You may be right Nadine...I'm no Civil War scholar.

I'm assuming that you saw the movie? If so, would you consider the poetic form of dialog expressed in the letters written by Ada to Inman true to the period? Was Ruby's ability to turn a phrase also indicative of the period?

The movie wasn't advertised as a documentary and the director was trying to portray events through a work of fiction. In that regard he did a superior job imo.

It was well acted, but self-indulgent and predictable.

Isn't that so typically true.
