what it is. A different perspective. A different point of view from a different artist. It is the same story being told in a different way. I know it is hard sometimes. Sort of like when you hear a song being covered, by a different artist and you hate it! But, it is just a different perspective. An artist's different version of the story.

<<Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but back then they really did hold onto the emotions for one another through such absenses. I can relate to it myself, in quite a dysfunctional way. The love story was very similar to one by an Australian writer, Patrick White, called "Voss"
I loved that book, but it's not for realists. There's all kinds of symbolic stuff like conception of a baby even though the woman and man were thousands of miles apart. :-)Susan
