A Love Song For Bobby Long Pt.3

A Love Song For Bobby Long

"Upon hearing of her mother's death, jaded teenage loner Purslane Hominy Will returns to New Orleans for the first time in years, ready to reclaim her childhood home. Expecting to find her late mother's house abandoned, Pursy is shocked to discover that it is inhabited by two of her mother's friends: Bobby Long, a former literature professor, and his young protégé, Lawson Pines. These broken men, whose lives took a wrong turn years before, have been firmly rooted in the dilapidated house for years, encouraged only by Lawson's faltering ambitions to write a novel about Bobby Long's life. Having no intention of leaving, Pursy, Bobby Long and Lawson are all forced to live together. Yet as time passes, their tenuous, makeshift arrangement unearths a series of buried personal secrets that challenges their bonds, and reveals just how inextricably their lives are intertwined."

"All I ask is your love" by Helen Humes @ 7:20 - love this old tune!

The song Barbara Allen is several hundred years old. It's an old English folk ballad.

It was also used in the 1950's movie 'A Christmas Carol' with Allistar Sims.

Does that tree still exist?!?!

@RicRagsLive Well, it serves making a young girl surrounded by old sleazebags feel extremely uncomfortable about her body and sexuality. Maybe that's all.

That was niether interesting nor an offensive story, I assume there is a backstory that they have not let us in on yet??

cause otherwise that scene was boring as hell for no reason.

It's a poem called Barbara Allen that's was made into a song and then changed a little for this movie. It's pretty old.
