This youngest son then taps into his inner ruthlessness and seeks revenge for all of the families wrongs, climaxing in his ordering the killing of his own brother. The other's a Civil War epic focusing on the beautiful, spoiled daughter of a plantation owner in the antebellum South who, having lived a pampered life, now must struggle to survive during wartime; this takes place against a backdrop of unrequited love when the man she has lusted for since childhood marries her best friend and she must then save the best friend's life... Dude, you've been made. Throw the guy a big, hefty settlement and a co-credit and move on.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/22/when_movie_imit.php#comment-1019260 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/02/22/when_movie_imit.php#comment-1019260 Comments Thu, 22 Feb 2007 13:26:37 -0500 <p>I love how Price explains how he and his brothers were skinny punks who could throw balls hard.</p>
