Best movie of this year hands down!

Undescribable Perfection

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

When i started watching it i was just feeling bad for being turned on , then when you start to understand whats going on , this movie takes you to a place that you couldnt even imagine . the messagfe in this movie is very important , and very real . i myself met people with similar situations , and i wish that i could do what happpened in that movie , well maybe exept the bondage part . in the end , this movie is about help , the exact help from the exact person that you need . and in this good ending , everybody got the help they needed . something that you cant just not to wish everyone.

"Black Snake Moan" drips in atmosphere, but it's clichéd, meandering, and mostly offensive. Samuel L. Jackson plays a Tennessee blues man looking for redemption and find his chance by "helping" stereotypical white trash Christina Ricci. After finding a drunken, half-naked, and beat up Ricci along the roadside, he chains her to his radiator in order to provide tough love until she agrees to change her party girl ways. Yep, the film is just that offensive! Jackson and Ricci are both strong actors and are compulsively watchable, even when they're saddled with garbage like this, but it's only their screen presence that makes this film barely watchable.

This movie is nothing like I expected it to be after seeing the trailer; less kinky, less dirty, admittedly, than the "theme" of having a young chick chained up in an aging man's house might evoke. It ended up being a pleasant surprise, a good watch. Acting is excellent, especially Ricci and Jackson, but even Timberlake surprised me by a good, human performance. All the characters who appear are believable.The makers did a good job on accuracy; a girl who gets hit still has a bruise days later, things don't miraculously disappear overnight.The whole film breathes, exudes the atmosphere of blues, of the American south really, really well. The imagery is at times so evocative you can almost feel the sun and smell the soil and the hot summer air. While a drama and at times grim, and definitely not a sappy Hollywood comedy, this passes as a 'feel good movie' to which I'm likely to return (re-watch).And the soundtrack is to die for. Pure epic.

I remember seeing advertisements for this film and thinking it was nothing I would want to go see. Finally got around to it some years later and realized it was actually a great movie with a great story. It's a story about redemption ultimately. And ironically enough I related mostly with Justin Timberlake's character; a young boy who feels he has to prove something to the world despite his medical problem. Loved (truly loved) by a woman/girl who doesn't care and loves him just the way he is. He leaves because he feels he has to force himself to become a man so he can take care of her. Not realizing that love is about taking care of each other, and allowing yourself to be taken care of. Rae kind of handles his absence by going on a bender. Drugs, alcohol, and even sex. Continually trying to (for lack of a better term) fill the void Ronnie has left. You see it all the time in dozens of movies and TV shows, except it's usually a man going on the bender when the woman he loves breaks up with him. Lazarus is essentially an extreme form of rehab for Rae and in a sense, himself. He has someone to take care of as she becomes the daughter he never had. I really like the end of this movie as well since it shows Ronnie will probably never be the hard- ass he thought he needed to be and it's not a bad thing to depend on someone else. I also like the symbolism of Rae's gold chain since it's essentially saying that she is her own keeper now. All in all, a great movie... just not the one they advertised it as. It's actually much more mature instead of the sex-filled festival the trailers and commercials made it out to be. It's much like Inglorious Bastards in that way since that film is also great... but the subject is not the Bastards.
