	"The Politics of They": Dorothy Allison's Bastard out of Carolina
		Bastard Out of Carolina, she offers an uncompromising vision of the ugliness and injustice of poverty.
		Bastard Out of Carolina, Allison critiques not only two of the most damaging bourgeois myths about so-called “white trash”--their characteristic illegitimacy and incest--but also the ideology of motherhood underpinning a sex/gender system that cuts across social classes.
		Allison’s novel plays out the disastrous consequences of this system of sexual exchange and the patriarchal kinship system it produces, a system that relegates women to a relatively less powerful position and requires the suppression of feminocentric systems of kinship like the one we see among the Boatwright women.

		“Bastard Out of Carolina” is a gritty, coming-of-age drama set in the 1950s South about a young girl named Bone who loses her innocence through the sexual and physical abuse of her stepfather while becoming disillusioned with her mother’s ability as a parent clinging on to her relatives.
		Adapted into a script by Anne Meredith and directed by Huston, “Bastard Out of Carolina” was originally made for Ted Turner’s TNT channel but the end result was something far more raw and intense that makes the film an uneasy experience to watch.
		Anney and Glen marry and at first, things seem fine when Anney was pregnant but Anney’s mother doesn’t think Glen is the man for her, especially with the temper he got that was displayed in a brawl at work and the fact that he’s from a rich family.

	Bastard out of Carolina, Constant Reader Discussion
		BOOC was outstanding, as brutally honest as Kaye Gibbons' ELLEN FOSTER and beautifully written.Bone, a young girl who seeks legitimacy within her large extended family of self-described white trash, struggles with the dual feelings of revulsion and embarassment at her family's antics and a fierce pride and affinity with those she loves.
		That silky Carolina voice is magical, and the writing is, in the first chapter anyway (all I've read--or, more accurately, had read to me by the author), elegiac and breathtaking.
		BOOC was a brave book...I've mentioned to you before my tendency to want to impose my own sensibilities on fictional characters (a failure on my part, to be sure) and BOOC is a good case in point.

	Ron Eldard as Glen Waddell in "Bastard Out Of Carolina"
		Most important, ''Bastard'' is not some lurid victim-of-the-week movie, but an intelligent and sensitive work, which recognizes that any story of abuse is also the story of the lives that allowed it to happen.
		Of course, Huston’s unflinching look at the unhappy life of young Ruth Anne Boatwright in 1950s South Carolina also won the novice director plenty of ink when the project was picked up by Showtime: In the subsequent publicity flurry, she won points for artistic integrity, while the cable network got to crow about its cojones.
		In "Bastard Out of Carolina," Ron Eldard plays Glen Waddell, a blue-collar worker who woos a lovelorn waitress (Jennifer Jason Leigh), marries her and then, giving in to his demons, proceeds to molest and beat his stepdaughter (Jena Malone) routinely.

		In her directorial debut, BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA, based upon Dorothy Allison's largely autobiographical book on child abuse and poverty in the South, Huston displays impressive proficiency behind the camera as well.
		Leigh's performance in BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA is fine, although she's not really given much to do, and Ron Eldard work is very solid, skillfully manouvering his character's moods in and out of explosive rage.
		The film has the toned-down feel of a television production; BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA was originally composed and cut for broadcast on the TNT cable station, who ended up declining the film due to sentiments that scenes of abuse and rape in the film were too disturbingly realistic for their audience.

		But Bastard Out Of Carolina seems hollow at its center, due largely to the fact that Anne Meredith's screenplay doesn't make very good use of its source material.
		Bastard is the story of Jennifer Jason Leigh's illegitimate daughter, who is born into someone's nightmare vision of the American rural south.
		Bastard's poignant ending hints effectively at the profound and ambiguous effects that the abused girl's terrible experiences have upon her identity, but until that point, Huston's repeated use of violence just seems ugly and numbing.

		Dorothy Allison’s novel Bastard out of Carolina is probably the most complex novel that has been assigned this semester, brimming with themes including, but not limited to, gender roles, class status, stereotypes, and domestic violence.
		Although the situation in Bastrad out of Carolina is very different than that of Lolita, I was very fascinated by the psychological impacts of the abnormal and unhealthy father-daughter relationship as they affected Bone.
		Glen either explains that he is disciplining Bone because he wants her to “turn out right” or he blatantly lies to Anney, claiming that Bone says she hates him and does not love him.
