What do you think of this interpretation of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"?

"Black Hearts Bleed Red" short film

The theme and setting of this film is similar to the "A good the Man is hard to find," but it is unbelievable that the grandmother is so young. Personality wise, the young grandmother has no religion, no shame of herself. It is not a good interpretation of the Flannery O'Connor's story.

I agree, Yanni. I think this film totally misses the mark with its outlandish interpretation! The portrayal of the grandmother is so unusual, for it completely fails to acknowledge O'Connor's depiction of a flawed Christian "lady." Instead, this short film simply portrays her as a godless bimbo, and that choice severely limits this interpretation's potential and value.
