Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier
Has anyone ever read it before? I'm being forced to read it for school right now, I have about 100 pages to finish by Monday, and I just can't seem to get through them. At least that's in large print. If you've read it... or even if you have only seen the movie, then please help me get through it, I just can't will myself to pick it up and finish it... but if I don't then I fell English class. Plus, if I finish it, then my teacher will take me and whoever else finishes it and passes the test to see the movie, and so I'll get to scip some class.

I saw the movie a few days ago... Very very good, though i figure in a book it'd be a tad boring... If there's anyway I can help I'd be more than happy to, lol.

Well *sigh* I finished it, not willingly, but I did, and just in time for a test on Monday!

I have a question, for all of you who have seen the movie. I know that this is in the book forom, and it did start out as a discussion thread for the books (admins-please forgive me), but now since I have read it, and should have passed the test and have permission to see the movie, I want to know if I should. I have heard revews about sexual content (is this apropreat for the 'moot?) and I was wondering, breifly without detals, if you could tell me if it is alot, a little, to much for a 14 year old, something that I should see, or if I should skip the movie all together. Tell me what you think- I'm a Christian, so I want to be catios.
(Admins- if you find this in any way inapropreat for the moot, then please edit my post)

Well, I'm on the verge of 15, and when I went to see it with my aunts and cousin... well, I didn't feel very comfortable watching those certain parts. Lots of nudity, really. And as my cousin stated, "You get to see a lot more of Nicole Kidman than you bargained for." ::shrugs:: For me, it was a bit too much, but I don't go to church regularly... not that it has anything to do with it, I just figure I think a bit different than people that do, who knows. So I suppose it's up to you. But be warned: When people say there's a lot of sexual content in that movie, they are NOT lying. o.o

*sigh* well, I was convinced by a Christian friend not to see it . Guess I'll be spending class next monday with a lot of little kids, while the other people that passed the test go to the theater. I just wish that I could do something else instead of sit in with a lot of little kids *trys not to cry*. I just don't want to fill punished for what I think is morally right to do. And I got the test back today, my teacher said that I did really good, in front of the whole class, that mine was really really good, and that came from the teacher that dosn't really like me. Oh well, my mom said that it was my chouse, and that she would sighn the permission form for me to go, and I have made my chouse. I hope it's worth it. Why is doing what is morally right for a 14 year-old so hard?

Wow, you have a lot of dedication to your beliefs! TO not go to a movie with the class? I figured you were just considering renting it or something (oh..yeah i guess it must be new... shows how much I pay attention ). Well, anyway, just follow your heart. Don't do anything you'll regret. Ask yourself, "how will I feel about this in the future?".

I wasn't a big Cold Mountain fan myself. I thought it was really slow and I didn't like the characters much (Ruby was okay). But I just thought it was sort of...melodramatic. Oh well. Katie |
