Hate how they show Texarkana


I hate how they show the cities of Texarkana and the people. We are NOT all a bunch of hicks in the middle of the woods.

Yea, right. Every thing in movies are real okay? If it's on tv it's gotta be true. Duhh

I live in south Texas and I thought the movie was pretty representative of our residents. They would go to church and treat murders like this in a religious way. Of course the young kids are less inclined to be that way.

You guys didn't get it as bad as Chattanooga in Iron Man 3.

I agree. I'm from Texarkana. The girl from the "trumpet scene" in the original was my grandmothers best friend (obviously it didn't go down like that). She drove me to where they found her when I was in high school.

How sad for your Grandma :(

and the town doesn't turn into a ghost town where gunshots don't awaken anyone?

Don't hate on contrarians

What is up with the way they dress? It looked like the entire shops at Goodwill

What's weird is that the movie was shot on location, but the director and costume person still wanted everyone to dress like they did decades ago. They couldn't just walk around town and see how people really dressed in 2014 Texarkana?

I never noticed that. The only one that actually stuck out and seemed to scream '70s' was the soldier's girlfriend when she meets him at the airport, everybody else looked pretty modern to me.

There's no accounting for taste. She could have just dressed like that for her fella.

well maybe not all, but a lot. A hell of a lot.

I didn't think the town and people were portrayed like hicks at all. it just seemed like an ordinary small southern town to me along with it's residents. the clothing and a few things seemed dated but that's what they were going for.

reply

The problem is that Texarkana isn't that small of a town at all. Between Texas and Arkansas side there are over 65,000 people in Texarkana. So though it is not a Metro area; it's not a small town in the least. The downtown area that they shot is a small area that is almost a ghost town at this point and not anywhere close to what the actual town looks like.

reply

Agreed. Ignorantass filmmakers. Portraying the south as if it's stuck in the 70's lmao.
