Beasts of the Southern Wild
by Drew Davis
My four-year old is the worst storyteller. He includes details that are superfluous and leaves out details that are necessary to understand the conclusion of his story. At the same time, there is something marvelous about learning the details he notices and those he doesn’t. I love seeing how his embellishments seamlessly become a part of the story. It is this flawed but charming way kids tell stories that is at the center of the movie Beasts of the Southern Wild. It sounds cute doesn’t it?
