Beast of the Southern Wild


The independent film Beast of the Southern Wild produced by Benh Zeitlin in 2012 is an reality science fiction film and about a girl named Hushpuppy, who lives in an uncivilized place in Lousianna. Her mom died when she was young and her relationship to her dad isn't the best because he isn't happy with his life so he drinks the whole day. Which makes it hard for him to understand his daughter's excitement to explore the ''world''. So that makes the relationship difficult but one thing is important for him to teach her. "She is her own man". She can decide what she wants to do and who she wants to be, no one can tell her. She doesn't has to look like a girl in a pink dress just because this is how girls have to dress. If she wants to, she can look like a boy and that's okay. 

I liked the end of the film a lot made me think. 
The acting of Quvenzhané Wallis, who plays Hushpuppy, is amazing. This girl is just 10 years old and does a good job. The end as she cries when her father dies she acted really good. 

The film production cost about $1,3 million and for that it's really good. The beasts were computer animated and looked almost real.
