Cold Mountain
2003 · TMDB 6.9
Directed by Anthony Minghella
In this classic story of love and devotion set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, a wounded Confederate soldier named W.P. Inman deserts his unit and travels across the South, aiming to return to his young wife, Ada, who he left behind to tend their farm. As Inman makes his perilous journey home, Ada struggles to keep their home intact with the assistance of Ruby, a mysterious drifter sent to help her by a kindly neighbor.
Why it matters
In the wake of the American Civil War, Inman deserted his post to walk hundreds of miles back to his beloved Ada. It captures the sheer exhaustion of the late-stage journey, where every mile is a battle against corrupt home-guard forces and starvation.
