Eve’s Bayou & the Uncertainty of Memory - Uncle Tommy Saw What Happened That Night!!

[@ChakaSasha-vq3su]

He definitely SA Cicely. That’s why she got her period after the storm. And she didn’t want her Dad to look at her. Also, when Eve asked Mozelle how to unalive someone and Mozelle asked for her hands. She acted like she couldn’t see anything. But she DID see. That’s why she accused Louis of SA Cicely. Remember, her visions are always right. She wouldn’t have asked him, if she didn’t see it. Cicely was telling the truth!

[@jasper1949]

She didn’t start her period he broke her/popped her cherry!! When she said he hurt me badly,he smashed and humbled her,she not being used to that messed her up psychologically..

[@SaggieDivine333]

Did yall hear the letter he wrote?? Smh

[@ChakaSasha-vq3su]

@ Duhhh he’s gonna deny it! Who would admit that? But his mother already said that Mozelle “may be crazy but them visions always come true”. She seen it in Eve’s hands already. That’s why she even asked him. No lol girl is gonna like their Dad, she was GROOMED-by him and there are deleted scenes they removed from the film.

In the director's cut Louis did in fact sexual assault Cecily. The uncle just interrupted the action

@Imari723 I mean he did it. I really can't paint the picture but his disabled brother let him know he was there

[@Jtzist]

@latravisgriffin in the directors cut all we saw was the uncle knock down the glass bottle because of what he saw we didnt see nothing while it was focused on Tommy. Stop lying.

aint no mutual when a child is involved. she was groomed and him leaning in shows a comfortability in doing so, he was not caught off guard. Lovely retelling but I do think people miss the point. We all were questioning the child and her integrity. It almost seemed like a lot of viewers were quick to blame the child, but ignored the complete lust of the Father and his intimate relationship with his own daughter. I also want to point out that he was so sloppy his youngest caught him in the act?!?! The Father was to blame all along.

[@kiaracherie2532]

I also want to add that memory loss can also be a result of trauma and wanting to block it out

[@imanithefilmophile]

Yeah I definitely stated that the father is solely at fault because he’s the adult in the situation. So I definitely agree with you on that!!

[@JloveLamar]

How on earth was he sloppy? They went into the dark shed away from the party. He did not look back once. How on earth was he to know his daughter was in there hiding? That being said, I disagree with you. I believe what happened was Cicely was in love with her father. In all of the scenes with her dad, she is doting on him and wants it to only be the two of them. Then, she hears of all of his cheating, and she wants to, in a sense, take her mother's place (she gets her hair cut just like her mother, etc.) There's another deleted scene where she tells her mother if she drives the dad away, she won't ever forgive her. The night of the incident, she goes down stairs to talk to her dad and she tries to kiss him. He slaps her and tells her "No", which is the first time she is disciplined by him, and now she was hurt. Now, fast forward to when Eve confronts her, she has it blocked out. "Trauma" is no match for someone with the gift of sight (as evidenced by the aunt earlier, she can see what needs to be seen, unless you are purposely trying to withhold the information. Remember, Eve kept her plans hidden from their aunt and she could not pass that part of her when she tried to use her powers). First, remember Cicely told Eve with all certainty that she wasn't lying, until Eve asked to see it for herself. Then, Cecily wouldn't let her see what happened. She ends with, "I don't know what happened. I don't know." There's no way she doesn't know what happened. She recounted the story to Eve perfectly. She just wouldn't let her see it because she was lying.

[@Judgement494]

@@JloveLamarif you think that little girl was aiming to be sexual with her father you are no different from the protagonist in Lolita and lack critical thinking. She really just wanted to spend whatever limited time she had with her father. He was busy being a dog ass husband tarnishing his wife emotions, reputation and even the family. So no, he wasn’t around the house a lot. Even red wanted his attention and wanted to dance with her father. The father was mostly absent so an anxious attachment developed within the daughters. Of course not from the boy because he gotten plenty of attention from his mother as you can see from the first 10 minutes of the movie. The father again, is a serial cheater, liar, and pathetic. He wanted to feel like a “hero”. And who made him feel like a hero? The oldest daughter. But he twisted it into something sinister. Why….. would you believe him anyway?! lol Also, there are very real stories of young ladies being betrayed by their father or father figure….. so would you suspect they were being promiscuous? With that kind of thinking, this is why some girls aren’t protected and unfortunately, people turn a blind eye to the situation. Just like the aunty did when she was the first to know something was up…

​@@Judgement494 I agree with her it's telling in this narrated video plus OBVIOUS in the movie. I'm sorry you don't see it. Good luck to you

[@pinkish410]

I just finished the movie and on thing I caught that I feel like pole miss is after Cicily creates the fake story to Eve, and after eve calms down, Cicily turned to Eve and said "you scared me, you know". She said it as if she was expecting Eve to say that their dad had touched her. Cicily seemed concerned that possibly what has been done to her has been done to Eve.

[@sharcam2010]

This movie is 100/10. Cat put into words how it makes me feel. Comforted, yet scared.

[@rowlaanbennett7296]

I have the DVD copy of the directors cut! I found it at a pawn shop Years ago! It includes all of the uncle scenes! I don’t think they print the directors cut anymore

Yes they do. Criterion Collection released it last year or 2022

@rowlaanbennett7296 Yes. It was also director approved. She did commentary. I think the director's cut is terrible.

[@rowlaanbennett7296]

@@JloveLamar I kinda prefer the theatrical cut as well and understand why the uncle scenes were omitted

[@ChakaSasha-vq3su]

Louis definitely favored Cicely. He called her “his most beloved child” when he wrote the letter to Mozelle. And he would let the grandmother check all the kids except for Cicely.

[@braidedgirl757]

I actually thought he SA'd her until the end, where it kind of seemed like it was up in the air, but he was inappropriate with Cecily nonetheless and definitely adultified her ...I saw this movie in my early 20's it definitely deserves a re-watch in my late 40's

[@tosjamorgan7036]

I NEED the directors cut! I didn't even know it existed before today and now I just feel like I haven't even really seen the damn movie now 😒

[@sederiacarey]

I always wondered but something seemed wrong about the story

[@SaggieDivine333]

Exactly

[@rainbowluvher7029]

Mozelles premonition was acurate i believe, not about her the drunk uncle. Later on in the movie, a child does get hit by a bus

[@thewordsmith5440]

Isn't Inception another example.

great perspective!!! the director's cut is available for rent or to buy on youtube

[@sharcam2010]

Moeselle said she was blind to her own life, she wouldn’t have been able to see anything about her family idt

[@meadowkimora]

that and i think shes scared. lets be real, nb wants to see they’re future cause 9/10 youll try to change it and fuck it up all tg. she was smart yet eager to live just as much as a “regular life” as the next. i think it was mentioned that her family always thought she was crazy and foolish when it came to her gift and honestly I think that she didn’t want to read her family’s futures just to save her sanity.

[@lorisinclairminor]

What did she mean by the pretty people are important? It’s giving ableism & ugly laws. So the one person who has a disability got cut cuz he wasn’t “pretty” smh I don’t like that neither do I like the idea of making incest pretty

[@lover20181]

I think you're kind've missing the point. They are a cookie cutter family, and the point of having attractive characters do bad things is because it creates uncertainty. This movie, which I grew up having in a CD holder, but never watched until I was older because of the themes (I think my mother did that to protect me honestly), is complex and its its meant to be that way. Just think of celebrities now or even people who you know who have been subjected to sexual violence by attractice people, you always lean into the "no he/she couldn't have possibly done that!" It's a oxyomoronic juxtaposition that poses the question: How can someone/something so beautiful be so ugly?

[@jimbean5781]

11:56 it’s on KZbin I just watched it

where

[@SaggieDivine333]

Why should she tell on her brother? 🤫 That’s not her business nor her problem so she shouldn’t speak on it which mozelle didn’t 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Jtzist]

Why didn't she write the book that way nothing would be taken out?

[@SaggieDivine333]

Because she chose the movie instead.

[@Jtzist]

@Saggy333 yet books nothing can be forced out and the reader would have 100% facts what happened between Cecile and her Dad. Otherwise what happened is opinions not facts
