Arvin may have had his dark morals, but deep down, but he was still a caring person with a conflicted, tough life going down the wrong path! HE DESERVED BETTER!
Im not sure how to explain but there's something in that first scene, when grandma enters with his cake and you see he was smoking mindlessly, in a room lit with only one, dim bulb, something about the way he snub out the cigarette and the whole atmosphere just feels so REAL, it's like im watching a real family back in my modest hometown, like im seeing something little me saw when i was visiting my neighbour for dad's card games. This movie's atmosphere is so spot on and holland really sells it
he was so fine in this movie, and his acting was nothing less than brilliant. it blows me how people think his character, arvin, was a villain. he was more an anti-hero if anything. but he sure as hell wasn't a villain.
I can't get over the way his eyes change when he finds out Lenora was pregnant. They go from sadness to sadness-mixed-anger in a matter of seconds. Tom Holland will win an Oscar one of these days. I can feel it!
The coroner told the officer that Lenora was pregnant when she died. Arvin said that was "bull shit." But the officer insisted that the coroner wasn't a liar. Arvin then puts two and two together that the preacher was responsible for it all.
@@amrutha.pkumaramrutha7650 Because 1) Lenora spent a lot of time alone with him, 2) The preacher didn't bother to say any words for her at her funeral, and 3) His "delusions" sermon was oddly specific. ("Some girl gets a feeling for a fella and lets him have her holy gift.")
@@amrutha.pkumaramrutha7650 Also when he came to kill the preacher, that’s when we found out that he had been spying on the preacher when the preacher was with other girls which then conclude that the preacher is a very bad man etc
