it initial premise is based on the american civil war but it ultimately a love story. we start at the beginning of the war where the main characters (kidman and law) are obviously aware of each other and there an obvious attraction and they have a passionate kiss on the day he leaves for the war. the main thrust of this film is for law character to return to kidman and his struggles to achieve that and her struggles to survive until he returns. the reason it fails to convince is that we do not see enough of this relationship before law character leaves for battle  it difficult to believe the premise that 2 people yearn for each other so much given they have had so little contact. everything else is just about fine and renee zellweger and her incumbent father and his entourage are lovely additions as is the threat from the gang chasing deserters. sure it a long film but it does hold the interest and the cinematography is great. an honourable attempt that doesn not quite make it but worth a watch nonetheless.
