"I can't shake no more"... "I can't sing"... .... this is the little girl that needs to break thru the door in my picture..... Stellar performance Dakota!
Her Wikipedia page shows that Dakota got no awards for her superlative acting in Hounddog. Damn, she's owed--she's really owed! (The adults were great too.) I have issues with the movie but certainly not the rape scene; it was beautifully done. I read that the movie was made in summer 06 when she was 12-1/2. It was a sharp break from her child roles & showed her skill as a heavy-lift dramatic actress. Lewellen is still my favorite of her performances! (Later, she named her dog "Lewellen"--nice!)
This looks like a fantastic film, even through Dakota was only a little kid here that plays a very controversy role for a young child, pretty disturbing to see a young child acting in that kind of way, but her acting was amazing and the film as well, it shows the full emotional of the acting played and the situations. I'm getting this on dvd from ebay. Dakota was only 12 when making this film. Highly Recommended film if u like drama films and these kinds of films.
loved this part in the movie...pluse, i liked the part when she sees elvis, and he winks at her and she goes all fangirly and starts screaming...hehe.
She was raped... The song brought back the memories because the boy who did it made her sing for him in her underwear so she could get tickets to see Elvis... Then he raped her
A girl who lives an abusive lifestyle finds solace in the sounds of Elvis Presley. when she is raped by an older boy, she spirals downwards into depression and self-destruction, then Charles (the guy with ehr there) teaches her to put her sorrow into blues music.
i think you should put a spoiler message or something in the description box since this is pretty much what the film leads up to! Just a thought, and Dakota is phenomenal in this film!
Every time I hear this song Dakota sings, I eventually cry. It's absolutely beautiful. This girl from Hound Dog movie had gone through a lot.
