Might not be new, but makes you really hate 'rednecks'


Grew up in a city, been to country places like the Ozarks, but if people are really like that, you've got to really despise people like that -- who would ever hurt a young woman trying to help her family? As hateful as you can get!!!
If you really look at it, makes "Deliverance" look fairly tame (it ain't your family trying to kill you)...

Nothing clever as a signature -- don't need it...

Those people beating her were her family.

If you grew up in a big city like you say you did, you would know people hurt their family everywhere. People are a-holes everywhere. These people had/have problems just like people everywhere else.

Not every person of a social class is the same, though. I'm sure there are some nice 'rednecks', just as there are some scummy ones...






Born when she kissed me, died when she left me, lived whilst she loved me

Wow! Really? So you watched a movie and now you think all rural people are murderers and women abusers?

reply

This has nothing to do with the movie having a rural setting. The movie is full of criminals. Criminals do bad things.

Had the opposite effect for me. I am a full on pinko by Ozark standards but it gave me some insight into why Red States are red. Tough life but proud, sense of community but independent, break all the rules but still have a code of honor. All contradictory stuff but I can empathise with they way they think better now.

So you let an Independent movie dictate how you now feel about rednecks you've never met? Howe close minded.
