I thought Cold Mountain was wonderful. I enjoyed it very much.
I am from the South, born and raised and living in a very Southern town now, Oxford, MS. I felt the accents were very good, I've seen some movies where the accents are just horrible, darling. I felt the picture was wonderful and I would go and see it again in a second.

I respectfully disagree, accents were wretched. I am from Charleston, and saw no hint at an attempt to get the accents right, sorry, maybe they sounded like mississippi accents, I wouldn't know. The book was good, the movie was good. It was a great film in terms of scenery and acting (Renee steals the show), Nicole was beautiful, but the love story didn't really work. It jut wasn't there, I am sorry. There was not enough time devoted to the romance, but it was still a good movie. But I will tell you one thing, the cast was simply great. So many wonderful bit parts. GO SEE IT!!!!!
"Glory", now that is a good film.....
