this movie be and of the 67 of 71 best picture i have see and by far the bad . first of all and i find the plot line somewhat absurd the absent husband for 25 year or still in love or not even a letter . give me a break . and why be the guy who be absent for so long coincidentally work on an oil rig next door to the congress woman party . this film also exhibit some of the bad stereotyping of african american that i have ever see . it make go with the wind ( see prissy ) look downright progressive . i have scarcely see a movie that i dislike this much . ugh .
