Directed by Danish director Susanne Bier, Serena is a 2014 Period Piece drama based on Ron Rash's novel of the same name. Set in the Smoky Mountains during The Great Depression, it is about George Pemberton (played by Bradley Cooper), a timber company owner who meets a mysterious blonde woman, Serena (Jennifer Lawrence). They marry and she comes with him to live at the site of his company, where she quickly joins him in taking charge of the work. While George deals with plans by the government to turn the woods into a national park, Serena becomes pregnant with his child. Then things go downhill fast...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Has nothing to do with the freeware adventure game of the same name. Don't confuse it with the 1997 biopic Selena either. | |

Dangerous Workplace | |
| Serena / int_3b4f2811 | comment |
Dangerous Workplace: As the national park people point out, the timber camp is a pretty unsafe place to work. Over the course of the film, one worker is pinned down by a fallen log, another is bitten by a snake and loses his foot, Galloway loses a hand to an unfortunate axe swing. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Serena / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Discussed during a presentation advocating conserving the Smoky Mountains. The national park advocates stress the importance of preserving American wildlife. George counters that the lumber industry provides much-needed jobs. The national park advocates counter that the lumber industry pays its workers next to nothing and pockets the profits for themselves. George counters that it's still more than what most employers pay, which is why there's a line 50+ long every time there's a job opening. The national park advocates counters that there are such frequent job openings due to the high mortality rate of the Dangerous Workplace. George counters that most Americans know the job is dangerous but are still proud to sign on. Most of the "average American workers" in the room cheer. It's hard to tell who is truly in the right, if at all. | |
