Response to a ton of emails regarding my "review" of Cold Mountain as a Hollywood Left agitprop piece of Democratic Party bullshit. Ask yourself one question: would this picture have been made about a Northern Army deserter? No way Jose. That is because some wars are just wars according to the Left and the Northern cause was "just". If you oppose a war that the Left considers "unjust" then you are a hero for leaving your friends to die while you run away. That's it. And Nicole Kidman? She is shitty in this particular role, not shitty as an actress. Every performer can be mis-cast. In re-reading my observations I confess to bad writing regarding her ability.
