Descrição: Duvall is right about the clear distinctions of background, motivation, and behavior that exist between Thornton's Karl and his Sonny, but in the essay that follows, I want to decode the "Southern physics" of the kinship of these two characters and their relationships to characters, stories, and images that appear in several Southern films featuring Duvall.1 These feature films move chronologically from a "domestication" of the South and its Gothic literary tradition in To Kill a Mockingbird to a rich exploitation of the Southern Gothic as a means to explore complex intersections of religious belief, class, violence, and male sexuality. While the 1962 film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird makes effective but ultimately truncated use of a domesticated Southern Gothic, Sling Blade and The Apostle reclaim Southern complexity in film through fuller Gothic explorations of the South's pervasive evangelical Protestantism and its web of relationship to class, race, family, and Southern manhood.\n church with the strange but good folk of Bayou Boutte suggests that there might be supernatural efficacy in his baptism and self-imposed penance.
