Sling Blade

I have always liked works with this theme. When such people return to society, will their past really be the past? The previous "Boy A" that I gave full marks had a tragic ending, while "Switchblade" had a more open ending.

"Switchblade" raises a satirical topic full of paradoxical meanings: Since the Bible says that murderers go to hell, does a vulnerable group like Carl go to hell after murder, as the Bible says? This seems to be a question with an obvious answer, but it actually makes people start to think about where the so-called "correctness" in society comes from.

How could Billy Bob Thornton's performance be anything but full marks? Surprised that the Oscar in 1996 actually gave the best adapted screenplay, but not Thornton's best supporting actor. The 130-minute film may be a little long, but due to Thornton's excellent performance, his re-contact with society, his year-long friendship with Frank, and the unique southern accent "All Right Then" are unforgettable. You don't feel like you get into the atmosphere of the story.

    Three and a half stars, the movie started to make me drowsy, but I was slowly brought into the mood, those simple words were so touching, the corners of my eyes were moist, some stories are suitable to be told slowly

Sling Blade quotes

  • Charles Bushman: Now... On the third day, I washed her. She wasn't too clean. I got all the right spots. She's the only one I kept for a certain amount of time, because I got a real short attention span. Now, I can't say she enjoyed her stay, but that washcloth I put in her mouth and held it there with a big piece of duct tape kept all her complaining to a min... I don't like people who talk all the time. I like to do all the talking, which is why I think I'm so fond of you, 'cause you're so easy-going. Although I do sense a little tension in you from time to time. So, you were out in the world, huh? What was it like?

    Karl: It was too big.

    Charles Bushman: Not too big in here, is it?

    [Chuckles]

  • Vaughan Cunningham: I'm just going to say it. I'm gay. Does that surprise you that I'm gay? You know what gay is, don't you?

    Karl: I don't reckon.

    Vaughan Cunningham: [quietly] Homosexual. I like men sexually.

    Karl: Not funny 'ha-ha', funny queer.

    Vaughan Cunningham: Well that's a very offensive way to put it. You shouldn't say that. You were taught that, weren't you?

    Karl: I've heard it said that a-way.
