Brother against women and old people...

Watched "Cold Mountain" by Anthony Minghella on Tuesday. Much better than I thought it would be. I'm not a big fan of war movies [despite the fact that I've seen three of them in as many days recently] but this truly deals with the horrors of war and violence and troubled times, as well as some small triumphs because of hardship. And not in a cheesy way either. If you can stomach the gore, I would suggest this movie.

Never, never apologize for having a different opinion... As long as you have reasons for what you think, you have the right to differ with people. If no one had different ideas, there would be no reason to discuss and find better ideas.

See, I never really cared for the characters or the plot in this movie. I did however like the message it conveyed. War sucks. But, in particular, war is not simple and it has many more consequences than anyone can foresee. Some good, but most bad. That's what the movie said to me.
