Several weeks ago I watched the film, "Beasts of the Southern Wild" at Wealthy Street Theater with the 'Adding Angles' Crew.
Wow, this movie is touching, eccentric, and thought-provoking.
The story centers around an imaginative 6 year-old, known as Hushpuppy, who lives in the 'Bathtub' Community. The Bathtub is a fictional place based on the actual areas in Louisiana that are located below the water levies. This community has contently resisted modern culture in many ways. Hushpuppy encounters immense fears: the pending flooding of the Bathtub and the terminal illness of her single-parent father.
Favorite quotes from the film:
"The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece... the entire universe will get busted" - HushPuppy
"When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I'm a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right. When I die, the scientists of the future, they're gonna find it all. They gonna know, once there was a Hushpuppy, and she live with her daddy in the Bathtub" - HushPuppy
Oh, this little actress deserves ALL the awards that she has already won. So much talent!
