Movie Summary: Set in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, three Bondurant brothers run a bootlegging operation during the depression, up in the mountains of Franklin County, Virginia. Crooked Special Deputy Charles Rakes is after a share of the brothers' profits. Compounding their troubles, the local competition is elbowing in on their activities. Forrest's boisterous defiance and Cricket's knack for moonshine production help the brothers gain a local monopoly. When Forrest is wounded as tension with Rakes escalates, Jack, initially the timid one, must prove his worth against gangster Floyd Banner's mob, and we see him metamorphose into a cocky exhibitionist in his attempts to woo the off-limits preacher's daughter, Bertha.
Last weekend, John, Dan, and I went to the movies today. We saw Lawless starring Shia LeBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska, to name a few. This movie was based on a true story and was very interesting. It's hard to imagine a time when it was outlawed to have alcohol. There were a few violent/gruesome parts, but besides that it was a really good movie!
