YMMV / Black Snake Moan

• Adaptation Displacement: It's not entirely common knowledge that the film is based on George Eliot's 1861 novel Silas Marner.
• Awesome Music:
  • Lazarus can play the hell out of a guitar.
  • For Blues fans, this movie's soundtrack - if not the movie itself - is a must.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: A movie with compelling performances from its two main leads, and quite a few people also remember it for having Christina Ricci chained for good part of the movie, with a handful of topless scenes as well.
• Memetic Mutation: Lazarus's Death Glare of disapproval has become a popular memetic reaction image.
• Heartwarming Moments: Rae and Ronnie getting married and Rae clinging to Laz as he plays through the storm.
• Moment of Awesome: Rae confronting her bitch of a mother, Ronnie confronting Gill, Lazarus confronting Ronnie, and the dance scene in the bar when Lazarus performs.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: Odds are very good most people only know this movie as "the one where a black man keeps a white woman chained to a radiator". That plot aspect is all the media talked about.
