A 2000 Horror/Mystery Fiction film directed by Sam Raimi, written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson, and starring Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear, Hilary Swank and Kim Dickens.Annie Wilson is a young widow trying to make ends meet in a small town in Alabama as a clairvoyant. She's booked around the clock by those seeking advice, but the rest of the town sees her either as a liar or a witch. Annie is called upon by those who normally don't ask for her help, however, when the daughter of the richest man in town goes missing and the investigation hits a brick wall. As she tries to help the investigation, being contacted by the ghost of the missing woman the whole time, her normal duties of being a widowed mother and advising some locals with some very real problems of their own begins to fall apart.Not to be confused with The Gift (2015). | |

Foreshadowing: Early into Jessica’s disappearance, Annie has a vision of a pond with white lilies growing nearby which is where Jessica was found dead. Lilies, especially white ones, are often a symbol of death and are often displayed at funerals. Buddy, while protecting Miller from Donnie, frantically yells at the latter older man to pull the gun at his head and kill him. Near the end, Annie learns that Buddy killed himself. | |

What You Are in the Dark: Donnie had given Annie nothing but grief — harassing both her and her sons as well as being a jerk in general. So, when she discovers that he's not Jessica's killer, she decides to find out who the real killer is. She makes no secret of her dislike of the man, but also can't let an innocent man be imprisoned. | |

Monochrome Casting | |
| The Gift (2000) / int_ce0b2b21 | comment |
Monochrome Casting: Pretty much everyone who appears on screen is white. The setting is a small, rural town in the Deep South, so it doesn't strain credulity too hard. | |

Struggling Single Mother | |
| The Gift (2000) / int_d6f544aa | comment |
Struggling Single Mother: A downplayed version. Annie makes a nice income and has some help looking after her sons, but is still grieving their father's death and must deal with her eldest son acting out. | |

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read | |
| The Gift (2000) / int_ddfb4e53 | comment |
A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Averted, though subtly implied. Annie goes on a rant about how the entire situation is the exact opposite of fun when accused of enjoying the theatrical trial, of which she has been made the main attraction. That same trial asked her to read the defense attorney's mind, but she can't. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
| The Gift (2000) / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: Buddy does this in the most extreme way imaginable — he sets his father in flames because the latter sexually abused him and also angrily yells at his mother for knowing about the abuse but not stopping it. | |

Shown Their Work: In preparation for her role as Annie, Cate Blanchett visited five different psychics in one week. Keanu Reeves and Hilary Swank (who play Donnie and Valerie respectively) also visited local abuse counselors to better understand why men abuse their wives and why women stay with abusive spouses. | |
