Loved this movie! Not many examples of interracial romance, sex, marriage in movies...this is a good example brought about by tragic events.....includes two very hot sex scenes between the main characters.........and remember she won an academy award for her performance.......eventually Billy Bob buys her a gas station and moves her into his house.........you are on the edge of your seat to see what happens to the main characters as she discovers Billy Bob was one of the guards that "kill" her husband........you are up and down emotionally the entire movie....both lose their only sons......
