      2 people's rural life

      Ada lives alone on a large farm after her lover's father's death in the war. The idyllic desolate country has no food and relies on selling and other people to help her to live. Sitting alone in the desolate front desk, even a big cock can bully her.
      Ruby inserted herself into her life involuntarily, crushed the head of the rooster with one hand, and then began to arrange various tasks without any hesitation, which were all basic tasks: cutting grass in the fields, going to buy seeds and...

      you're the place i headed

      "You're the place i headed."
           As Inman said, the belief that kept him on the road was just because of Ada in front of him. Through thousands of mountains, through thousands of waters, through all the hardships and hardships, I just want to go home, for you.
          
         Cold Mountain, the movie is just like its name, pressing down on my heart like a black mountain, so cold and desolate. The ruthlessness of war, life is so fragile and powerless in front of it. In the movie, you...

      A light story, a light wound

      I was lucky enough to watch this film when it was almost 6 years after its release. It can be a sin for fans of fake movies.
         After watching this film, I was troubled by a faint thought. Perhaps war and love are always pursued and never tire of topics. For me, there are always some extravagances - it turns out that war is so cruel, and love makes people's beliefs so firm. Jude Law has the heaviest role in the play, but his performance looks so natural and complements the plot of the...

      cold mountain

      "Cold Mountain" is also a war movie, but it is far less shocking than "Flying Taiji Flag"! In "Cold" I saw the sea of ​​blood, in "Too" I saw the intestines... The theme of "Cold" is love, and the theme of "Too" is family affection
       
      . "Cold Mountain" is actually not ugly, war is cruel, So war movies are also cruel, their love is also very high-end, Nicole even "I do not know you", she fell in love with that man, so wait, wait, wait, finally get together, but parting, the real tragedy!...

      I ate 9 steamed buns before watching it, ate a pancake and drank two cans of soda after watching it, and the two scenes of Ruby's father's "death" and Inman's return saw tears flowing. What does this have to do with movies, they are just high-quality blockbusters that lie to...

      Still can't appreciate war movies, just watch a few leading actors. The female protagonist finally waited until the male protagonist returned, but unfortunately the two were separated by life and death when they got together, hey....

The crew reproduced the Battle of Crete that took place on July 30, 1864. A total of 6,300 people on both sides of the war were killed in the war, among which the Northern Army was injured.
    The death was particularly disastrous. The scene of this battle took 3 weeks to complete, and is one...

    Evaluation action

    The magnificent scenes and visual impact of the film are absolutely at the level of Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

    Movie quotes

    • [Ruby has just walked in on Inman and Ada talking by the campfire]

      Ruby: Number one - shut this door, it's freezing. Number two - shut that door, it's freezing. I'm laying on my back, with my fingers poked in my ears trying to shut out who's got a bag of diamonds and who's carrying a tray. If you want to get three feet up a bull's ass, listen to what sweethearts whisper to each other. Now, if you're going to wimble wimble all night, I'm going to sleep in with him.

      [she stomps into her father's hut]

    • [last lines]

      Ada: [voiceover] I looked once more down Sally's well, and this time there was nothin' there to haunt me. Just clouds. Clouds, and then... sun.

    • [Stobrod and Pangle finish playing a song]
