Sling Blade | 'Checking In' (HD) - Billy Bob Thornton, James Hampton | MIRAMAX

[@johnranallo424]

It was not a swipe. It was a compliment. As a mechanic, when diagnosing a problem, the SOP is to look at the simplest things first. The shop owner knows this and saw it in Karl.

One of my first jobs after moving away from home was selling home electronics and I was always completely stunned by A.) how useless the trouble shooting guides were for me (since it was all really obvious shit like check to make sure unit is plugged in and B.) how incredibly stupid people could be about such basic stuff. Really made me wonder WTF when I had to give Coke machine level instructions to a medical doctor on how to cut his television set on.

[@louiewatson9389]

Carl is genuinely a good person. He was just abused and bullied and a person can only take so much.

[@docducttape9270]

Well, maybe the first killing. But as an adult you can always just leave...

[@tewksburydriver8624]

@@docducttape9270 ... Carl could not leave, he loved his new friends and felt his life was worth so much less. He could not sit by and watch Doyle abuse them and he knew the only way to help was to eliminate what he saw as an evil. His loyalty to those who he sees as friends has no price. He knew that he was capable of doing what most people can't, or won't, in terms of violence. He is a peaceful man, but fully capable of eliminating an evil he perceives as a serious threat to his friends.

[@brandonwenzel2844]

Although I'm certainly no mechanic, I have worked as a machine operator on a production line for 6 years now; and I had to learn real quick how to fix issues with the lines. I work 3rd shift; and sometimes we don't even have maintenance available. So as the operator, you're the first line of defense if the line breaks down. One of the things I learned right away, was to look for the simplest problem and work your way up. I've seen lines down for hours with multiple maintenance guys, operators, and supervisors trying to figure it out. Only for me to come in and notice that a safety door wasn't closed quite right and that was the problem. It's really easy to over-complicate a problem in your head. So when you train yourself to break it down to the basics, it helps alleviate that problem.

[@Alvan81]

Yep. I used to be 3rd tier tech support IT. Got in a shouting match once with a young hothead, because I had a hunch the way the software was acting, that when he reset the 4 pieces of equipment, the sequence was wrong. He and another person had worked on it for 90 minutes. He claimed I was insulting his intelligence. Like you say, in our case frustration was a big distraction/ barrier.

[@ChadtheHammer]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@brand0nabe]

Didn't notice the foreshadowing in this scene until my 3rd watch, really brilliantly done, subtle but clear: "He thinks of the simplest things first." Carl is a deeply moral man, though with severely limited ability to think critically, or deeply reason. Most of us, as we grow older, we learn to compromise, rationalize, and follow rules we may not like or totally agree with. Carl sees a problem, something he knows is wrong, comes up with the simplest, most straightforward way to solve it. And so he kills his mothers lover. He kills his Mother. And he kills Doyle. Convinced it was right. And the rest of us watching are left with a real moral dilemma.

[@fjccommish]

Nope. He has a great ability to think critically, to deeply reason. Many of us compromise with evil. Karl won't. He was right in killing those people. He killed evil people to protect innocent people. The only moral dilemma is in those who lack critical thinking, deep reason, morality.

[@robertl.clayton7645]

Turned on? plugged into your computer? etc. People think it's patronizing, until you hit upon the one thing they didn't think of.
