COLD MOUNTAIN





This is the second civil war movies that I had a greate chance to watch it. The story happened in the period of of the American Civil War. There were three main character in this story. The soldier name Inman, his girlfriend name Ada and Ada's laborer name Ruby;she became Ada'friend. Inman and Ada lived in North Carolina . They loved together but Inman must joined the military of America. He must far away from his honey.Ada was still waiting for him. The time pass year to year but there was not have the any news from Inman. The war situation became serious more and more. Inman got hurt from the attrack of Yankee. During he rested,he got the letter from Ada. She requested him to cameback home or cold mountain because she stayed at home alone,her father died and she could not take care anything in her home such as farm,pet or slave.

After he read her letter he decided to escape from the military camp. He was able to run away but during the way ,he met with many dangerous people such as the soldier who tried to catch them back to the camp. Fortunatly,some people helped him such as the widow who gave the resident to him, the old woman who cure him. In the side of Ada. after her father died,she hopeless in her life,no money,no friend. But after she met Ruby who apply for gardener. she teach Ada everything ,it made her to became strong woman. In during war,no young man in the village,there had only woman and old men. it make the bad officer who had more power tried to bull them. Everyone in the village must stay away from them for protect themselves.

Finally, the time that Ada always waiting for were coming. She met Inman. They planed to get marriage. But they could not happy ending because the bad officer killed him and all of them died. After waiting for along time they stayed together only one night,Inman back to died at his home COLD MOUNTAIN in his wife hug,Ada. At the end of the story Ada lived with her son and Ruby but she never forgot her husband.

After watching this movie one thing that i get from this movie is the painful from the war. The soldier must saw their friends died in the war,the parent must lose their children in the war,eventhough the women that keep waiting their husnband. Everyone wanted to stay with peace, no one want to fight. Every soldiers wanted to back home at lease just came back to die on their home

Good summary. This is a great and sad story about being a soldier. Being alone when your loved one leaves for war is bad.

The part of the movie when the yankees blew up the southern post was really true. I saw where it happened and there was a huge hole still there. Interesting event with a lot of people dying.

Spend some more time on the characteristics of Americans you saw in these movies.

You are doing fine.
