Anyone else see this yet? What a wild and bizarre movie but at the same time incredible well made and entertaining. I had no idea what to expect but I walked out the theater ecstatic at what I just saw. Incredible movie. The main website doesn't tell you much but it's definitely worth checking out.

Ahhh, this movie. It finally was released. I hear it's quite good but I fear the product itself. I'll probably go see it if any of my movie buddies are up to it.

I saw this movie yesterday, and it was fairly good. Not a movie you would want to see if your looking for quality. From the trailer it's not what you'ed expect. Ricci's character has been left by her boyfriend Ronnie (Timberlake) and from then on she's a complete mess and has a need for all thing sexual. The man that Jackson plays is actually trying to help Rae (Ricci) cure her fom her "evil ways". The story evolves and with it you get a better scense of what Rae is really about and why she does the things she does.

Note: Justin does have a small but prominent part in this movie.

The movie was really strange!!!

But, Ricci and Jackson gave teriffic performances!!!

I enjoyed it.

It took a lot for me not to read those spoilers I can't wait to see this movie! I think I'm going to write a script and put the word "snake" in the title... That'll surely get Mr. Jackson to star in it!

Freddie

Yeah, it's mostly enjoyable because of Ricci and Jackson's performance.

Justin's in the movie for a total of 10-15 minutes.

I'm not sure if I want to see this movie or not. My girlfriend will think I just wanna see Cristina Ricci in her underwear if I taker her to it.

Nah, it's not like that. Just tell her the movie is an incredibly unique drama and one of the first truly original films to come out in hollywood the past 15 years. I'm sure she'll understand


Really though I think this is one of my favorite films now. I'm not a big Justine Timberlake fan either, but Samuel L Jackson and Christina Ricci are both top caliber actors and make this this bizarre and crazy story great

What is the purpose of the title?

All titles have something to do with the movie? What the hell does Black Snake Moan mean? What they live in a town called Black Snake and he's trying to cure her of her "moaning" sexual habits

Black Snake Moan is an old song I think.

Here are the lyrics

I - I ain't got no mama now
I - I ain't got no mama now
She told me late last night, "You don't need no mama no how"

Mmm, mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Mmm, mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Some pretty mama better come and get this black snake soon

Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug, baby a chinch can't bite that hard1
Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug, honey a chinch can't bite that hard
Ask my sugar for fifty cents, she said "Lemon, ain't a child in the yard"

Mama, that's all right, mama that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right, mama that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right, most seen all you do2

Mmm, mmm, what's the matter now?
Mmm, mmm, honey what's the matter now?
Sugar, what's the matter, don't like no black snake no how

Mmm, mmm, wonder where my black snake gone?
Mmm, mmm, wonder where this black snake gone?
Black snake mama done run my darlin' home


IMO it ties in well with the feeling of the movie. The movie is so strange and completely different than anything I've seen before that I think an obscure title like this is well fitting. BTW I see that the movie has it's own myspace page www.myspace.com/blacksnakemoanmovie I've put sone banners on my profile because the movie really deserves more recognition IMO.

Enigma

Yep, Black Snake Moan comes from that song. I loved that Jackson sang in this. He's on the soundtrack too.

It was definitely an original film which I appreciated.
