Cold Mountain (2003)

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, after Jude Law has been shot, he is lying on his back with Nicole Kidman leaning over his face. In the shot looking up at Kidman past Law's left ear, you can see the webbing for Law's wig on his left temple.

Factual error: In the scene where Inman is helping build the church he is handed modern pre-cut lumber. This product was not introduced until the middle of the 20th century.

Factual error: In the third chapter of the movie, as the Union soldiers run into the Crater, they are flying the fifty-star American flag which is not the correct flag for the time period. The flag, if it is counting all states, even Confederate states at that time, should have 35 stars. A star for West Virginia, which seceded from Virginia during the American Civil War, was added to the flag in 1863.

Trivia: Nicole Kidman played all her own piano for this movie.

Trivia: Natalie Portman, who plays Sara, originally auditioned for the part of Ada.

Ada: I brought you this book... and this photo. I'm not smiling in it. I don't know how to do that... hold a smile.

Ada: When this war is over, there will be a reckoning.

Ruby: This world won't stand long. God won't let it stand this way long.

Question: I just loved the music. Can anyone tell me whether there's a soundtrack or anything, or who are the main performing artists?

Question: I saw a rough cut of Cold Mountain, and in the scene with Natalie Portman, her baby dies, and she kills herself, as in the book. In the movie as released, the scene stops after Portman shoots the yankee soldier. Why did they cut the baby's death and her suicide?

Question: What does Ada say to her daughter at the table at the end of the film?
