Need a little help...Beasts of the Southern Wild

I just watched it last night. I think this movie walked the line between showing an unique familial relationship and glorifying poverty. While the characters were "colorful" and interesting - The setting made me feel dirty and hopeful that there aren't a whole lot of people like the ones featured actually in existence.

If you want a fanciful film about squatters with no future but love each other... This is the movie for you.

I like the way it was done technically... but it left me feeling a little angry and dirty (not like perverse... like grubby dirty) knowing there are probably lots of people like this out there and all the love in the world won't improve their fates.

Yeah. 30 minutes in.

I hope you enjoy the movie more than my wife and I did. I kept slouching deeper and deeper into my chair in the theatre because I picked the movie that night and I could tell that she was having the same reaction to the movie. It just wasn't very good, in my opinion.

We watched Sound of My Voice and Queen of Versailles recently and liked those better. Maybe give those a try next time.

If that is what you think, I think you missed a big part of what it was saying.

Damn.

Amazing movie.
