Midterm Compare and contrast Winters Bone Vs. Beast of the Southern Wild

           

                 The two Movies, Beast of the Southern Wild and Winter’s Bone both have many similarities with the characters and the plot of the film. With both of the movies having a strong female protagonist main character. They both lean to solve problems on their own witch shows independence. In the movie Winters Bone the main character Ree played by Jenifer Lawrence, is show to be independent from the beginning when she is has to take care of her mother and siblings on her own while at the same time has to find her father in order to keep her house. She does this with no support from any of her family. On the other hand with Beast of the Southern Wild, the main character Hushpuppy played by Quvenzhane Wallis is tough to be independent by her father throughout the film as the struggle to keep them safe after a major storm hits them. After Hushpuppy's father dies she knows a lot about independence and how to survive from her father who makes her prepare for the world by her. With these two movies and these two characters they both share similar traits such as being independent, solving problems on their own, and taking care of others. I also noticed that with the two movies the father made the movie what it is. In Winters Bone Reed finding her father was the important and main plot of the story. Same with Beast of the Southern Wild. Without Hushpuppy's father she would not learn to be independence and wouldn’t make the film what it is. I believe these movies are very alike.
