... my hometown as a movie title. OKC or Tulsa yes, but not Stilly. Matt Damon did an excellent job, I get tired of people ridiculously exaggerating the way Okie's speak in movies. It grates on my nerves. He nailed it though, phrasing, accent, and the style that is common around here. The only thing that was off was the location in town. The run down section on the south side that is more prone to have younger people working for minimum wage, or those on fixed income. Oil rig works average about 70k a year and the higher ups make double that, even if he were laid off for a year or two and on unemployment he wouldn't be in that area. Most of the people I know that are oil workers live outside town, in nice homes. A lot of them with a few acres of land for a yard... Although I reckon for the movies sake the visual was better in town.
Anyway, thats neither here nor there... Back to the movie, I'm just glad she at least didn't end up being completely guilty. Although she definitely made some stupid choices, but she paid for them. The movie was an interesting watch for me, it was good. Probably not something I would watch again anytime soon but I'm not usually big on this style of drama. It was pure curiosity that made me put it on, and the quality of the movie that kept me watching to the end. That said, I'm glad I did.
