could Lurene be any dumber?


I don't know how this woman could be so naive, living in the South and making so much trouble for this black man. You could tell by the looks of the other blacks on the bus that they knew she was off her rocker. Paul even said it later, if she'd had left him alone, none of that trouble would have happened.

In the end, I ;liked the film, but the Lurene character almost made me turn it off. She was dumber than dirt.

Yes, she was very stupid. Why did she jump to conclusions and place that frantic phone call to the FBI before she even knew where the bruises came from?

I would not say that she was dumb, but she was naive and not very worldly wise. You would not describe her as deep or thoughtful.

I can imagine that she never left Dallas, and or even Texas. She clearly put the Kennedys on a pedestal, hence her trip to the airport. I think she was did not give a lot of thought to racial matters due to her naive nature.
