This movie allows you to use your own imagination and your own life experiences....contemplative as stated by another reviewer. There are some faults such as poor lighting and poor acting, etc but not as awful as some others that I have seen. Not a redneck movie but a partial movie that requires a melding of the directors images with the emotions of your mind. For those that totally disliked the movie, it would be like an 8 year old trying to comprehend something like "Gone with the Wind". Of course the 8 year old would dislike it. The movie is built around the nature of revenge...or lack of revenge. Warning: spoiler alert. Here's the hint that may help. The key line is the scene when the young boy tells the undertaker what to do with his step father. Think of what he says and relate that to the narration. Remember, less is more. BTW I saw GWTW as a teenager, and then as a middle age adult...you can imagine my reactions on the second go around. Check this movie again when you gone through several decades of life with its up and downs, and hopefully recovery as demonstrated by the last visual of Hawkins adult son and widow.
