re: 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.
