Southern Themes without control

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2007)

Craig Brewer follows the success of Hustle and Flow with another, no holds barred, movie quest. To call his movies, movies, is to belittle his talent, and reduce his personal efforts to that of every other writer in Hollywood. The man has a vision and no matter the subject, its obvious he expresses his opinion without concern for the lip-sync crowd from the west.
Black snake moan is an awesome movie with a story line that must be seen, because it cannot be summarized. The mixture of blues, southern themes, and metaphors for real life in the south rings true fro those of us, blessed or cursed to have grown up here.
I grade movies on how many times you have to see it to understand it all. This movie takes three ....and gets an A. Watch it, think, and then watch it again. You will not be disappointed.
