The Obvious...

Big Daddy axes: Oh, what did everyone here think of the movie Cold Mountain?

Well I'm sure this particular answer is gonna shock everyone...

If I had my way... I'd very much like to find the sorry director of that trash and cut an 8-inch slit in his belly... with a rusty and mostly dull blade... then I'd get a great deal of satifaction by pulling out his small intestine.. wrapping around his kneck and choking him to death with it.

There are numerous.. horrific and unforgivable examples of Hollywood stupidity there. The rampant departures from the novel are the most infuriating. The wench wife... which no one could force themselves to tolerate...

I'm supposed to believe that the main character is going to leave his buddy's to go home to that worthless, bitchy little strumpet? Not bloody likely. I'll take war over that anyday.

Who could forget the most egresiously stupid line in movie history... "Charleston was built on slaves and skirts." Ah yes... here we're supposed to admire the feminist who sees a paralell between the oppression of women and slavery...

Isn't that special.

Never mind that neither has any relevance to the city of Charleston.

I simply have no patience for Hollywood's habit of re-writing novels in movie form. No doubt this is related to the fact that they pick out good novels... then market the movies as faithful to them... when actually they've totally raped the story and characters... warping them to fit their own sickening leftist worldview.

You do realize that in the book he wasn't a deserter right?
