Some movies deal with trite material in a fresh and innovative way. Other movies deal with fresh and innovative material in a trite and boring way. Cold Mountain manages to deal with trite material in a completely trite and uninteresting way. I can't recall a movie so monumentally slow and excruciating since Titanic. The characters are either uninteresting or sadly undeveloped, the plot is disjointed between flashbacks, and the basic scory has been told and retold countless times. I am to this day completely puzzled by the fact that this movie actually made it to the Oscar nominations. 2/5.
