Beast of the Southern Wild

Beast of the Southern Wild a film that was released in 2012, which contained a six year old girl named Hushpuppy. I've never seen such a young child so eager to find her lost mother while she lives with her father, Wink who shows very tough love to her at only six years but he actually prepares her for the real world and what it has in store for her, but he ends up containing really bad health conditions. Although Hushpuppy cares about her father, she is more concerned to find her lost mother. Hushpuppy and her friends end up swimming to a boat which led them to a floating bar in the water, while Hushpuppy was there she met a cook who might have been her mother, but since the woman seemed to not recognize her. But then the woman invited Hushpuppy to stay with her, but she declined because she knew she had to return home, her friends and her then returned home and when they did Hushpuppy confronted the aurochs. Once the aurochs left, she went home and said her final goodbyes to her dying father, Wink, as she listened to his final heartbeats. I must admit when I first began to watch this film, it seemed a bit confusing because it was hard for me to grasp what was going on, but once the film got deeper into its plot it seemed to clear up the story. It was a sad, but a very good drama film that I ended up enjoying to watch, just the plot of the story would make me highly recommend it to anyone.

Bonnie and Clyde 

     Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is a classic, all time favorite film about two adults Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Clyde is a criminal who just got out of prison and Bonnie is a waitress, when they first met they were intensely attracted to each other, there relationship was like no other. Bonnie was very enchant with his criminal history, while Clyde saw something in Bonnie that was simpatico to his goals in life. They joined forces to embark on a life of crimes, holding up banks, and money establishments, to make money and have a ton. C.W. was the mechanic who fixed any car that Bonnie and Clyde needed in order to get away. I learned to know from this film, at least 13 murders including two policemen, as well as several robberies and kidnappings. The spree continued until Bonnie and Clyde were betrayed and shot to the death at a police roadblock in Louisiana on May 23, 1934.  Although this film presented a very confusing scenario/background, it still caught my high interest to continue watching it, it was very eye-catching and had one of my most favorites which was love stories. Yes, Bonnie and Clyde were criminals and committed horrible crimes, but they were in love and did anything for each other, in order to do what they thought was best for them, so this romance of the movie really caught my attention and made me love this film!
