Added DiffLines:

* AwardSnub: While the film was critically acclaimed and won various critics' and regional awards, the Oscars only nominated the film in the Best Screenplay category.
* CompleteMonster: [[DirtyCop Sheriff Charlie Wade]] was the [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist]], crooked chief lawman of 1950s Rio County. Focusing on minority criminals, Charlie [[IOwnThisTown forces them to cut him in on their activities]] and wracks up bodies to the point [[TheDreaded his mere person causes dread]]. To get away with his murders, Charlie tricks his victims into "showing" him their weapons, giving reason to claim they were armed while he was "forced" to shoot them, trying so on a young man and forcing his disgusted underling to kill Charlie to free the citizens from him.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Delmar finding out that his DisappearedDad Otis was watching Del's career in the military with pride, [[spoiler: and the movie ending on the note that all three generations of the Payne family are coming to terms with each other.]]
* MagnificentBastard: [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Buddy Deeds]] took over as Sheriff of Rio County after [[FramedForHeroism masterminding the coverup]] of the killing of his crooked predecessor Charlie Wade. A [[NominalHero well-meaning but also self-interested man]], Buddy brings prosperity to the county and diplomatically reducing racial tensions, while also ousting lakefront residents to claim the property for himself. [[MistakenForRacist Seen as racist]] by his son Sam for keeping him from dating a Mexican girl, in reality Buddy forces them apart for being Sam's half-sister born to Buddy's mistress.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/ChandraWilson, who would later become known as [[Series/GreysAnatomy Dr. Miranda Bailey]], plays Athena.
