In the second part, Grace not only noticeably pricked, but suddenly became younger by 12 years. A spherical tale in a vacuum, discouraging with its improbability. With the style chosen, everything is clear – it is just as ridiculous as the plot itself. Although I don’t think the film would have gotten any worse if it had been shot in a real village in Texas, with real nature and scenery. To watch the whole production through a constantly attached palm was quite shameful. The authors of both parts could probably have said a lot of clever things about why they filmed everything in an empty room slamming imaginary doors, but I think it’s simple – they just weren’t given a normal budget, that’s all. The film is made for a strong idea and in principle even shoots, if you wait until the end. But the story doesn't look like anything real. So, some wandering bandits accidentally fall into the backwaters at exactly the decisive moment for him, the daughter of a mafia boss decides to find independence in the worst possible place for this, where slavery persists for 70 years after its abolition, she is immediately taken to the throne, she almost swaps whites and blacks, she is helped by a noble cheater, she is somehow betrayed by a man who owes her everything. The plot is full of pianos in the bushes. Why the window opened from the outside - the devil himself will not understand, but it was useful for the plot twist. Why did the cheater talk about his work and 20% to be useful in the end? Why was the clock put up by vote? In addition, a lot of delusional and non-working details. Two Negro women argue who owns the rake – even if they give some arguments, it is interesting to listen to the fuss, but no, their conflict is absolutely abstract. The Negro drank 3 bottles of moonshine and then not only did not die, but soberly behaved and showed the bed number. The slave who had fled in the beginning, whom someone had to help, for some reason was hanged, but did not decompose in a few months. The old mistress asked me to burn the book – why if in the end it turns out that the book is not bad? Well, it's a twist for the viewer, but the hostess didn't need to ask for that. It's crazy, it doesn't add up. All this was accomplished by a simply disgusting editing - the footage jumped right in the middle of the dialogue, so it has not been filmed for 50 years, it is very bad. I have to admit that the film has an idea. The heroine came to another monastery with her own rules, and her actions only got worse, and she herself had to bend to society, to which she so wanted to do good. With her progressive ideas she achieved nothing, for her romantic idealism she was almost lynched. Yes, it happens that the leader does not cope with responsibility, and society with freedom.
