"Sling Blade" (1996) - Writer, Director, and Leading Man Billy Bob Thornton's Southern Gothic Classic

[DonRocks]

I saw "Sling Blade" when it was released, and 23-years later, the only thing I remembered about it was that I really liked it.

After having seen it a second time, I can now say that I *love* it, and that it's one of the most brilliant one-man packages I've ever experienced as a filmgoer (Thornton was the screenwriter, the director, and the lead). That said, the entire cast was nearly perfect, without a bad, or even average, performance in the film - every single actor soared in this wonderful movie.

See "Sling Blade." I won't taint this film for you by summarizing the plot, or commenting on its components, but I invite anyone and everyone to watch it, and if you disagree with me, to post your viewpoints down below. I'll be very surprised if anyone writes anything, but I'll also look forward to reading your dissenting opinions.

Cheers,
Rocks
