Possession is a 2002 American/British romantic/mystery drama film written and directed by Neil LaBute, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. It was based on the 1990 novel of the same name by British author A. S. Byatt, who won the Booker Prize for it the year it was published.
A fictional story of literary scholars American Roland Mitchell (Aaron Eckhart) and British Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), who independently find that the socially antagonistic relationship between the Victorian era poets Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam) and Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle) may have concealed a secret connection as lovers. Ash is traditional and conservative and LaMotte is a freethinking bisexual. Rival scholars become aware of their efforts and each seeks to be the first at the public disclosure of this major finding about the poets. In a parallel relationship, Mitchell and Bailey have their own deepening connection.
A group of mostly black infantrymen return from the Spanish-American War with a cache of gold. They travel to the West where their leader searches for the men who lynched his father.

Father Time: The Red Man ain't got no problem with the Black Man. As for you, White Boy, that's a whole different story.

Disillusioned and disheartened by the betrayal of their white commander, Colonel Graham (Billy Zane, Titanic) the men return to their hometown of Freemanville to find it besieged by a racist war. Lead by Jessie Lee (Mario Van Peebles, Ali) the posse set out to revolutionise the west, to seek freedom and respect in a heartless and unforgiving world. Mario Van Peebles leads an impressive field of talent into the frontier in a dynamic western adventure that spins the genre in a new and exciting direction. Featuring Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Isaac Hayes (Escape From New York), Stephen Baldwin, Tone Loc, Nip...
A publicity-hungry U.S. Marshal (Kirk Douglas) doesn't just hunt down and capture fugitives, he makes sure a photographer is around to record his crime-fighting exploits and bolster his political aspirations. In POSSE the lawman soon discovers that fame may be fleeting when he sets his sights on his No. 1 target: cool-witted robber Jack Strawhorn (Bruce Dern). Bo Hopkins, James Stacy and Alfonso Arau co-star in this crafty Western that asks the question: Just who is the real bad guy?

But Posse fails on all counts. Not only is it a fairly generic and boring action flick, it wastes a genuinely interesting concept by soaking every scene in camp. It often pays lip service to the notion of social commentary, but its messages are so throwaway that they might as well have focused on making a better western. http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/posse.html

I don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your
Social scene
I don't wanna be
Be in your front seat girl
I know I'm your recruit
But I ain't gonna follow suit
You got morrissey, joy division on cd
But I don't go for them
I can't move to that beat
I like Marvin Gaye and gospel music
My soul and my heart
But you call it noise
You always spoil my favourite parts
I don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna
Be caught in your social machine
don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
it's not my scene
i don't need your company
You're skipping school 'cause it's cool
But it's not for me
I learned to dream
I learned to read at this old academy
You're out make every man
Your fleeting dream
But I'm a one-man woman
I'm all down with monogamy
You cuss and curse
So they think
That you're rough and tough
But I like Shakespeare
And I find "dammit" heavy enough
You like new age
All the rage, philosophy
But I don't read my palms
I read the psalms
They speak to me
Don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna
Be caught in your social machine
Don't wanna be in your posse girl
It's not my scene, all of the aristocracy
It's not you
Maybe I'm just to pedantic
I'm a self-confessed
Idealist and romantic
You say 'join the gang
Be my yang and I'll be your yin'
But try as I might
I'm not your type, I don't fit in
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
It's not your fault
And I send my apologies
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your
social scene
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
You're a trip
But I don't flip on your ecstasy
I don't wanna be in your posse girl
Trust me, you'll see, we're yin and yang
That's my prophecy
