The magnificent scenes and visual impact of the film are absolutely at the level of Hollywood commercial blockbusters. It is not difficult to see from the film that the magnificent explosion scenes, the limbs of the bombers are flying all over the sky; the overwhelming army swarms up into a huge crater like a simmering pot; meteorites The tragic war situation in which the troops of both sides met hand in hand made people have to admit that this is a commercial blockbuster with Hollywood characteristics. The heart-wrenching and beautiful love, the love story of the hero and heroine in the film is definitely not inferior to "Titanic", the kind of steadfast emotion is very similar to the way of expressing feelings in the East, so that everyone understands that love is worth a lot of energy to manage, and it is worth a lot of effort. Time to look forward to, only to exchange life for the few beautiful things left in the world. Fourth, the beautiful soundtrack. It is difficult for a film to use music to attract the audience, but "Cold Mountain" did it. You can experience the essence of the film from the music of "Cold Mountain", with a little music. Cellular people will feel: strong, holy, tragic, and majestic.
Leaving aside the grand themes of survival and death, destiny and choice, hope and loss, courage and fear, the ingenious and touching story is quite fascinating. The film is a two-line narrative structure of "two flowers blooming, each showing one branch". How can such an extremely sensational plot and incomplete tragic beauty not let us ordinary people sigh with emotion and become infected? Of course, there are also the sad or soft country folk songs, the magnificent or beautiful exquisite pictures, the breathtaking and thought-provoking lines, and the powerful lineup of stars behind the scenes. "Cold Mountain" may not be a classic, but it is indeed a rare commercial masterpiece full of sincerity.
"Cold Mountain" is an ambitious film. The solemn and abstract themes of glory, responsibility, and loyalty relied on the flying shrapnel and the life-like dialogue of the characters to restore the turbulent 19th-century genre paintings of North America. "Cold Mountain" can be called a wonderful blend of the epic "Odyssey" and "Gone with the Wind". However, judging from the structure of the movie itself, the plot seems a bit messy. The two main lines in the film were originally connected by flashback shots of the process of meeting and falling in love between the hero and the heroine, and the lovesickness shots of the two men facing each other in the distance; but for most of the film, the two lines are separate Chapter, lack of contact. Therefore, this two-and-a-half-hour movie is somewhat procrastinated. When the director is enamored with expressing the poetic language of the original work with a cold lens, it seems that there is less emotional touch like "Gone with the Wind".
"Cold Mountain" is a movie that cannot be missed. The eight nominations for the Golden Globes cannot explain anything. The love that humans never give up in the film is the reason why we really need this movie. And Anthony Minghella once again proved that the migration and change of the mind, the eternal fine line in the emotion, is the totem that the epic needs eternal worship in the so-called troubled times. Perhaps when we understand this, we can know why "The Last Samurai" is not a good movie, but "Cold Mountain" can leave an unforgettable lingering sound in the soul, which will not disappear for a long time.
