Beasts of the Southern Wild

Beasts of the Southern Wild 

The movie is based on a strong female protagonist named "Hushpuppy." The movie takes place in Louisiana at an off grid area of where there isn't [aren't] any laws or any type of democracy [???] that regulate the people. Hushpuppy is a little girl that has the lead role of trying to survive with her father, Wink. Hushpuppy was a mostly an independent girl who's [whose is possessive; who's is a contraction of 'who is'] mother left her because she wasn't ready to take care of something beautiful [interesting idea].Wink, would try to teach her to be more masculine, in case if he isn't there. Hushpuppy knew how to cook and take care of herself at any early age [not necessarily traditional 'male' gender roles]. She would speak to the chickens and animals and talk on how they have feelings, just as humans [good]. 

The film to me was like a poem. The "Bathtub" was the place Wink and Hushpuppy lived in. There was scenes when "Aurochs" who were large beasts that looked like huge boars with the size of a house, that related to the characters in the story. Aurochs were huge beasts that were always together, searching for food and surviving with one another. They were representing Hushpuppy, for her being a strong women [female] protagonist.

Wink would teach her how to be strong and fierce, just like him. When there was a storm occurring, he would fight the storm by shooting in the air with a shotgun. He would also teach how to fish, kill crabs and to "no crying" to his daughter. SPOILER ALERT!!! Wink also had a heart problem, the movie showed he had a heart problem when Hushpuppy hit his chest during an argument. 

The bathtub environment was dying, because of a Levee, which confined the flow of rivers,making the water flood in the Bathtub, just as how Hushpuppy's father was dying. When he passed away, due to a blood disease, it was deeply sad on how she saw her own father die. Thus, the movie tends on showing on how Hushpuppy was able to save herself, she leaves behind a definition of being another model as her mother; genuine, determination and caring.
