What’s great is that he not only does the voice perfect, he has the mannerisms and even the set of the jaw. I need to watch that movie again. My son told me to watch it. Are there two versions? I seem to remember that there are two versions.
“My son told me to watch it. Are there two versions? I seem to remember that there are two versions.”
The movie (long) is based on a short Thornton did which is just the interview scene. Title was “Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade” and Netflix has/had it.
Try to find the DVD version with the “making of” on it. It is amazing to see Thornton behind the camera as director announce ISTR “Childers now” (or similar words) and switch into character — the change is almost creepy.
Karl Childers is my all-time favorite movie retard — followed closely by Chance the gardener (”stuffed with rice pudding between th’ ears”), Rainman and a distant last Forrest Gump. (Peet dons asbestos flame-proof suit.)
