There are not many movies which show this, but the persons and environments in this film are a reality for millions of people in the US .
Living in plywood shacks or trailers, having dismal education and little understanding of social interaction , they are arguably amongst the most neglected beings in any Western society .
And the most useless, too , ....

Met many of them in Pennsylvania
shareLol ... I work for usda rural development ... You just described the average day at the office for me.
shareWe here at imdb are blessed with the good fortune of having these unprepossessing woodsfolk available to mount jackalopes and serve as alien abduction fodder etc. etc. as we casually discuss their plight from the comfort of designer desk chairs crafted by pygmy chinese school children hee hee lucky lucky us!
shareI live in the woods--what are you saying? j/k (but I do live in the woods)

I'm on the road less traveled...
OP is a complete and utter moron, just the type that gets all their information and history from Hollywood movies instead of actually experiencing reality. Hollywood and this director don't know the first thing about people who live in that part, everything is a cliche and over exaggeration, just like Hollywood's version of the ghetto and people who live in the ghetto. I think the OP just wanted a excuse to lash out and call them "useless" based on what they saw in a movie in the safety of their moms basement.
shareNot agreeing with the judgements but this movie hit home for me. I have lived in Arkansas most of my childhood and Western Pennsylvania near W.Virginia most of my adulthood. So, yes, there are whole landscapes full of tiny towns just like is portrayed here.
If you want to see a fun take on rural life, take a look at Sam Rockwell's movie Box Of Moonlight from 1996 I think. Filmed in Tennessee and also beautiful - a very different film, an Indie.

I totally don't agree with OP's 'useless' characterization
"A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves."
it was cliche, but stereotypes tend to usually hold water. so ya, i guess its some of that white privledge i hear about. we def need to put money into these areas every bit as much as inner cities (who need it, as well) before supporting refugee brigades and illegals.
I DO CROSSWORD PUZZLES IN PEN CUZ IM JUST THAT CONFIDENT
That single first shot is an embarrassment. No self respecting hunter would shoot at an unidentified target. Especially if poaching, you would not miss and have to track a wounded deer! You should hear us make fun of you stoopid, useless flatlanders. Venison is good eatin! What you eat? a lot of processed food? Who would wanna interact with you anyhow?

I have heard of cases where hunters have shot at targets sight un-seen, and in all cases were not local people, but visitors from the "big city." Real hunters do not shoot at targets they cannot identify 100 percent.
