my girlfriend pick this one while a a southern born and raise african american i find this movie plot and premise totally without credibility . to believe that class and racial bias would be so easily and comfortably suspend would only come from someone totally unfamiliar with the ante bellum south . totally absurd . i wonder how they get a good actor like harvey keitel and a good actress like andie mcdowell ( who be southern know well ) to participate in this crap .
