This is an epic movie. However, the way it portrays the black people is really troubling. I can only recount three black characters: Mammy, Big Sam, and Prissy. Amy and Paul talk about Prissy being maybe mentally handicapped. This is a character written by white people for white people. It's really disturbing. The North and the carpetbaggers are the bad guys. The old South are the good guys. Slavery is addressed obliquely, and it suggests that it wasn't such a bad thing. WTF?
