DVD Reviews of Ruby's Bucket of Blood
DVD Review: Stellar cast, winning combination...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was very well acted by a cast of talented actors and actresses, particularly Angela Bassett in the titular role of Ruby Delacroix. The story is ultimately a story about searching for freedom--leaving an all-too-familiar place, both figuratively and literally. This is embodied in Emerald Delacroix (Jurnee Smollett), Ruby's fifteen-year-old daughter who knows and understands that both she and her mother are meant for more than their small town in Louisiana. The struggle between them is Ruby's initial reluctance to embrace change, while Emerald refuses to settle. There's also Earl Delacroix (Brian Stokes Mitchell), who coldly rejects his wife and her small-town ways. Upon further examination, we learn that Earl has left his family because of a need to explore his options outside of their small town (Emerald takes after her father in this regard; in fact, in their last conversation, he tells her that she's "just as good as anybody else; even better than most"). It is Billy Dupre who finally challenges views that Ruby has held close to her heart and gets her to step outside of her comfort zone. Even though things end tragically for them, it gives Ruby the courage to break free of societal restraints and leave her hometown and do what she wants to do, once and for all. The movie ends with Ruby and Emerald leaving their hometown behind, free to live their lives the way they see fit--and not how their racist society feels they should.
