This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Ada and Teague have no relationship. Teague lusts after Ada. He also has his eye on her farm.
   Inman is shot during the battle when he returns to save Swimmer. Swimmer's importance to Inman isn't shown and he is shot in the crossfire.
   There are many black characters. No black actor plays a major role.
   Ruby is of mixed race. Ruby is played by Renee Zellweger, who is white.
   Inman sees more slaves than he is used to during his time in the Civil War. He starts to believe that the war is about letting rich whites keep their slaves. That is part of his reason for deserting. He only deserts so he can return to Ada.
   Ada remains in North Carolina to avoid being forced to marry a rich man in Charleston. She stays in Cold Mountain because she is waiting for Inman to return.
