So I
watched this new film called Paper Moon with Ryan O'Neal and his
daughter Tatum O'Neal with Beastman and H. I had kinda heard of this
film in that I knew that Tatum had won an Oscar at the age of 10
and...that's about it. It's the story of a con man named Moses Pray
(I say flim flam man) that goes around to the family of people who
recently died and saying that they ordered a specially made bible
right before they died and collecting the cash from them. Its a
pretty shitty way to scam folks.
Moses
heads to a funeral of a woman and as soon as he gets there this lady
is like “Hey, you look like this little girl so she must be your
daughter and you should take her to her family because you seriously
have the same jaw as her so take her to St. Louis!” The little
girl, Addie, goes with him and eventually starts running these scams
with him. They start with charging more for the bibles, running cash
register schemes, and eventually getting around to robbing a
bootlegger. Bad idea. When they got to that point I knew that someone
was gonna get their ass kicked.
