In “Beasts of the Southern Wild”, Wink represents a strong figure in Hushpuppy’s life, however, due to irrational behaviour, Wink forcefully puts Hushpuppy in multiple dangerous situations. The family of two live in “The Bathtub”, a city isolated from the barricaded world. Wink, a single father fights to keep his daughter Hushpuppy from dying in the natural occurrences that is known as the sinking state of Louisiana, all while fighting an unknown diagnosis. Due to the rapid melting of ice caps, many residents from the Bathtub took flight from their homes. Wink on the other hand stayed put in solidarity of his city and close friends. This was one act of Wink showing Hushpuppy how her father was a tough figure, how a storm made little impact in bothering Wink because he was always “in control” of situations. Even though Wink and Hushpuppy remained in the Bathtub, Wink was the one who encouraged his close friends to stay with them. Wink’s actions of him trying to look brave in front of his daughter had caused both his daughter and himself to be at risk of dying from the natural disaster. This selfish act is what puts Wink on the pedi stool of being a “flawed parent”. Later as the plot line continues, Wink starts to show signs of “weakness” in front of Hushpuppy, indicating that his illness is worsening. Not knowing whether or not her father will survive, Hushpuppy resorts to finding her mother in a bar, where she meets a look a like who offers her a stay. However, Hushpuppy’s love for her father brings her back home to see her father’s presence for the very last time. Bravery comes in all forms. One form of bravery is through Wink, who tries to not let the outside causes affect his mental state of mind. On the contrary, Hushpuppy, who is much younger tends to hold her ground when it comes to showing affection. This is difficult because Wink does not like to express how he is feeling so having Hushpuppy bring that side out of Wink is truly amazing. The take away from this movie is that bravery comes in all forms. Whether it is maintaining a tough image to allowing yourself to be vulnerable with those around you, The Beasts of the Southern Wild prove that both are acceptable.
