"Scorned" is a movie about a girl name Danielle. Throughout her life Danielle never knew her father. She never knew any family but her mother, Patricia. Although, Danielle's mother was loving, caring, and kind the men in her life were cruel, disrespectful, and abusive. At a young age Danielle witnessed men abuse, destroy and break her mother. This caused Danielle to really have hate towards men and even more of hate towards her father. Danielle's hatred towards men caused her to never trust them and ultimately caused her to become a serial killer towards men.
"Scorned" was definitely a good movie. You would never think someone in Danielle's situation would end up like that. African American communities have a high percentage of single mothers. I could definitely relate to Danielle because as a child she experienced a lot of pain. Danielle's father abandonment issues to her mother tolerating disrespectful men within their lives. "Scorned" takes you on a real journey. The journey of a forgotten child in a sense. Danielle was just like many other children in that situation, she suppressed it but never sought help. I think the point where Danielle decided that every man was evil was the scene with her mother. Danielle was coming home from school, and witnessed her mother being abused in front of her. Danielle had heard it, seen the bruises, but never physically saw it happen in front of her eyes, Patricia's boyfriend at the time, was a drunk, lazy, and did nothing for the betterment of Danielle or her mother.
In the movie the first murder that Danielle committed was very symbolic. She had graduated from college, found a good job and was working in the corporate world. Something she had always wanted so that she would never have to rely on a man, she valued her independence. Danielle was working under Devin Smith, a prominent investment banker, who seemed like a respectable gentlemen, then one night of late working he tried to force his self on Danielle and though it was by accident Danielle did enjoy stabbing Devin in the neck with those scissors. At that moment Danielle felt she had done society, her mom, and herself a justice.
"Scorned" does not have you look at Danielle as a villain but rather as a female Robin Hood. In her mind she felt the killings were a way of judgement. In her eyes the men she murdered were the real villains. They were the ones causing society harm and it was her duty to ensure that no one experience that type of injustice. This movie had me looking at the opposite sex differently. Don't get me wrong I'm not about to be like Danielle and go on murder killing spree, but I do feel that women in a way are victimized and too many do not come forward but suffer in silence, until they finally snap.
The ending was very bittersweet. Danielle had murdered so many men. But she still felt that void, that anger. She felt the only way to fix that void was to kill her father. The man who ultimately in her mind was responsible for all the damage in her life.I felt that this part was very metaphoric. Danielle in her own way felt that she would never receive closer until she finally murdered her father. Just like many people who grow up without a certain parent there is always that want to get questions answered, receive that closure needed to finally move on and live life.
The conclusion was a stunning yet display of irony. This ending is so unforeseen that viewers will watch it over and over again this is a seat gripping suspense that will leave viewers captivated. I would give this movie 5/5 stars. We all can relate to being scorned.
