Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) By Andrew Barrick


Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)

I found Beasts of the Southern Wild to be a well crafted independent film. High praise to the cast and crew of the film, who came up with a story of finding love and bravery. Interesting, the film struck a chord with me in regards to the all volatile weather that we see in the Gulf of Mexico (ie. Hurricanes Katrina & Isaac). As we have discussed in the War & Cinema class, the film contains elements of memory, between a young Hushpuppy and Wink. Beasts of the Southern Wild also explores the identity of a band of neighbors who join together to survive after the melting of the polar ice caps.
