Little bit long, and as such, took me a few viewings before I got the whole thing and understood how it all fit together. Which I think is a compliment to the creators, writers, director, and production crew.
I really think Jude Law might be an under-rated actor. Remember his character/acting in "Road to Perdition"? Really good.
Getting back to "Cold Mountain" - I really enjoyed how there were so many different characters in it and of course a great story line.

That was great - thanks for sharing. I watched the series but maybe not every episode. Jon Hamm of course is who really made the show go. I think this was his best role ever.
I don't know who the female narrator was in that clip but she reminded me of the Australian TCM hostess Alicia Malone, less the Aussie accent.
Watching that clip with her observations reminds one of how much work goes into development of these features.
Earlier tonight, I was watching "The Eagle Has Landed" and there's a part where Donald Sutherland's character is riding his moped in the woods and following Jenny Aguter's character as she rides her horse. I couldn't help but think to myself....what kind of creative mind comes up with this stuff? Right in the middle of this war picture they have this scene. Just fascinating......as well as mystifying....
