[[Sarcasm Mode|Fun little upbeat slice-of-life comedy]] where some nice [[The Deep South|southern folks]] learn some [[Magical Negro|fun things]] together about friendship and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|the blues]]. Memorable for the scene where [[Samuel L. Jackson|Samuel L.]] motherfucking [[Badass|Jackson]] [[Rule of Cool|plays an electric guitar]] [[Empathic Environment|in a thunderstorm]], even if for no other reason.
In real life (aka not [[Sarcasm Mode]]), the 2006 film '''''Black Snake Moan''''' is about a cantankerous former Blues singer/guitarist named Lazarus ([[Samuel L. Jackson]]) who has fallen on hard times. His wife leaves him for his brother and his faith in both God and other people is rather low. Then he meets Rae ([[Christina Ricci]]): a nymphomaniac struggling with her sex addiction and other psychological problems now that her boyfriend Ronnie ([[Justin Timberlake]]) has gone off to the military. Lazarus finds her beaten and unconscious in the road near his home and decides to "cure" her: cure in this case standing for chaining her to a radiator. However, after much friction, Rae slowly starts to listen to what Lazarus has to say about life through his music and through learning how to deal with her problems.
A polarizing film, it made quite a splash with its controversial subjects that include but are not limited to rape, sexual addiction, parental abuse, anxiety disorders, and religious outlooks.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Above the Influence]]: Mercifully, Lazarus refuses Rae's initial advances to have sex with her in favor of helping her deal with her condition.
* [[Badass]]: Lazarus (but then again, it's Samuel L. Motherfuckin' Jackson so that goes without saying)
Line 15:
* [[The Deep South]]: Tennessee
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Christina Ricci ate a diet of fats and starches to give herself an unhealthy appearance for the film, and wore an actual 40-pound chain for all the scenes with it.
* [[Fan Service]]: A sexually
* [[Intimate Psychotherapy]]: A version of this is used. Rae and Ronnie pretty much keep each other sane by being together.
* [[Jerkass]]: Ronnie's "friend" Gill, who savagely beats Rae for refusing his advances, dumps her body in the road, and then brags about it when Ronnie comes back, effectively crossing [[Moral Event Horizon]].
