Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie 🎬

[@maturefella]

I grew up and have always lived in the South.This is the first time I have ever viewed this film and find it very amusing. The "southern accents" used here are hilarious and you find people living in the same household who are speaking 2 or 3 regional accents! There is no one southern accent, but several accents are spoken in southeastern USA! I am university educated, an avid history buff, and a former teacher. I do know a little bit!

[@jec1ny]

I remember watching this as a kid. Seeing it again brings back some memories. It was definitely a product of another era when we were still largely in thrall to the "Gone With the Wind" view of the Civil War and the old South. I laughed at the beginning when the slaves were being included in the social introductions.

[@FemiNelson-sb1em]

History DOES mention good Owner's. Albeit not many, several kind Owner's are better than none. Yes, slavery was/is horrid. However; those that chose to be fair & kind, were Blessed with loyalty. Paz

[@stanleyszelagowski7599]

This is an excellent metaphor for things being too good to be true , far too often. I’m sure , even in the slaving south , there must have been days of idle. Suffering has always been common to every corner of the world and in all times , but people have always maintained the addiction of trying to forget the painful realities and make the best of things. I’m no apologist , but am a realist.

I think its a really hard slap in the face that Leon remained friends with Bonnard, even after what he did to his little sister. Not to mention that the sister couldn't even attend the festivities at her own brother's wedding because her tormentor was the best man. She had to watch from the window. That's fcked up.

Patrick, We just drove through Southern Georgia, a few days before Thanksgiving-chilly weather and orange leaves falling off the trees; the cotton balls were still in the fields, unpicked. Not a farmer here, just telling you what I observed. I guess they get harvested when they’re ready. Hope that answers your question.

[@paulalmiller8959]

The American Civil War was fought from April 12, 1861, to May 26, 1865. I found that the date is incorrect. The dresses in 1980 were not like this. Maybe changing the date from 1980 to 1860 would make the movie more truthful.

[@tinydancer867]

That’s RIDICULOUS! You do understand that the Africans were participating in Slavery, kidnapping weaker tribes, selling them off, keeping them for themselves for thousands of years before the White man ever went to the shores of Africa and bought there slaves. You also don’t seem to realize or appreciate the FACT that it was majority White Men who fought in the Civil War, dying, and losing limbs, taking bullets for the end of slavery. NO slaves fought in War and took bullets for their own freedom, it was the American White Men including at least a dozen of my ancestors! Blacks in America need to start appreciating our Country and the many WHITE men who died to free them and the WHITE man ( President Lincoln ) who gave the slaves citizenship, and all of the opportunities and rights that our WHITE founding fathers created! The blacks should have been shipped back to Africa after the War which was considered at the time bc all they do is Complain about this very Country and us Whites who gave them EVERYTHING including there freedom and lives! If anyone deserves Reparations it’s the ancestors of us Whites who did all the bloody hard work and left there families behind to fend for themselves, causing families to loose their farms, their kids to drop out of school to work to feed their siblings, ect, My ancestors SUFFERED way way more than any slaves in this Country and only the slaves benefited from the mass loss of my family members and many others. I’m PROUD of my white male ancestors who fought and were way more brave than any of those slaves. And on the other side of my family, my ancestors owned Sugarcane Plantations and it’s documented they owned at least 800 slaves. And I’m PROUD of them too for taking advantage of legal slavery to better the lives of there families and build wealth for us to this day, we own an entire Caribbean Island bc my ancestors worked hard and were smart businessmen who legally owned slaves. I’m just as PROUD of my slave owning ancestors as I am about my many Union Soldiers ancestors. I’ll NEVER apologize for my ancestors owning slaves and making our family better, and I’m not at all ashamed of it! I’ll tell anyone I’m PROUD of them and they did the smart thing back then. Also, the first slaves in America were the Irish NOT the coloreds! And they wanna complain after all the White men gave them to succeed unlike if they hadn’t been shipped here as slaves so all of them should be lawfully stripped of their US Citizenship and Deported back to Africa or anywhere else but here and banned from ever coming back bc of the nasty, racist rants and ungrateful attitudes coloreds have towards My ancestors who bleed for them, and the Country that gave them EVERYTHING they would’ve NEVER had! They are disgraceful, hateful, and harmful to us whites when all we’ve done for them as*holes! They must be deported in my opinion! In fact, Africa is still practicing slavery I’m Lybia to this day. And did ya know there were many wealthy free former slaves in the South that were commercial slave owners and just as wealthy as the white plantation owners. But than goodness they were never considered “citizens” when they passed so there land, and wealth they acquired did not go to there kids, but to the whites! Thank Goodness bc they deserve nothing!
