Jude Law and Nicole Kidman play two people living in Cold Mountain who fall in love. Just as they declare their love, the Civil War breaks out and Inman has to go and fight. Eventually he deserts and returns to Ada, a long journey on which he meets a whole variety of people, and gets almost killed numerous times.

Ruby: This world won't stand long. God won't let it stand this way long.
Trivia: Natalie Portman, who plays Sara, originally auditioned for the part of Ada.
Question: What does Ada say to her daughter at the table at the end of the film?
Answer: I don't know the exact words, but she says something like, "No one told you to eat yet, Miss Inman." This was probably just to let the audience know for sure that she was Inman's daughter from their one night together.
Answer: I hear "Grace Inman, nobody said you could eat."
