Beasts

Beasts of the southern wild was one of my favorite sundance films, last year in Millers film class we watched a good chunk of it and ever since then i wanted to see the rest of it. i watched it on hbo go a few weeks ago and ever since then its been my favorite independent film. the movie is extremely symbolic, the beasts represent something more than you can see with your eyes. the beasts represent struggle and the battle hushpuppy goes through. the movie is fairly stressful, and to represent that they have the beasts. at the end of the movie when everything seems to fall into place, and everyone gets a lot the beasts are no longer a threat. aside from the symbols, the movie is absolutely amazing. just to think how low the budget was and to film such a great movie is shocking. instead of spending a ton of money, they just used a lot of skill. everything from the filming to the acting, they didnt have any crazy cameras but instead they used amazing shots and filming techniques. the acting alone is amazing, its unbelievable that wink was pulled out of a sandwich shop to come act in that movie with absolutely no background in acting at all. beasts of the southern wild is my all time favorite indi film, and i could see it a thousand times over again before getting sick of it.
