WTF Was UP With The GrandDaughter Demon Child ?

[deleted]

I don't think she was intentionally portrayed as a demon child. Instead, she is just a child with issues but she becomes important because her relationship with the white boy is used as a metaphor about the state of race relations in that town.

Her grandmother barely tolerates her and why is that? is it anger & grief over the death of the girls mother or unresolved anger about the girl's mother having a child with a "black".


then there's the swimming scene - it's NOT payback for getting smacked in the face at the picnic - she merely treats TImmy like another aboriginal child. She doesn't come to his recue because she wants him to start to swim. She knows he can. She would have jumped in if he really had been in trouble. Note that when she does join him in the water, Timmny is thrilled to have overcome his fears and swam for the first time. it's the racist grandmother who assume ill intentions. When Tim tells his Mom what happened that day, he doesn't say I almost dorwned - he says "I swam!" with happiness.

All creepy little demon children are bad. It's not in their nature to be good. Christ look at that Damien travesty. Now THERE is a problem child.

And by their very nature, children naturally are demons.

They exit the demon stage when they become adults and then transition to the moron phase. Instead of "almost drowning" a playmate, they actually shoot and kill other people intentionally and all sorts of other mayhem too intense to be detailed here. After all, this is imdb - not the Military Times.
PG13 not XXXXXX TVMA RRR etc.

These are some insightful and some hilarious posts! :D:D:D I busted out laughing when I saw the title of this thread because I thought the same thing: that little girl is bound to grow up and harm people. She appears to be an accident waiting to happen.
