Beasts of the Southern Wild and King Loki

[ericadawn16]

I'd been wanting to see Beasts of the Southern Wild for months so it probably suffered from enhanced expectations.

Now, the main actress, who was only five when she won the role, is amazing and should definitely get an Oscar nomination.

The effects are amazing and there's that fairy tale quality which is always nice, but...

I felt stupid at times. I felt as though things were going on that I wasn't comprehending because on the surface it was about this child coming to terms with big adult ideas but then, there were the beasts and the lessons about global warming and the Katrina imagery... Were there metaphors and symbols all over the place or was it just me?

And now Tom Hiddleston's totally praised it which makes me think even more that there was more it then I understood...

At the same time, it felt like it was lacking something...something indescribable but I wasn't surprised when the credits said that it was once a play.

I'm not sorry at seeing it even though it was at freaking Oldsmar. However, I was very pleased at what I found at the local Oldsmar Marshalls.


Loki: I was a King!
Me: I know, I have the figure!

That is awesome, especially the launching sword blast.

Nice find! You're lucky you nabbed it in a store. I had to order mine from Amazon.

Sometimes all the symbols do get heavy handed at times. Maybe watch it again and you can catch new things?

Loki was king! There's proof!
