If it makes you feel better Mistwell, I'm really rooting against Cold Mountain. The English Patient (by the same guy) was a steaming pile of overhyped crap. Sure, it was a decent story, but not nearly Oscar material.

I think your father's reaction is the interesting one. All of the Vietnam vets I've ever talked to about the movie say it was the first movie to get the experience right. When the movie came out, I interviewed several vets who had seen the movie for a newspaper story. We have a large VA hospital here in town. Everyone I talked to said it was very realistic, and put them right there "back in the s***," as they called it.

I think it was more the individual characters in the film and the rampant drug use that he didn't care for. While it may have been a very common thing over there, it wasn't something that he personally put up with as a platoon leader himself. He was bent on surviving the experience and getting back home in one piece and wouldn't put up with anyone endangering him or the rest of his men.

Frankly, I don't remember that song at all.

Were you one of those folks that left when the One Ring was destroyed? Or when Aragorn was crowned king? Or when the hobbits made it back to the Shire? Or when Gandalf, the Elves, and the Bagginses sailed off to the Gray Havens? If so, then you missed it.
It played over the credits.

Heh, I usually never stay for the credits, no wonder I missed it.

And was it just me or did the score for RotK sound much weaker that FotR and tTT? I remember being wowed a bunch of times by the soundtrack in them ,but I don't remember that happening in RotK.

Return of the King Best Golden Globe drama, its about time. I did think they should have had a little more time for PJ and company to give they're thanks.
Take that, Cold Mountin.

Sweet! Who won for best actress? I hope it was Therron. But if not, there are others worthy of contention.
