Saw it on Tuesday. Pretty good movie I'd say, but I haven't read the book. And pretty good music too, although its presence in the film was rather muted. There were some very moving scenes, and I think all the principle actors suited their parts just fine, Nicole Kidman included. (I suspect there were a fair number of southern belles that were every bit as good looking as she is.) I thought the scene with the young woman and her baby at the isolated cabin was just heart-wrenching when she asked Inman to sleep beside her (and nothing more than that). Among anti-war films this is one of the best. Who could feel enthusiastic about launching a war after seeing such a movie? Not many.
