3:09 At first I thought this scene impossible as regards firing three shots from a long gun, since the time is the 1840s and even in the Civil War 1861-5 both sides were reliant on single shot rifles except for a few fortunate Yankees who bought themselves Henry repeaters from 1862. However, if one looks closely, the young master's gun works on the revolver principle and was available then but unpopular since the user received incandescent gases in the face when firing from the shoulder.
There is a great difference of opinion about this film which personally I liked and found better than the novel from which it diverges at times. One must bear in mind that the characters function in a Nazi-like context where the greatest injustices are acceptable, and Hammond, by nature a decent man, acts according to the mores of the time inculcated in him by his father. James Mason's Southern accent seems much improved since Cold Sweat and Susan George reprises a sexy scene from Straw Dogs.
hammon didnt treat mandigo like no animal he treated like equal man but the other slaves around mandigo would tell him that to make feel like he was no better then a dogg in his eyes and that just wasnt true. mandigo shouldnt have under estimated hammon loyalty to him especialy knowing that there were friend's!in hammon eyes mandigo had betrayed him and after that was'nt trying to hear anything he had to after that.
hmmm i think hammond just snap once he found out about the baby and it belonging to madigo thats when he just went on a lil killing spree.some foks that see this will say he killed mandigo cause he slept with his white wife the average white man back then would kill a black man for doing somthing like that.but i think it was because in hammon mind he seen mandigo as his closet friend if you pay close attention to there relationship it was un like no other.
@proceesdreamer He treated meat, less than human, feeding him just to build up muscle so he can fight and make money for him, then making him breed w/ the slave woman to make a child, and treated he so called wife like nothing & killed her and having sex w/ ellen only to call her a nigger at the end, then how he kills meat @the end ,is that' what you call a friend? He has so much blood on his hands it's a shame, if it would continue, it woulda sowed him loosing his mind.
@USNubia23 what you must understand the man meat was only a product of his environment and what he taught.was meat not dependent his daddy yes he was did meat not go to dady for adivce yes he did, did meat do what his daddy him told yes he did.first thing dont look at some things and not aknowledge others!every thing meat did or his behavior towars the blacks were taught and held up as religion around those times.why blame meat and not his mentor who taught that negativity his daddy.
@proceesdreamer I think you have the character's confused. Meat, was the slave , and Hammond was the son, & main character. What you stated is called an excuse, just because we're taught to do bad things and live a bad life doesn't mean we have to abide by that. True, he was much kinder than his father never the less, his action were still manipulative,and demeaning , how he treated his wife, & meat in the end was cruel. He's know better in that sense. This is my opinion.
@USNubia23 ok i got the characters confused so thanks for the correction on that.and your right about the being taught to do bad things dosent mean you still dont know wrong from right ill give you that.but your wrong and you are defaintly wrong about me makng excuses. hammond was very dependent on his daddy and he did know right from and yes his wife was she all that innocent really look at how cruel she was towards the slaves she kept secrets from hammond as well.
@proceesdreamer and were exactly was hammond being demanding and manipulative with out him being told do so from his daddy.you see you like to cover up some thing's and ignore other's. lets be all the way honest and not just half way hammond was not that cruel towards his wife nor them slave nor towards meat.
What a lousy ending; at any rate Hammond becomes the heir and owner of Falconhurst plantation, his wife is dead from poison but he will still sleep with the slave girl Ellen or dump her and find another black slave girl. The really bad one in this movie is Hammond. He slept with whomever he pleased but when his wife did it it was unforgivable right lol what a bastard
