This
will have spoilers. I watched this movie from a few years back called
Bernie after Cam suggested it. I had never heard of this movie or the
true story it was based off of. It stars Jack Black as Bernie Tiede.
He is a funeral director that ends up being the partner of this 81
year old woman and the next thing you know her ass is shot dead in
the garage and she is tossed in the freezer. The problem is...if this
guy goes to trial he will get off because the town loves him so
damned much!
Bernie
comes into this small town in Texas where he quickly makes the place
nicer. Everyone wants to be friends with him and he helps everyone
out. He meets this new widow named Marjorie Nugent that everyone
hates. He keeps working on her until they become friends and possibly
lovers. No one is quite sure. Over time she takes over his life and
belittles him until eventually she ends up under some corn and pot
pies in the freezer.
This
movie was so good. They used some real townspeople used in the movie
during interview segments so it gave it a real documentary type
feeling. These weren't actors talking trash about this poor old lady
that was murdered. They were real people and till this day they still
think that Bernie is innocent even after admitting that he shot this
woman in cold blood. If you get the chance to, check this movie out.
Its definitely worth watching.
