Title: Cold-hearted critics
Product review: I cannot understand the criticism for this movie. Many have said the love relationship between Ada and Inman was too shallow. I disagree. In a time when cruel war has torn up the countryside, when neither of them has anything or anyone to live for, when the only hope lies in the beauty of Cold Mountain and in the purity of love, why doesn't their passion make sense?Despite the horror and ugliness of the Civil War..historically this was a highly romantic era. I can fully accept that a lonely spinster and poetic young man would be drawn to each other. People have married for less...much less.Many times films and books that later become classics are initally scorned by shortsighted people. I think this film will be a classic..it is that good. Poetry is often misunderstood. This film and the story is in the end poetry... beautiful and profound.
