we had like 4 2 hour class periods of alot of discussion on this movie...

I wish I could remember it all...

I think especially important is Stan's impotence and how the construction of his character goes so far beyond traditional stereotypes..

also the references to "down home"..

I really like this film though...

I highly recommend Bush Mama also from the same UCLA school of film makers..

Julie Dash's short film Illusions is good too...
