In the tradition of the Newmarket Moviebooks on Chicago, Frida and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon—the fascinating, full-color companion of the new film from the director of The English Patient and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Coming from Miramax Films in December 2003, Cold Mountain stars Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Anthony Minghella who also wrote the screenplay, Cold Mountain is based on Charles Frazier's best-selling Civil War novel of the same name and tells the story of Inman (Law), a wounded confederate soldier who is on a perilous journey home to his mountain community, hoping to reunite with his pre-war sweetheart, Ada (Kidman). In his absence, Ada struggles to survive, and revive her father's farm with the help of intrepid young drifter Ruby (Zellweger).

The Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook is annotated with illustrations, movie stills, production design sketches keyed to the screenplay, costume designs, sidebars, and commentary from the cast and crew.

This book did have its moments.

There were certain parts that managed to capture my attention and hold it for a while.

However, overall, it was just too gruesome and depressing for my taste.

The vivid descriptions of violence and the dark themes that pervaded the story made it a difficult read for me.

I found myself constantly cringing and feeling a sense of unease as I turned the pages.

While I understand that some people may enjoy this type of intense and gritty literature, it simply wasn't for me.

I prefer books that offer a more uplifting and positive message, or at least ones that don't leave me feeling so drained and despondent after finishing them.

Perhaps if the author had toned down the gruesomeness and balanced it with some lighter moments or glimmers of hope, I might have had a more favorable opinion of the book.

As it stands, however, it will not be one that I would recommend to others.

I have a deep passion for reading screenplays.

It is truly a fascinating experience to delve into the written words that bring a movie to life.

The detailed descriptions, the dialogues, and the overall structure of the screenplay offer a unique perspective that goes beyond what we see on the big screen.

I often find myself imagining the scenes playing out in my mind as I read, visualizing the characters and their emotions.

It's like having a behind-the-scenes pass to the making of a movie.

I truly wish that screenplays were available for all movies.

It would allow movie lovers like me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art of filmmaking.

We could analyze the story development, the character arcs, and the creative decisions made by the screenwriter.

Additionally, it would provide a source of inspiration for aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers.

Reading screenplays is not only a form of entertainment but also a valuable learning tool.

I hope that one day, all movies will have their corresponding screenplays published, making this wonderful resource accessible to everyone.

A disaster has struck!

To my great dismay, very little of my text made it through.

It's as if some unseen force has intervened and snatched away the majority of my hard work.

I had spent so much time and effort crafting those words, carefully choosing each one to convey my thoughts and ideas precisely.

Now, it feels like all that work has been for naught.

I'm left with only a fraction of what I started with, and it's difficult to know where to go from here.

Perhaps I'll have to start over from scratch, or try to piece together what remains and build something new.

Either way, this is a setback that I'll have to overcome, and I'm determined to do so.

No matter how challenging it may be, I'll find a way to make my text shine once again.
