There comes a time that we have to deal with the skeletons in our closet

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2009)

A classic example of the phrase "You can't judge a book by it's cover" Most of us had a bad way of life in the past that has a way of making us who we are today. Sure we hide it most of the time like Rae did but we know it is never very far from the surface. In real life, I've traveled the same road as Rae but lucky for me, I found my Lazarus, help from the most unlikely people you would ever think. There's a lot of truth to this movie, I think more than we care to admit. Mr. Brewer done an excellent job showing us that race is never an issue with the one who seeks help so desperately. Also, Black Snake Moans gave me an entirely different view about the Blues and where it really comes from. It tells your story but more so, it bemoans the hurt and pain that usually comes from a broken soul.
