I don't know those movies. I've lived in a few places and have been in Texas for the last 26 years. IMO Texas cities are friendlier than Indiana, less racist than Florida, and cheaper than Southern California. We tease that we set our watches back 20 years when we cross the river to Oklahoma. Rural and small town Texas can be totally different! I've been in a small town where an older gay couple runs the local coffee shop and it seems like the whole town hangs out there. I've been in a small town where i was afraid to go into a bar wearing a covid mask.
ETA- You sent me down a rabbit hole and now I'm about to watch Lone Star.
You should watch Hell or High Water. It's set in West Texas but the story has broader relevance and it's a great film.
Highly accurate description of Texas
It was great and yes, felt a lot like smaller towns today. How about the woman who came across the river but now hates people who do the same? I loved this exchange... Sheriff- "I'm going to the other side" Other guy- "Republican?" Sheriff- "No, Mexico."
Oh no I meant your description you wrote. Never seen the movie, was it worth it?
It was pretty good... Kris Kristofferson, Matthew McConaughey, ...
I'll check it out, any streaming services have it?
We watched it on peacock with commercials.
