Beasts of the Southern Wild – Hushpuppy
Everybody –
go in & see Beasts of the Southern Wild if you haven’t already! A lot of
films claim to be oh so original, but this one really IS & if there is any
justice in Hollywood – always debatable – it will win Best Manuscript at least;
Best Director would be fair.
Cool that
the title comes from English literature, not even American. It has to be from
William Blake’s The Little Black Boy,
not?
My mother bore me in the southern wild
And I am black, but oh, my soul is white.
That’s how an
Englishman would see it anno 1830 or thereabouts. Not quite politically correct
today. Doesn’t matter a scrap either. I’m just showing off because I’ve read a
lot of poetry. Most moviegoers won’t have any idea where the title comes from,
just that it’s a wonderful title for a wonderful film.
Imagine –
there’s no F-word, no moralizing & certainly no glamorizing; brilliant
performances from non-actors & gorgeous photography. The tears flowed
several times, but the film is unsentimental too. Don’t miss it.
Hushpuppy
Allesammen – tag ind og se Hushpuppy hvis du ikke allerede
har. Mange film hævder at være åh så original, men denne film ER og hvis der er
retfærdighed i Hollywood – kan altid diskuteres – vinder den i det mindste
Bedste Manuskript. Bedste Instruktion ville være passende.
Bare tænk – ingen siger fuck
– ingen løftet pegefinger og sandelig ingen glamour i situationen; suveræn
skuespil fra ikke-skuespillere og underskønne billeder. Tårerne flød flere gange,
men filmen er heller ikke rørstrømsk. Se den.
