if someone had told me that the screenplay for cold mountain was adapted by anthony minghella (english patient), i would have skipped the movie. sadly, nobody did. so i suffered through a confusing opening, an intriguing middle, and then a terrible last act that just defies all rationality. if ever someone shouldn't have died at the end of a movie, it was jude law in cold mountain. and i normally love it when the hero dies.on the other hand, it was fun to see which b-plus actor showed up around each corner. i had no clue this movie contained so many familiar faces. there were a good half-dozen "hey, it's [insert full name]!" moments.
