realistic set, the character modeling. Just like China in the 1920s and 1930s, the Civil War period was also a rather mysterious and desirable time in American history.
Big-name actors take turns: from Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson, Robin Wright, to James McAvoy, Evan Rachel Wood and the lovely Alexis Bledel.
The subject matter can actually be better explored, but unfortunately the script is a bit weak. From the point of view of the story alone, it is still quite catchy, but some of the dialogues are a bit old-fashioned and quite contrived.
Another film that made me have an archaeological impulse.
It was directed by Robert Redford. In fact, this is not a film with a lot of room for actors to play.
