But speaking of being emotionally involved in a movie, I was exhausted by the end of "Cold Mountain." Jaysus.

I enjoyed "Cold Mountain" very much, until the end, when they finally see each other, and they get it on, and even though they've been through hell apart, they're all, you know, clean and pretty and smooth. Hollywood is so perverse... I kept thinking of the scene in "The Crucible" when Joan Allen's character meets up with Daniel Day Lewis's character in prison, and his teeth are all grody because he hasn't been given an opportunity to clean himself (thanks to D. D. L.'s attention to detail) and Joan Allen kisses him passionately (well, pilgrim-passionately) and at first I felt kind of disgusted - and then I thought, "She *LOVES* him!!!* It really underlined the love they had for each other. Pretty unforgettable.
