This film Beast of the Southern Wild directed Nenh Zeiltlin beings with a fearless six-year old named Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis) who lives with her father, Wink (Dwight Henry). They live a southern Louisiana delta community that is cut off from the rest of the world called "the Bathtub". Hushpuupy is a free spirit with an extraordinary imagination. She is nearly an orphan when her father goes missing for a while and she has to fend for herself. When he returns he has a hospital bracelet on, which Hushpuppy's young minded self does not understand. The get into a really big argument that ends with Hushpuppy burning down a part of their house.
A storm hits their community they begin to flee. With Hushpuppy's six year old imagintion running wild, she believes the storm is a beast trying g to attack the bayou. Wink and Hushpuppy begin to gather their things and get in the back of a pick up truck until the storm passes along with many of the other Bathtube residents. Two days go by and the storm is finally over. Both Wink and Hush puppy alone with the other residents try to stay hopeful now that their community is torn apart. Their father, daughter bond grows tremendously thought the days after the storm. It wasn't until the community was taking in by the cops where Hushpuppy learns that her father is sick. She realizes that there might be a day were her harsh loving father may no longer be there. So she sets put to find her mother who she has never met.
I believe "The Beast of the Southern Wild" is a very heart warming film. Quvenzhane Wallis who plays Hushpuppy brought a great sense of innocent to the character who was born into harsh living conditions with nothing but a rough living father.
