Admirable film.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Black Snake Moan (2006) is a very interesting movie, it's one of a kind. It has an A list Hollywood cast. Veteran actor Samuel L Jackson, child star Christina Ricci, and singer Justin Timberlake. The actors are well cast and I think they all did a pretty good job with their individual roles. Jackson plays a man who's wife has left him for another man. And Christina Ricci plays a sexually abused women who's boyfriend (Justin Timberlake) has left for the military. Ricci's character is left beaten and bruised on the side of the road, and Jackson's character finds her and brings her into his house to care for her. Then that is when the movie really takes off. The movie executes its plot in a way that gives depth to all the characters, so that is good, but there are times where you aren't sure how to feel about certain characters and there are moments that feel kind of awkward. Luckily those times aren't rampant throughout the film, but they are there. Overall, the movie isn't one I would 100% recommend to any and everyone, but I liked the connections made between the characters. This movie is probably worth watching just once just for the connections and deep characters. 7/10.
This is one of those little gems that I propably wouldn't pick up if it wasn't on TV. This drama is a full package. Good acting, meaningful story, skillful directing and blues! Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci are very good tandem in this story of dysfunctional girl somewhere in America. She is sexy and disturbed and SLJ is good as always ( did he ever had a bad role? ). We have some chains and a lot of pain that needs to be cured! Definitely recommend for all people who are looking for more than entertainment.
Very amusing plot w strong cinematography, acting, and historical context etc. However, the white male director created two protagonists - a white female nymphomaniac and a black male blues singer / guitarist. Representations were well rounded yet traumatic and normative at multiple points in the movie. Ranked highly for execution and replay value. I wish black women were better represented in the movie, -: they are largely absent. Also, this movie certainly has the capability to transitive or trigger viewers sensitive to sexual assault, violence, depression, and / or racism and classicism. I really enjoyed how the film was set in the South. i was born in Atlanta and it made me wanna move back. Also Samuel Jackson looks fly as hell with tha gold teef.
In rural Mississippi, Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) is a fire and brimstone blues musician farmer. He's full of rage especially after his younger wife leaves him for his brother. Rae (Christina Ricci) is a wild sex addict who is struggling after her boyfriend Ronnie (Justin Timberlake) leaves for the military. She gets trashed at a party and left on the side of the road. Lazarus finds her bloodied unconscious body and tries to treat her. He finds that she's got the Sickness and chains her to the radiator to keep her from running away.Some take offense to the perceived misogyny and the sexual content. I don't dispute other's perceptions. Everybody is entitled to their own. The movie can definitely be seen through that light. It's actually kind of funny with a potent mix of southern style, sex and religion. The two actors are dynamos powering a very charged movie.
