"Beasts of the Southern Wild"
This movie is a blast of sheer, improbable joy, a boisterous, thrilling action movie with a protagonist who can hold her own.
This film is a remarkable creation, imagining a self-reliant community without the safety nets of the industrialized world.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" is a must see film. I am glad I had the opportunity to attend the showing at Eckerd College, Friday night.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" was a fantatic film! It takes a very talented director to capture the raw emotion of real life. The use of music, sound, and imagery made the "beasts" come to life.
ReplyDeleteI was truly speachless and taken back by the lifestyle,and the complete abandonment to nature. It is not hard to imagine the beasts and to feel the raw emotions of a young girl left to care for herself at a very young age. She finally conquered the beasts (her fears) and showed the world that she was here to stay. Maybe a difficult movie to watch for some of us, but a must see for everyone! The director picked the right people for the rols of the Father and young Daughter.I hope to see more of them in the future.
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed how the characters developed, especially hushpuppy, she was quite a firecracker! We watched & saw how she matured before our eyes on the screen. When the movie opened, she was a child, but by the end, she was helping her father seek closure. Many of us wait out whole lives to do this, but Hushpuppy's environment & circumstances gave her no time to wait. She was truly a strong little girl!
ReplyDeleteThis movie was superb. The depiction of the beast each time it entered a scene. I sensed the strength and power release through sound and size.
