So on another note. My mother is wonderful. She works with this really funny great lady, and my mother noticed that she had the soundtrack from my all time favorite movie, Cold Mountain. So she asked to borrow it and I fell asleep to it last night and it was best sleep I have had in a while. Such an amazing movie. If you haven't seen it you need to. I have an edited copy of it. I can watch it over and over and over. It is so sad but so beautiful! Everything about it is brilliant and breathtaking. The music, the cinematography, the story, the acting. Listen to this line up, even big names are in the tiniest parts.... Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Renée Zellweger in lead roles as well as Natalie Portman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Melora Walters, Jena Malone, and Giovanni Ribisi, Lucas Black, Cillian Murphy, Donald Sutherland, Ethan Suplee, and Jack White from The White Stripes. All amazing.
There is one line that I love oh so very much. Inman is talking to the old goat lady Maddy, he says, "She gave me a book. Ada Monroe. Man by the name of Bartram. Wrote about his travels. Sometimes just reading the name of a place near home - Sorell Cove, Fire Scale Ridge - enough to break your heart. Thing is, I've been thinking - those places belonged to people before us, to the Indian - What did he call Cold Mountain? How can a name, not even the real name, break your heart? It's her...She's the place I'm heading. And I hardly know her. I hardly know her!"
If this movie doesn't make you cry, I am pretty sure you are heartless.
