An important disclaimer about Black Snake Moan. The snakes are metaphorical -- they did not follow Samuel L. Jackson off the plane.
In fact, there are absolutely no snakes in the entire film. There is a beaten and bruised blonde woman clad only in her underwear chained to a heater. But no snakes.
After his wife unceremoniously leaves him for his brother, Lazarus (Jackson) finds his chance for new life in Rae (Christina Ricci), an oversexed and reckless young woman who is desperately seeking something. Shockingly, whatever it is she's searching for, it's not to be found by having sex with lots of men. In an attempt to cure Rae of her wicked ways, Lazarus nurses her back to health after she is beaten and left on the side of road, ultimately chaining her to the house to ensure she does not escape.
