This is my favorite scene from the movie which is named Eveβs Bayou and it is because of the story- telling & imaginary and the metaphors I love it β€οΈ

Narrator Of Eveβs Bayou: βThe town we lived in was named after a slave. It was said that when General John Paul Batiste was stricken with cholera, his life was saved by the powerful medicine of an African slave woman called Eve. In return for his life, he freed her, and gave her this piece of land by the Bayou. Perhaps in gratitude, she bore him sixteen children. We are the descendants of Eve and John Paul Batiste. I was named for her.β
Tell me about Hosea.
- You're too young to understand.
But when I was with Hosea, it was
like my whole body was burning.
I'd come home, I'd have to rub ice
on my face and neck to cool down.
If Maynard knew, he never said a word.
And then one night, Hosea
showed up at the door.
He said, "pack your bags, woman. I've come
to take you with me. And God help me..."
I pushed past my startled husband. I
was going upstairs to pack my bags,
when I heard Maynard say, in a
tone I'd never heard him use,
"I don't care who you are, sir,
"but if you don't leave my house
at once, I will hurt you."
And I turned just in time to see Hosea
pull the gun out and aim it at Maynard.
"I'm in love with your wife, and if
you try to stop us, I'll kill you."
Maynard walked right up and pushed
his chest in the barrel of that gun,
and he said,
"Well, then,
"you'll have to kill me, because
my wife ain't going nowhere."
Oh, Eve...
In that moment, I knew that I loved Maynard.
He was so calm and brave, and it
was Hosea who was trembling.
Maynard said...
"Mozelle...
"tell this man you ain't going nowhere with
him, so he can get the hell out of my house."
Mama was standing in the
doorway of the kitchen,
and she was holding her heart like this.
I walked slowly over...
And I stood next to my husband,
And I looked at my lover,
this man who had lit this great fire in me,
and I said, please, leave our house.
I never want to see you again.
Hosea's eyes went another color,
and he stopped trembling.
He looked right at me,
- And he said...
- HOSEA: All right then.
[Gunshot]
And he shot Maynard in the chest.
And I was alone... for a while.
