was monas son really a moron?


Mona says he is a moron but its alluded to that he is normal; although they don't say it and its not perfectly clear to me.
Was Jimmy Dean, Monas son a "moron" as she puts it, or was he normal?

reply

I think Jimmy Dean (Jr.) is normal. After all, why else would he know how to drive a sports car he's never seen before?

I think Mona liked being "special". So she claimed her son was retarded or a moron so people would feel sorry for her. For some reason, she thought no one could figure it out if she never let him out of her sight. The official name is Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Exactly! I started reading your post and thought Munchausen before I read to the bottom. I just saw it again on Blu-Ray, and it never fails to please. I would LOVE to see this re-released in the theaters that folks could be introduced to ONE GREAT MOVIE!

Not Munchasen since he was never taken to doctor.

She probably never took him anywhere lest anyone find out that she was lying about who the father was.
