I have read this book, Bastard Out Of Carolina by Dorthy Allison, and it was a great book.
It was so good, I was interested in watching the movie. It came on Lifetime, and the movie basically covered the book.
It's about this girl Anne Boatwright (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who meets this guy Glen Waddell (Ron Eldard). At first, he is this good looking guy who is really nice and wants to be the father of Bone (Jena Malone) and Reese.
He asks Reese to call him "Daddy" and she has no problem calling him that. Bone, can't say it for the simple fact that he's not really her dad.
He gets angry. This was a man who was all about control.
He gets Ruth Anne pregnant, and while she was giving birth, Glen , the two kids, Reese & Bone were in the car. The kids were asleep. Glen wakes Bone up and rapes her in the car. -VERY DISTURBING SCENE
It was too horrible to watch, I had to change the channel. I didn't have the stomach for it.
It all about physical abuse, he beats her because Bone was "direspecting him", and Ruth Anne believes Glen over her own daughter Bone.
Ruth Anne sends Bone to go and live with Aunt Alma. When no one was in the house with her, Glen rides along, and goes over there.
Unfortunately, he rapes her again. Again, I had to change the channel. It was absolutely horrific what he was doing to Bone.
The movie is VERY graphic, you see almost everything. I didn't have the stomach to watch all those gruesome parts.
I remember watching Sleepers, with Ron Eldard, now, I don't think I can look at him the same. He's good at playing bad guys.
It was a good movie. (Although, very disturbing. I' not sure I can watch it again)
