Best Time To Listen Black Snake Moan

Please allow me to present you this topic as it wont take long before you will get to know everything about it.

A 2007 release, Black Snake Moan is a film the recreates the atmosphere of the Mississippi Blues Movement starting from an older novel and former song. The reception of the film was not by far the one expected from the public as some reproached it to have a messy plot, while others expressed criticism over the sexualized violence that dominates the movie. Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Chrisitna Ricci and Justin Timberlake, Black Snake Moan reveals lots of African American issues, exposes drug abuse, bitterness and sexual addiction cases. At the origin of the film lies a novel by George Eliot written in 1861, Silas Marner, while the soundtrack is inspired by the Blind Lemon Jefferson song created in the late 20s.

The actors performing in Black Snake Moan devoted such a great attention to this project that significant parts of their lives had to get adapted to the requests of the script: thus, Samuel L. Jackson got to study around six hours a day, for six months to get the right skills to play blues guitar. Then, Christina Ricci also set an example of role commitment by having only food with low nutritional value and walking about almost naked just to get into the character's skin better. A hot debate issued due to the partisan marketing of the film, which was labeled as pretty offensive to women.

All in all, when it comes to the reception of Black Snake Moan, the film failed to rise up to the producers' expectations. Yet, positive reviews were also passed, but less intense than the bitterness of the negative criticism. The reproach often directed towards the market film promotion was that it encouraged promiscuity and it tried to attract the attention of college boys audience instead of addressing wider public categories. Hence, Christina Ricci was one of the film cast members who spoke against this form of advertising, claiming it unpardonable and unprecedented in her film career.

The Black Snake Moan soundtrack album enjoyed a better public reception at the beginning of 2007. The tracks feature Samuel Jackson together with other important blues names. There is a total of seventeen tracks included covering both classic and modern blues; the album registered great sale rates, as Blues fans got enthusiastic towards a new approach to such a dear and sentimental music style. Good reviews were made by critics too, and these proved much better than the rest of the critical opinions passed on the film, Black Snake Moan.
