| POISON (1991) | |

|
Haynes attempts to present a concept through three different stories or perspectives, "Hero", "Horror", and "Homo". The three stories interject one another in crucial moments leaving the audience thinking about what Haynes is trying to tell us. In "Hero", a child is painted as a trouble maker who shot his abusive father when he was attacking his deceitful mother. The second story, "Horror", depicts a scientist who is in the search of truth, but by mistake becomes contaminated as a leper. "Homo" presents the story of a gay convict who has grown up in institutions and jails where he meets another guy who went to the same reformatory school as him. The film will leave the audience pondering and reflecting what the stories had in common. |
