Ugh! Whoever thought Artie Lang could carry a movie must have never seen his comedy before. There were a handful of funny moments but for the most part, this was just painful to sit through. Totally contrived plot, really weak script & dialogue, mediocre acting and way too many unfunny jokes. This movie sucked, don't waste your time. D- Black Snake Moan If there was a point to this movie, then I must have missed it. Samuel L. Jackson & Christina Ricci both do a superb job acting their parts and Justin Timberlake does a decent job of portraying a spastic crybaby, but the plot is just beyond stupid. I was hoping the ending would give relevance to the rest of the film, but unfortunately, that was not the case. On the contrary, the sappy ending made a lame film even lamer. As far as I can tell, there wasn't much more going on than a skanky whore that gets chained up by an old balck dude until she learns the error of her whore-ish ways. For me, the sole redeemingly quality in this film was Ricci's hooters, but even those were tainted by the white trashiness of her character. D- Man.... I need to watch something I know is good now. Too many crap movies in a row makes the prospect of watching any film lose it's appeal.

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. :) |
