What I always found hilarious is that Bobbie Gentry doesn't care what the reason is for the suicide and says the song focuses on the family:
[quote] Those questions are of secondary importance in my mind. The story of Billie Joe has two more interesting underlying themes. First, the illustration of a group of people's reactions to the life and death of Billie Joe, and its subsequent effect on their lives, is made. Second, the obvious gap between the girl and her mother is shown when both women experience a common loss (first Billie Joe, and later, Papa), and yet Mama and the girl are unable to recognize their mutual loss or share their grief.
The movie is completely the creation of screenwriters divorced from the actual creator's vision.

No, R57. In a small-town Southern community, homosexuality marks you. There would have been talk forever.

Speaking for myself, I could not have done that. No way, no matter what.

Completely different issue. A pregnancy ended, or a child given up for adoption, and a woman can put it behind her, provided no one in town knows. But homosexuality is forever.

You're looking at it through 21st century eyes, R57, through the eyes of someone who has experience. Not through the eyes of a 1970s teenager who's tasted it for the first time and realizes there will never be anything else for him, and can't live with his family finding out, which they unquestionably would in time.

Maybe Billy impregnated The Girl. He takes her to some old woman who lives in a shack in the backwoods to have an abortion. After the abortion, Billy Joe and The Girl take the aborted fetus out to the Tallahatchie Bridge have a memorial for it before disposing of it by throwing it off the bridge. Billy Joe, consumed with guilt over the pregnancy and abortion, commits suicide. I always though that was the most plausible explanation.

I'm pretty sure she never said anything like that, [r125]. Gentry has always been very coy about anything pertaining to this song...and anyway, I've been to that bridge. It's fairly close to the water and I don't think you could kill yourself by jumping off of it.

R131 as far as I know Bobbie Gentry never publicly stated why the boy killed himself.
After last June 3rd I ordered the DVD. I’ve watched it twice along with the eight minute 55 second documentary short “ Bobbie Gentry a voice of the South“
Concerning Gentry’s knowledge of the motive for the boy’s suicide I went to Wikipedia (which is not always 100% accurate, unfortunately) and read this passage
“When Herman Raucher met Gentry in preparation for writing a novel and screenplay based on the song, she said that she had no idea why Billie Joe killed himself.“

I just discovered this it Wikipedia
The bridge is steps from now-ruined Bryant's Grocery and Meat Market, where 14-year-old Emmett Till allegedly whistled at the co-owner in 1955, resulting in the boy's lynching. His body was sunk in the Tallahatchie River.

Maybe they would if the abortionist was an old woman who lived in a shack in the woods somewhere out in Hicksville. It's possible The Girl and Billy Joe asked for the remnants of their child in order to give it a decent farewell. I think it's a very plausible scenario.

Billy Joe isn't called a fag in the film. However, Bobbie Lee calls him "one of those men" or "those kinds of men." That does not sit well with BJ and likely gave him the push to kill himself. She couldn't fuck the gay out of him.

You just don't GET it, do you? They were white trash, hicks, rednecks. Saying a prayer and throwing their aborted child from the bridge probably seemed, to them, like a decent thing to do. I suppose it seemed like a ritual. It was certainly better than having the abortionist throw it in the trash for dogs to eat.

Young James Best was pretty hot in that dirty Southern white boy way. He was still handsome in Ode, though about a biscuit or two from morphing into Roscoe.
I haven’t watched the movie in forever, but I remember BJ running off after the jamboree. BL found him and that’s when he admitted to her that he’d been with a man.
The flashback scene was purposely confusing due to the delicate natures of the day, but I think drunken BJ thought he’d dabble with a budget whore in the hooker pavilion but ended up with our man Roscoe (and he liked it!). My memory is fuzzy here, because I’ve probably watched too many heavily cut versions, but Dewey might have been wearing a robe or, god love him, a caftan. My guess is he saw his chance and set up a glory hole-like situation to sample the menfolk of the town, but took it further when he realized how fucked up BJ was.
BJ should have packed his bags for Atlanta like any good gay boy from the South, but decided to take his own life.
Later on, Dewey runs into BL as she’s leaving town. He admits that it was him in the tent and she shouldn’t leave when he was the one who was to blame. BL says she’s still leaving so everyone thinks BJ knocked her up and killed himself because of it. I guess she thought that was more heroic, though I thought he still seemed like a crybaby little shit either way. The whole town assumed she was pregnant, anyhow, so she saved Dewey’s ass.
I wonder what Dewey did for Jamboree the next year?

The film ode to Billy Joe is set in 1953 and at that time Billy had already been out of high school at least one year.
So Billy was born about 1934.

He may have been bisexual, but it still doesn't look good that a much older man took advantage of a drunk Billy Joe. Being that drunk, he would not have been able to give his consent. His boss should have been thrown in jail.

I think Billy Joe was just Frat Drunk [I don't remember a thing about last night, bro] and not really drunk.....he was presenting his hole like the slut he is....no wonder Fat Cop tagged it. It was free and its owner was more than willing.
Kinda like fishing at midnight......

Where did you get that the rapist was a cop? Wasn't he the owner of the lumber place BJ worked at? He had likely been eyeing Billy Joe for some time. He waited until the perfect moment to set his plan in motion. Get the twink drunk, make him think he is going to get pussy, then jump him and take what you think you are entitled to.

Glynnis O'Connor and Robby Benson were an "item" at one time, which I guess is why they were in several productions together. They certainly seemed to complement each other well. I thought they were perfect ad George and Emily in a production of "Our Town" that was shown on PBS. It also starred Ned Beatty, Sada Thompson, Barbara Bel Geddes, Ronnie Cox and Hal Holbrook (who was also perfect in his role) as The Stage Manager.

Ryan Murphy will do the reboot and cast Billy Porter as Billy Joe with Patti Lupone as the boss who takes advantage of and rapes Billy Joe. BJ kills himself because he fears he is now hetero. Billy Porter will perform a sad song right before he jumps to his death.

I wonder if it was controversial for Robbie to take this role. Or if the movie itself was deemed controversial at the time. Does anyone remember if there was a disclaimer before the movie?
by Anonymous | reply 309 | August 24, 2020 9:13 PM |
No disclaimers. There is a statement that the movie was filmed on location as described in the song. That was a good decision, as the movie doesn't look like California, as so many do.
The 15 year old girl talked like Blanche DuBois. Once you get accustomed to the dialogue, though, it becomes part of the fabric of the film.

The whole hooker warehouse scene was disturbing. Billy Joe looked terrified at having to entertain the ladies.
by Anonymous | reply 311 | August 29, 2020 2:06 AM |
i think that's the sequence: sometime off camera and earlier, BJ and Rosco did the nasty.
BJ tries to fuck a hooker at the popup whorehouse, but realizes that it won't work. he doesn't want to fuck women.
he used to think he was in love with BL, but it was just childhood friendship. she tries to have sex with him which he can't complete, and he realizes he doesn't have a future in that town. too poor and hopeless to get out, to young to see any other options. he is just a working class kid in a sawmill, after all.
because she is a dreamer which expands her range of possibilities (and maybe a striver--outhouses aren't good enough for her), the girl then takes off. she doesn't think that it matters what the town thinks of her, because they already think she is on the road to slut-dom, but she did care about BL and tries to salvage his rep. she doesn't have a future in that town either, but she knows she has to get out.
sounds poetic. doesn't sound like it reflects the song very well, though because the song is skeletal in meaning. could be any kind of doomed love affair.
by Anonymous | reply 312 | August 29, 2020 2:19 AM |
The kid had options. He could have married Bobbie Lee while continuing to fuck guys in secret. I seriously doubt it was love between Rosco and BJ. He didn't have to jump.
What makes you think they fucked before the hooker free for all?
