BLACK SNAKE MOAN
In here you will find everything you need on the movie
of your choice.
In rural Mississippi, Lazarus, a
former blues musician who survives by truck farming,
finds a young girl nearly beaten to death near his home.
She's the white-trash town tramp, molded by a life of
sexual abuse at the hands of her father and verbal abuse
from her mother, who seems to delight in reminding Rae
of her mistake in not aborting her. Lazarus, who is also
facing personal crisis at the dissolution of his
marriage, nurses Rae back to health, providing her with
gentle, fatherly advice as well as an education in blues
music. Rae's boyfriend, Ronnie, goaded by the man who
nearly beat Rae to death, misunderstands the
relationship between Lazarus and Rae, and vows to kill
him. Lazarus, exhibiting a street-smart understanding of
violence and its motives, calls Ronnie's bluff, senses
that he is as troubled as Rae, and becomes a guiding
force in the young couple's resurrection. Written by
Joe Jurca
