the trailer to this film focus so much on the chain ( of course and because it so sensational ) that it miss most of the movie and which be about a developing and although rather simply draw and relationship between lazarus and rae a they attempt to recover from their past pain with each other . of course and with the premise of a nymphomaniac in chain and it no surprise that there plenty of implied sex involve . however and at it core and black snake moan be a basic tale of redemption and the heal power of help another person along . maybe it just me though and but i think poor lazarus should have have his story focus on more . he a hurt man after his wife leave him and but we never fully see how help rae resolve her past pain heals him too . it just imply that it do in essence and he play the wizard that help the young rae overcome her curse and through a big ol chain and some blue . i like the story and but i wish it be a bit more even and do not have to rely on the sensational . the side character be fairly decent and if simple and i like the music . the acting be good enough and although i can not be certain if the rae character be fully believable . but that might just be my naivety . all in all and i like the film and but i wasn not compel by it . maybe it that i be too critical and but the story seem a little too convenient to be fully believable and so and while it all seem very cool and i could never truly buy it . the chain thing be a little too far fetch for me . still and this can provide some entertainment for those look for dramatic redemption story with a shot of the blue . positive .
