I read the plot of the Book on which this movie

is based.. There is nothing in that subject matter I find *entertaining*.
I will not be in any way enriched to have learned that drug-addicted people rape their daughters in public housing breeding mongoloid children and beat them about.. simply because some pitiful misery exists is for me insufficient reason to depict it in art.. Its better left unknown.
Some people get a voyeuristic kick out of seeing the basest degrading things.. they ,in my opinion are malignant. Trying to make this a story of Hope is as far as I'm concerned absurd. Making the point that there is Hopelessness and irredeemably miserable evil in this World is again pointless but as long as you're *entertained*...

  they are victims of themselves.. pitiable yes.. However I just don't find dishing that level of human depravity up for consuption at all compelling or inviting.. I am sadly aware this sort of stuff is part of Humanity..No great achievent on my part I have eyes and ears like anybody.
  Are you blaming *America* for failing such poor peopleexhonerating them for their poor choices which lead to such grave deprivation? Poverty is a universal free ride to get away with Murder? eh.. It just sounds too depressing to be interesting. I mean how many father/daughter rape scenes are there? Do they have a stunt double for Mongo when they beat him? Come on.. lol ,see what I mean? Even talking about it has dragged me down to the sewers..happy?

        be gained, using his logic, from revisiting something that occurred 7 decades ago while the "depravity" of prostitution, drugs, and violent crime occurring now, among the poor in the richest society known to man, rages on?
        You and he may think the poor are less than human, that they all are criminal, low-life folks with nothing of interest to "normal Americans." This, of course, is what you've been fed by a media that only concerns itself with stereotypes, with crime among the poor.
        Stories like this--- and I haven't seen it but am going on the contents of several reviews-- show that there are people that survive these dangerous situations with their humanity intact. That the suffering don't deserve their fate. I can see where someone who hates government assistance to the poor would hate this kind of movie. They've been convinced long ago that these people are "animals." Seeing their ugly thoughts so forcefully contradicted is an image in the mirror they'd just as soon forgo.

        You think one should lower himself to responding to garbage like that?

        Seriously re-read his posts on the poor. Do you note any empathy, any human feeling or just sense its written by someone who sees only people who deserve their terrible fates because of their own faults, their weaknesses and poor decisions?

        Your faux indignation is pitifully disingenuous. Glorifying degeneracy may fill your eyes with tears but it doesn't resonate with me.
        I will point out one telling thing.. You appear to have chosen to apply my statements to the helpless in this story when I,I think obviously referenced the Head of the Household who must be viewed as the prime instigator of the misery borne by those who find themselves subject to his tyranny. Though were I able to step into every such situation and set it right is my truest desire the impossibility of it makes the contemplation of it unbearable. That the producers believed there is a need to tell this kind of story baffles me.. Does anyone actually need to be reminded of the depth of depravity all around them? Whatever, I will still live without it.
