video sad but true Kentucky smart
Just got through watching it, great movie, didn’t care much for the drama about the kids wedding falling apart, but great documentary, hell these people have it better than millions living in squalor here in America.
IF I WOULD HAVE TALKED LIKE THAT AROUND MY MOTHER , I WOULD HAVE FOUND DADS FIST IN MY MOUTH……..SO WOULD HAVE MY OWN SON………..
Watched it all. At some point in time through the generations somebodies built homes which required materials etc.. Where did the monies come from to provide the materials? Was someone actually working when there was an economy in the area? If there was an economy. I wish they’d have gone into some of the further past generations with regard to the building of the home and where resources came from. I don’t know how much land they were on, how was it acquired? Is the situation now one of which it’s easier to sit around and collect pay? Lots of strong men and gals too. Prozac pop and his wife, wow. Hopefully their son Clint will rise above the mentality of his parents. He did come back from Cleveland.
Granny would be wise to stop letting that frothy, sweaty preacher man knock spirits into her. I wondered how much of Granny’s check was going to the preacher, just a thought, not sure if any, but I wouldn’t put it past.
The redeeming quality for me was family sticking together regardless of how messed up things were.
That tiller Grandpa was using to till the ground required gasoline of which they had. Someone is maintaining that machine, so they are working.
They said they have no running water which made me think of some Amish that use no modern day amenities, so not much different here.
They always have food as was mentioned. They also have shelter and clothing, so the basics are covered. Again, family was awesome and this is where the whole story was tied together.
It was mentioned in the comments that the boys language toward his mom was terrible. I heard it yet I perceived the intention of his heart was not one of malice nor disrespect, he was simply trying to get his point of view across to her because imo, she would not listen to him and frankly the way she spoke belittling toward him was very damaging. Imo, she gave no encouragement in her words that he could get married and stay married as well as provide for his wife, which did not come to pass in the end. His mom was a knuckle head trapped in a poverty attitude, imo.
Another thing I thought of was those quilts Grandma made. Those required fabric, thread, and batting from somewhere as well as time. They were nice quilts. All in all, they had a pretty good life although they could brush up on some good old fashioned reading perhaps to get a bit more knowledgeable on some subjects.
Was the point of this documentary to show the mentality of those on welfare? I don’t know, and also don’t believe this family would be the example of this anyway. Let’s get real here, life does happen and it’s not always rosy. Remember too they had family get togethers with food, lots of food, horseshoe throwing, etc..
Again, what was the point of this is my question?
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW A LITTLE “BACKWOODS MENTALITY”……………..
