Anachronisms: Elvis Presley's appearance singing "Houndog" on the Milton Berle Show took place on June 5, 1956. Several of the vehicles used in the movie were newer than this. The pink Desoto (or Dodge) was probably a 1956, but it's not likely that a rural Alabama woman would be driving a new car. The tow truck used to tow the Desoto was a 1957 at the oldest, and it was quite beat up. The red Pontiac at the Elvis concert was a 1959. moreQuotes:
Lewellen: Oh my God, Daddy, guess what! I saw Elvis, and he blew a kiss just for me! Daddy, I saw Elvis!Daddy: You left me alone. You said you'd be back.
Lewellen: I am back.
Daddy: Well, you said you'd be right back, and you didn't come right back. I thought you were gone.
Lewellen: I'm sorry.
Daddy: You won't leave me, will you? Promise you'll stay with me for always. Promise you won't leave me again.
Lewellen: I promise.

I just watched the final Sundance screening of this film earlier this evening. It was excellent. I found it to a highly emotional film with a very powerful message. Also, Dakota Fanning has a beautiful voice for someone who had never sang before filming began. Not beautiful as in technically perfect, but beautiful in the way it conveyed the emotions of the character at the time. Just to clarify for all of those who haven't seen it, there is no pornography in this movie. In fact, Utah's Attorney General watched it for himself, and said that it does not break any laws and contains no child pornography. Please withhold judgment until you have actually seen it.
