Yes, it was a step above yarptard but far less nuanced in both acting and writing than Hoffman's Rain Man. God I hate that pretentious no-talent homosexual of an "actor"
Its been a minute but was the stepdad he killed really all that bad? I feel like I remember him being typical bad rather than someone who deserves to die
He knew that that man was going to continue abusing and ruining the child's life, that the kid had no escape unless he did something
He was pretty bad, and would've kept inflicting abuse and getting away with it because he knew people in the police department. The mom, the kid, and the gay friend all knew he was gonna kill him too which is why they all deserted the house so he could do it.
funny I mostly remember him being condescending and unsupportive, then theres that jam scene that made me think he was more interesting type guy to get that many bros over to casually jam like that then he kicks em all out heh brings me back to my jamming memories
and beyond that he seemed like a truly tortured soul, not that that justifies the way he treats other people but I legit felt sorry for him, Doyle's life is a cautionary tale
Well it’s not like he got up and tried to save his own life when Billy Bob comes up with a sling blade saying it’s to kill him with. A suicidal drunk or something
and beyond that he seemed like a truly tortured soul, not that that justifies the way he treats other people but I legit felt sorry for him, Doyle's life is a cautionary tale
He isn’t unsympathetic, but you can’t have people fricking up your life and endangering you just because they’re “tortured” or some shit.

I’m genuinely enjoying it
Has some Waterbou type shit played straight.
Some moments reminiscent of The Outsiders.
John Ritter as a moronic city-slicker homo.
Say what you will about the financial subordination caused by being married to the only person in the house who works, but the way it’s given the best way to handle it is to kill your abusive husband hoping you get the money rather than just leave him is pretty grim
Oh. And what, he just won’t leave? The cops are his friends or whatever? It’s been a long time I’m just curious about the mechanics of letting the local moron murder your husband rather than just separating from the guy, though this is probably all without an option for no fault divorce
He drive with Karl all hammered and admitted it to the police and they didn’t care. Kind of flexing his immunity from the law. He really probably could have been dealt with without murder but Karl is moronic after all.
>I was studying on replying to this bait shit post >but I rekon aint no need for it if you going to just same gay sitting in that chair >you will be dead soon enough and the world will be shut of you
Funny, but I’m offended if you’re implying I didn’t post the thread with sincerity.
then here is my response
Karl is simply misunderstood though he is handicapped he has >drive
got a job in a day after getting out of the state hospital his boss loved his work ethic >intelligence
he is also a wiz with small engines. >moral conviction
1. kills Doyle an abusive pos who would of ruined a boys life
2. tells off an annoying psychopath killer who unlike himself enjoys killing
he is the opposite of full moron he is the most based mentally handicapped person ever depicted in film.

This movie is heartfelt as fug bros. I should have realized my dad only quoted it so much because it affected him deeply. I thought he was just memeing.
I think it would probably affect any man with a soul. Maybe Karl reminds him of my grandpa, his dad. He was also fascinated with Karl’s weird food choices.
its sad seeing how much has changed since the 90s. from a small town feeling rural area to fricking strip malls. the most moronic thing is the fry stand from the film is now a fricking McDonalds.
He wasn’t moronic though. He had a stack of classic literature he read and remembered all of.
Not really the kind of thing a moron can do.
He had some developmental disorder didnt he? He still had basic logical thinking. Higher level thinking. And was aware of how the world works to the point he did socially courteous stuff like censor himself regarding what he talked to the boy about because he knew it was for adults. Or killing the dad and turning himself in (genuinely would have been dumbed if he tried to run)
>Gump and Rain Man: slow/stoic and autistic >DiCaprio and Penn: full moron
Not full moron. That's why BB Thornton's Carl Childers is an absolute classic.
no its not full moron cause hes competent
Based
His mom deserved it too.
No, because he properly identifies child abuse and properly identifies the solution, carries it out, and turns himself in knowing what he did
Mhmm
Does anyone suspect he liked the kid as more than a friend
Yes, it was a step above yarptard but far less nuanced in both acting and writing than Hoffman's Rain Man. God I hate that pretentious no-talent homosexual of an "actor"
Hoffman? Or Thornton?
Its been a minute but was the stepdad he killed really all that bad? I feel like I remember him being typical bad rather than someone who deserves to die
I’m rewatching. I think he is abusive tbh. It’s pretty sad that Karl feels like he had to kill him as a solution and forfeits his freedom for it.

A kaiser blade
Some folks call it a slingblade
''its what the highway boys used to use to cut down weeds and what not''
Kinda shaped like a bananer
I like it
I reckon.

Women really do shack up with guys that abuse their children
That’s okay because they also shack up with guys who go to prison for killing their abusive boyfriends
Dwight Yoakum is such a fantastic actor, like holy frick. One of the most talented men in this world.
It’s too bad he doesn’t harass any black people in the movie
is this actually good or shlocky forgotten oscarbait? want to see it for billy bob
I’m genuinely enjoying it

It's an extremely enjoyable movie despite any flaws.
I watched recently and thought it was dog shit
I watched recently and thought it was kino
Sitting there like
>lol I’m getting killed by a moron with a lawnmower blade, this is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen, lmao even
If he didn’t kill Doyle then Frank might not have been a professional drifter.
Shiet forgot picrel

Bro you’re misremembering
Linda works and she isn’t married to Doyle
Don’t think she’s gonna get anything from him being killed.
Oh. And what, he just won’t leave? The cops are his friends or whatever? It’s been a long time I’m just curious about the mechanics of letting the local moron murder your husband rather than just separating from the guy, though this is probably all without an option for no fault divorce

He truly is a moron of all time.

That's why we all meme m8
I personally think its the best film ever made. it has a sense of realism somehow that's never been able to be captured again.
just wondering why did it effect your father so much?
I think it would probably affect any man with a soul. Maybe Karl reminds him of my grandpa, his dad. He was also fascinated with Karl’s weird food choices.

>thank yuh
Sling Blade is one of my all-time faves. I love the pace. I love the authenticity. I love Carl Childers.
damn, my dad loved and quoted this movie too. Wish we could've worked through our differences before he died. Such is life.

>Carl you want some biscuits?
I COULD SURE USE SOME
>Has a job
>Has friends
>Doesnt live with parents
Would the American justice system truly let Karl Childers live in an institution and not be sodomized in Jail?
Yeah
I hope you’re right
Ain’t no gas in it
