60 of 109 · most liked firstMy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of COLD MOUNTAIN boxd.it/grJ8qH Sweeping Civil War epic of survival & perseverance. Incisive anti-war commentary mixes with palpable romantic yearning to create brutal, emotional journey. Gorgeously shot, ambitious, morally complex, with cast that wows! Gut-wrenching. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching COLD MOUNTAIN (2003). Director: Anthony Minghella. Jude Law, Nicole Kidman. Fine adaptation of Charles Frazier's great novel about Civil War soldier trying to make it home. Yes, Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger goes big...but Law & young Natalie Portman stand out! Rewatch. #filmsky 📽

They call this war a cloud over the land, but they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say, 'Shit, it's raining!'" The Trump administration makes the weather. #Iran #RemoveTrump

positive · AI labelView post →I just watched a beautiful but haunting film, “Return to Cold Mountain”. One civil war was enough for my Country. There is a man, & his hateful minions, who have done everything they can to divide US and bring us to the brink of another sciagura! There is a woman who can stop it! flip.it/InxnmR

neutral · AI labelView post →a film that takes place where you’re from: as close as I’m gonna get is that a pivotal part (the Battle of the Crater) of COLD MOUNTAIN (2003) was nearby but I can’t stress enough that they filmed that part in Romania and it is a *terrible* stand-in, location-wise, for Petersburg, Virginia
neutral · AI labelView post →My brother was watching the movie Cold Mountain at the same time that he was reading Code of the Woosters. 45 minutes into the movie, he realized that Jude Law's character was going to die, and the rest of the movie was just leading up to that point. By brother realized that he cared more about ...
neutral · AI labelView post →Cold Mountain is low key one of the best civil war movies. It starts out glorifying the confederates some but deconstructs that as the movie goes on and they become the main villains.
positive · AI labelView post →Book 2 of 2026 is this classic, Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier—another book I’ve had on my shelves for almost 20 years! I’ve seen the movie, but it’s time to enjoy this incredible prose! 😊 I’m halfway through and can honestly say I’ve never read writing quite like it. Stunning! #BookSky📚
neutral · AI labelView post →Cold Mountain - dir. Anthony Minghella (2003). Excellent cast, beautiful photography and OST, make a basic love story a delight to this sap’s eyes. It won a few awards at the time and is on Prime video for the next few days. Might watch The English Patient now
positive · AI labelView post →Check out - www.sacredharp.uk - there are groups in the UK too (and it was in the soundtrack to the film Cold Mountain)

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't been to the (American) South proper, but maybe it's because I finished reading "Cold Mountain" and am now watching the movie that, when I stepped foot outside into the cool morning, I muttered in some terrible Southern drawl, "Tha' a righ' fall chill ou' 'ere."

neutral · AI labelView post →Unpopular opinion perhaps but COLD MOUNTAIN counts as a horror movie (a period drama set in the civil war featuring women trying to SURVIVE) and I will celebrate it as such on my 50th rewatch. Also highly recommend the book it's BEAUTIFUL
positive · AI labelView post →We had a friend who was a set dresser. He bought a bunch of junk like a nearly dead water heater. A lot was disposed of post prod so we have lovely curtains f/ Cold Mountain & side chests from a Navy movie & all our kids & nibs got to ride the Keanu Reeves memorial bike til it finally bit the dust.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Cold Mountain last Night. Questionable accents aside, I thought it was a decent film with a pretty much all-star cast. But why did nobody tell me it would break my little heart
neutral · AI labelView post →1: “Cold Mountain,” Civil War soldier Jude Law deserts the army to journey back to Nicole Kidman, the girl he left behind. A movie centered on that would have been great, but the film (based on an unread book, so maybe this was unavoidable) gets bogged down with too many subplots along the way

neutral · AI labelView post →On some level, it's tough to tell a morally complex story well in a 3-hour movie. But it's possible. Cold Mountain does it pretty well, for instance. There were atrocities. People should understand that. But the British weren't as evil, and the Rebels weren't as virtuous, as the film says.
neutral · AI labelView post →(why does this remind me of "Cold Mountain," the movie, not the book that I never read - whose main thesis seemed to be that slavery was bad because white people didn't learn to take care of themselves?)
neutral · AI labelView post →Bram Stoker's Dracula- Tom Waits is Renfield. He's in Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law, too. Henry Rollins plays a cop in the 1994 movie The Chase. Jack White plays a traveling musician in Cold Mountain, & the story goes the director made his role bigger because he acted and fit the story so well.
neutral · AI labelView post →Quote this with a performance that stole a film: Renee Zellweger, Cold Mountain
neutral · AI labelView post →The soundtrack to Cold Mountain is more memorable than the movie lmao
negative · AI labelView post →I will yes AND this sentiment by noting that he was also excellent in Cold Mountain. (You know the Civil War movie set in North Carolina but filmed in Romania and starring a Brit as a Confederate deserter).
positive · AI labelView post →Drop a movie that you flat out refuse to watch again. Cold Mountain. Was almost one of my favorite movies ever and then the last ten mins happened and I'll never watch it again.
negative · AI labelView post →watching new season of White Lotus and those NC accents!!! Parker Posey sounds like a Christopher Guest movie character and Jason Isaacs is giving Cold Mountain
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't believe I tried to cheer myself up after watching 2/3 of a long dark movie (Cold Mountain) by watching Mrs. Doubtfire. How wrong could I be
negative · AI labelView post →That is a great idea! In the early 2000's, PEN, I believe it was, offered a series of movie screenings (based on books by members) I went to see Cold Mountain (movie screening, followed by a panel and discussion), The Orchid Thief was another book/movie they offered.

neutral · AI labelView post →I had forgotten Cillian Murphy was in “Cold Mountain“. That‘s the movie update for Thursday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not so sure about Train Dreams. Pretty movie. Love Felicity and William H. Macy. Tree of Life meets Cold Mountain vibes. But the first half felt like trad wife porn and if we’re doing grief movies with trees and ferns and men going away too long for work, the ending of Hamnet hits harder.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cold Mountain. Went with a friend and because we don’t talk during the film, it wasn’t until the end we realised we both hated it and could have left after half an hour and gone to do something more fun instead. Fuming at our own politeness and manners.
negative · AI labelView post →It's how I felt about Cold Mountain. Trailers showed lots of gunfire, explosions, general civil war combat. Go see the movie. All of that was in first 5 mins. Rest of it was a slow, plodding drama fest of boredom. Left halfway through.

neutral · AI labelView post →Agreed (yes, that was hard for me to say). Ever since the 2004 awards that left great, relevant-to-the-story songs from Triplets of Belleville, A Mighty Wind (heart of that movie) and Cold Mountain for the credit scroll tune of Return Of The King, it’s been obvious they ditched the rubric.
