Beasts of the Southern Wild

I think that the film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" was over all a good movie. All though it seems confusing at times, or you might not understand it, by that's all part of what makes it better. The movie was able to get heavy messages across, ones that aren't touched on that much today, where most people judge happiness on the amount of wealth you have, or the class of society that you live in. But this movie was able to get across that life can be enjoyed and valued even in low class areas, by families that don't have much money, and by people who don't have the best opportunities available to them. Also, this movie also taught a lot about a sense of community, something that most of us no longer have. The people in this movie love their town, and stayed behind during the storm because of that. They worked together to rebuild, and help each other mourn the deaths of family and neighbors. We can learn a lot from this movie, about community, empathy, and appreciation for what we do have, not what we wish we have. We can live like the people in The Bathtub who "have more holidays than anyone else in the world". But more importantly we can take what Hushpuppy said to heart. We are all just "tiny pieces in a big, big universe". No one is that more important than anyon else. We all have our roles to play in the world, and we all need to do them.
I think this movie ties in perfectly to our unit, Humanity. When we are asked  "What does it mean to be human?" I think our answers can be influence by this movie. Because of this movie, I can think part of being human is to have empathy, a sense of community, and to be grateful for what we have. These are all important things that if people live by them, we could all have a better life.
