I agree Jen. I thought this was going to be a not so great film when first I saw it, but it really is a surprise. Very well done!

Well good, thanks Keith!

I have to say I enjoyed this film very much. It has a good message namely that hate and evil will kill you.

I liked how the good and the bad were portrayed in this film and I liked seeing Duke's character trying to work through it.

And for those of you who thought you were getting some kind of peek into a vanishing subculture, well you were.

I've met true hillbillies, as we used to call them. They were wise in the ways of their world yet recognized and, to some degree, feared the outside world whose values they did not identify with or understand.

They valued their place in the world, their homes, their families, their hills.

We could learn a thing or two from them.

Help!

Well the family and I all settled down to watch this fine movie for the first time last night - I had Tivoed it several months ago - and we got down to the big conclusion where JW is lying on the bed after he's been operated on and his dad has just explained why he left and why he shot his son cause he would rather kill him than see him go to prison like he had done when the *(&%$# thing stopped. It just stopped and didn't record to the end of the movie!

I don't mean to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie but would someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what happens next?!

How does the movie end?

Thanks!
