A Film to be seen Again and Again

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

This is an excellent film very true to the original book. It gives a good picture of this period in history of the USA during the civil war. The way people with money and power carried out their lives. Servants, cotton pickers, grooms, cooks, maids, nannies, butlers etc waiting on them. The slowness and peacefulness with regard to no noisy aeroplanes, cars, lorries etc. Just the quite countryside with the sounds of horses, birds, cattle and other creatures. It is a good example of the destruction of war and the changes to their lives that were made. I think a follow-on film would be a good idea in the future, it should be of high quality and greatness to match this film.
