Kind of going with JT's comment, and I may be completely off base here, but to me it seemed as if the filmmakers were making a mockery of the slaves in the movie. I mean, poor Pork seemed to have been an idiot during most of the movie and I honestly wanted to slap Prissy's character. I feel as if that was completely unfair and I think it shows a sort of influence of '30s attitudes towards blacks. -Kelly Wuyscik | Kind of going with JT's comment, and I may be completely off base here, but to me it seemed as if the filmmakers were making a mockery of the slaves in the movie.

| + | I agree with Whitney on finding it weird that the slaves were loyal to the family. The younger girl Prissy though did show some signs of being equal with Scarlette when Scarlette sent Prissy to fetch the doctor; she made a face behind Scarlette’s back.
