Black Snake Moan is a character study, of a handful of people and the area they live in. It depicts a time frame in these peoples lives - not the entire cycle, because... that would take a long time. In a realistic sense; problems do not fade right away, everything is not perfect, and the story doesn't end when the credits roll. That's why I like Black Snake Moan. It doesn't give you a bullshit ending. The characters will continue to struggle with their problems, they are not cured instantly and treated to the perfect life. I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey... because I suck at explaining even my own thoughts.
So yeah... the point was... to present a universe with these characters; to bring them to life and create an atmosphere around them... along with dropping a few low-key messages along the way. Nothing ever DOESN'T have a point... it's just that some are really bad or might be missed easily. :)
