Which is good because much of the music I listen to, you can't understand the words.<br /><br />English Patient was much more a chick flick and melodramatic. I feel Cold Mountain was more balanced toward the male and female audience.<br /><br />I watched Captain Corelli. Speaking of accents, I can not imagine you enjoyed Nick Cage's. Please don't make me read the book. If you do, I'll do another book/movie saying the movie was better.War Movie Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999735218343872013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-46925505944199974512012-01-06T11:38:34.550-06:002012-01-06T11:38:34.550-06:00Yes, of course, I didn't get the accents in th...Yes, of course, I didn't get the accents in the book. That's tricky, it seems.<br />I'm not sure which scene you mean but I'm not as much a story line reader, plot is secondary to me, I'm interested in style and words and the sound of words, no movie can capture that. Purely from a plot perspective, it's a good movie. <br />I'm just surprised yo liked this and not the far better The English Patient.<br />I will make you read captain Corelli''s mandolin. I think, of the three novels, I liked it best. That is realy much better than the novel.allaboutwarmovieshttp://allaboutwarmovies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-56335217598612435812012-01-05T19:12:59.520-06:002012-01-05T19:12:59.520-06:00Was that him?

If you are trying to provoke me into reading The English Patient, you will have to put it on a readalong (and I will curse you for doing that).<br /><br />I knew you would disagree. I hate to break this to you, but as a Southerner I can break the news to you that the accents in the book were laughably ridiculous. Being a European, I'm sure you did not catch that.<br /><br />Which of the scenes I listed were better in the book? I'm not talking about the acting, the accents, or the hair. Just the plot.the war movie buffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-22624866168707921402012-01-05T03:04:03.964-06:002012-01-05T03:04:03.964-06:00Indeed...

This movie is...Indeed... I absolutely do not agree.<br />This movie is very weak in comparison to the book. But you are a Minghella fan. I remember how much you loved The English Patient. Lolallaboutwarmovieshttp://allaboutwarmovies.comnoreply@blogger.com
