My takes, and taste, in movies is even better than my politics.
Here's my take on Sling Blade. I actually liked it the first time I saw it. All the main actors were good. But I saw it again years later on cable, and it bugged me--I'm sick of this little mini sub-genre that exists--the dumb/mentally disabled/reeruned guy who is actually brilliant.
It's supposed to be so moving that the one who seems to be least intelligent among us is actually the smartest, the deepest, most philosophical. Carl is a dim-witted child in a man's body, yet spouts off these funny, poignant, deep thoughts about life and love. It's insulting, really.
However, Sling was 100X better than I am Sam with Sean Penn.
