The book's better. It's not sad a story. Inman was a dead man already. He redeemed himself. All the other characters developed and moved on, died or were killed.
It's a very under rated film. I think it was held back from popularity only because of its slow pace. If there isn't a substantial amount of explosions and flashing colors the majority of people get bored. Following stories and multiple characters in a period based drama is hard for the "popcorn film" enthusiasts.
I love this soundtrack! Very few film soundtracks leave indelible marks in my head and this whole soundtrack is one of them. From Alison Krause and Sting, Gleeson’s own musical talents, Jack White, Ethan Suplee. Awesome soundtrack.
@@ouuumnia4990 probably figured it out by now but the song is called "I wish my baby born" . I believe there are many variants for it though since it is a folk song , but you can pull up the full version played in the movie by searching that name
It was true at that time...just shows how detached people are...you aren't drafted. Into a war where you might kill your own family members in this day
This is definitely one of the est films of all time I love it. This scene is brilliant when Teague starts singing you can tell Stobrod Thewes thinks he is off the hook. Also when Pangle gives the game away great acting.
I think he finds his misery in it "the owl the owl is a lonely bird, someones blood there on his wings" he is the owl in my culture the owl ho-ho at night by the house represents "death has come to this house"
I think he showed some mercy to Pangle esp with the cover your face part. They all knew except him what was going to happen, I think that was a mercy in itself to make it quick and without him being scared.
The scene, only lives up to what in essence was, is and will continue to be the man misnamed white,Ruthless even with his own motivated by those cravings for power
If you want a great scene with the same essence check out the eggplant scene from True Romance. Terrific performances by Chirstopher Walken and Dennis Hopper. True Romance is a Tarantino script directed by Tony Scott.
A friend and I saw this movie just to kill time while waiting for our friend to finish work. Both her and I were blown away by it. Did not expect to get so emotionally caught up with all these great characters. It really is an underrated film.
When the owl sings about the owl, knowing that he is about to have someone's blood there on his feather -- that's what gets me every time. Amazing writing, directing, and acting. Pangle is perfect.
I wish, I wish my baby was born And sitting on its papa's knee And me, poor girl And me, poor girl, were dead and gone And the green grass growing o'er my feet I ain't ahead, nor never will be Till the sweet apple grows On a sour apple tree But still I hope, But still I hope the time will come When you and I shall be as one I wish, I wish my love had died And sent his soul to wander free Then we might meet where ravens fly Let our poor bodies rest in peace The owl, the owl Is a lonely bird It chills my heart With dread and terror That someone's blood There on his wing That someone's blood There on his feathers
A good scene from a very underrated film. Good soundtrack too. If anybody knows the history of north Carolina then they know all about bushwhack killings and family feuds during the civil war. Very sad.
Members of my family going way back were involved in the partisan killing in North Carolina. One of the worst incidents was the Shelton Laurel massacre. People in western NC, VA, and eastern TN and KY were either Secessionist or Unionist for various reasons, and when you found people in your same county had donned a different color uniform than you, killing got really personal and brutal undoubtedly.
Remember, before the war, Bodie was an outcast. When the war broke out, the Confederate Home Guard recruited him and for the first time in his life, he felt accepted and valued. As such, he relished in his ill-disciplined, criminal duties. He knew at that point he could basically get away with anything under the veneer of valor and duty. While the rest of them are nostalgic for pre-war camaraderie and solidarity, Bodie never experienced any of that. His reaction is only appropriate once you understand his worldview. When he tells Inman that he has the "confidence of youth" on his side, he's admitting that he has nothing else. Shorn of his militaristic bravado, he's a consummate nihilist.
@@princegalenagreat analysis!. Sadly, there are people with enough vocation for domination and tendency towards sadism to commit this type of crimes that war itself legitimizes veiledly.
I went to the Jefferson Library in DC and on presentation for all to look and read was hundreds of letters from soldier's and family of soldier's. I read a few, and the saddest one's I noticed was the one's from the conferates wives. The letters simply express the empty heart. It was as if the Civil War took there soul and left them with nothing to look forward too. Just one of many hardship of war.
@@MrDrake390 in case you didn't know, Georgia is the name of the character that's hiding. In the prior scene, they had cooked and eaten a rotting deer and Georgia (played by real life musician Jack White) got up to go puke in the woods. That's partly why he looks so sick. That...and the abject terror and horror of seeing his friends shot.
Oh my gosh this movie has multiple scenes that made me bawl. This is one. Its pretty messed up how the captain Teague is even disgusted with himself for shooting them esp the simple guy. Albino guy was cold as ice .
Look at the way the albino guy (Bosie) is closely watching Teague the whole time too. As another commenter said, he’s watching him like a hawk. It’s like he’s restlessly uneasy at even the slightest possibility that Teague’s heart might soften and be merciful in that moment.
Read the book and seen the movie and I love Charlie Hunnam's character (can't remember the name at the moment) it just seems that nothing touching phases him whatsoever makes you wonder what is going through his mind.
Yeah his character name was 'Bosie' I didn't realize it was charlie until I heard the voice and I was like 'wait a minute thats Jax Teller's voice' but his performance was so chilling to me during this scene I felt my stomach drop a few times and alot of goosebumps charlie made me hate him in this film 😆
Thank you for the intelligent and insightful observation. I like the movie. This is a moving scene addressing the complexity of Captain Teague’s conscious. I never quite picked up on the song’s reference to the owl and it’s allegorical association to the cruelity of man.
I was shocked when I saw Hunnan on some talk shlw. He sounded like a straight-up John Bull! How the hell do these guys copy our English, let alone regional dialects?!!
@@rev.redhand6205 You know what's crazy. I believe you are right! I saw a neat show once, maybe on the History Channel or something like that. "The History Of The Hillbilly"! Or something like that anyway! So, they said the actual accent, like you say, is from Scottish origins! Which is of course British Isles! They went on about the moonshine history, going back to the 1700s! Plus a whole lot of other neat stuff!! They did mention that the Appalachia area was once one of the most remote isolated areas in the U.S., along with the Cookson Hills in Missouri. They mentioned that so closed to outside intrusions was the Cookson Hills area, that Pretty Boy Floyd was utterly safe as long as he stayed in this area. The FBI wouldn't even venture there. Outsiders were immediately flagged, and everyone soon know they were around! Bonnie and Clyde once made an attempt to shelter there, and Floyd's friends and family members told them to leave, as unwanted. Floyd was eventually killed in Ohio. Appalachia had a similar reputation. Outsiders had no chance to blend in!
SPOILER: All these years...this movie has been one of my all-time favorites and I am just realizing that hunky Charlie Hunnam was that creepy Bosie that killed Jude Law! Wow, did he do a great job in that part!
This is totally random and unrelated to the topic but I have to say it - I noticed from your picture that you are one *extremely - beautiful - lady*, straight beauty.
The Southern Accent is very close to the British Accent. It's more closely related to it than any other American accent. Additionally the Appalachian Accent, is a remnant of old Elizabethan English, so that accent is even closer.
It's because they tend to be formally trained in accents, much more than Americans. There's a higher standard to be an actor there. Half the cast of Band of Brothers was British or Irish.
If you ever get the chance get the book on cd, it is long and worth the listening, much more detail, better than the movie, I loved the movie. Iman was a real man who lived during the Civil War.
That is a good observation. I wondered about this part too, I didn't see it that. I would have liked the writer or producer to delve into his memory about why he was so moved by this song.
I've wanted to watch this movie for quite some time. For one reason or another, it just didn't work out. Until I find myself in possession of this movie, thinking with my luck it's be scar arched and unwatchable, I tried it. Looking back (after watching it) it was a beautiful movie, to say that it was quality in every aspect (not like many movies nowadays). It's a story of love, torn apart by war, life and evil. Through it all, they fight to be with one another. Great characters (except the Joker-like Bosie). A few unnecessary scenes amd lines that take away from the story and potential of its greatness, but other than that it's almost perfection. A movie I'd definitely re-watch, but hesitate to keep. If you enjoy a struggling romance or sad films, this might be the watch for you.
This scene always sticks in my brain so much, before I watched this movie the first time, I used to have dreams about an occurrence similar to this happening. Oh well, got to visit Cold Mountain outside Asheville a couple of Thanksgiving ago with my wife, my sister, and her wife, their kid, and our mom. It was a beautiful drive up there through the Shining Rock Wilderness and a beautiful hike on the mountain
At least he tried to run after the first shot instead of just takin it. If I was ever in a situation like that I'd at least go down talkin s*it and yelling every yo momma joke I could think of lol
Cold Mountains one of the best Movies ever made, and its the sadest as well...
The book's better. It's not sad a story. Inman was a dead man already. He redeemed himself. All the other characters developed and moved on, died or were killed.

The part where the devil hates that something so beautiful is touching the soul. Great direction and acting
this scene is the most saddest . I cry everytime I here this song . gosh
I fell you... damn this scene is pure art, cold, raw art. Them singing even they know they will die
@@mohamedirksousi4396 soo sad aye
I laugh every time I watch this movie
@@MrDrake390 I have seen many internet tough guys in my years online. You, sir, are the toughest.
It's hear
That's probably one of the best tunes I've heard on a fiddle ever
This is definitely one of the est films of all time I love it. This scene is brilliant when Teague starts singing you can tell Stobrod Thewes thinks he is off the hook. Also when Pangle gives the game away great acting.
Damn, the look on Stob's face after Teague tells them, "Stand over there..." gets me every time.
He’s like a kid that thought the principal wasn’t going to give him detention after his lecture.
This is my fav. part of the movie. I thought that that draconian bastard was finally going to show mercy when he began to sing.
I think he finds his misery in it "the owl the owl is a lonely bird, someones blood there on his wings" he is the owl in my culture the owl ho-ho at night by the house represents "death has come to this house"
I think he showed some mercy to Pangle esp with the cover your face part. They all knew except him what was going to happen, I think that was a mercy in itself to make it quick and without him being scared.
@@ShaunMAndCrystalS True, he spared poor Pangle the horror that was coming.
Man.... He's playing that fiddle like he knows he's a deadman. FUCK. This scene is sad. This.... there's a lot of life in this movie. Decades later.

When the owl sings about the owl, knowing that he is about to have someone's blood there on his feather -- that's what gets me every time. Amazing writing, directing, and acting. Pangle is perfect.
Even Teague is amazing, his hardened heart gets soft for a few seconds when the song brings childhood or youth memories, perhaps
I wish, I wish my baby was born
And sitting on its papa's knee
And me, poor girl
And me, poor girl, were dead and gone
And the green grass growing o'er my feet
I ain't ahead, nor never will be
Till the sweet apple grows
On a sour apple tree
But still I hope, But still I hope the time will come
When you and I shall be as one
I wish, I wish my love had died
And sent his soul to wander free
Then we might meet where ravens fly
Let our poor bodies rest in peace
The owl, the owl
Is a lonely bird
It chills my heart
With dread and terror
That someone's blood
There on his wing
That someone's blood
There on his feathers

Sad song :”(
you got it wrong
@@tbngeorgetown what is wrong?
Bonjour
Qui chante cette chanson ? Ne ne la trouve pas dans l album musique du film !!!! Merci
You could see the sadness in Teagues eyes when they started singing. I think he just realized how fucked up of a man the war made him.
Triage was a bitter asshole before the war.
A good scene from a very underrated film. Good soundtrack too. If anybody knows the history of north Carolina then they know all about bushwhack killings and family feuds during the civil war. Very sad.

amazing film with an amazing soundtrack. and many lessons on war, human nature and looking at the past, the resilence of the heart.
Broke my young heart
"Broke my young heart"
Charlie hunnam's sarcasm when saying it makes that line so much better, too.
Funnier too because he looks 30

I love how British and Irish are impersonating southerns, (better than several Americans) That is the beauty of acting I suppose.
well there is a lot of British and Irish in the south
The Southern Accent is very close to the British Accent. It's more closely related to it than any other American accent. Additionally the Appalachian Accent, is a remnant of old Elizabethan English, so that accent is even closer.
Not all Southerners are British and Irish. There's also French, German, Native, African, and even Chinese!
Infinite Sky but German, native, and Chinese don't contribute to the accent.
It's because they tend to be formally trained in accents, much more than Americans. There's a higher standard to be an actor there. Half the cast of Band of Brothers was British or Irish.
