It was violent. It was about violence. That’s why. And to me Three Billboards is probably the best movie since Crash.
I’m reading Song of Solomon (my daughter recommended it), and here’s something Toni Morrison said about anger, through one of her characters:
“Listen, baby, people do funny things. Specially us. The cards are stacked against us and just trying to stay in the game, stay alive and in the game, makes us do funny things. Things we can’t help. Things that make us hurt one another. We don’t even know why. But look here, don’t carry it inside and don’t give it to nobody else.”
I think the whole country needs Anger Management. I think it should be a required class in high school.
Don’t know context of book. Never read Toni Morrison. But will definitely see the movie. Thanks for the review. I wonder if Anger Management classes work. I am skeptical.

I think they could work if done the right way. Just seeing that movie helped, I think!
