The 2012 movie Beasts of the Southern Wild, director Benh Zeitlin’s debut movie, sees 6-year-old Hushpuppy living with her father Wink in a remote village called the Bathtub. When Wink mysteriously falls ill, it seems that mother nature falls ill with him, with temperatures rising, ice caps melting, and rising waters threatening the Bathtub and its community. In one key sequence, the aftermath of the flood shows Wink and Hushpuppy searching for survivors, and eventually finding some at the local pub.

When Art draws the human tale of his mother’s suicide his drawings take a twisted turn. These abstract and disturbing illustration could not be kept throughout the book as it would be too deep.

It resembled the stomping of something but I knew it was probably just an animal or someone who woke up in the night. All of a sudden, the iron fasteners flung off the door. The Geats jumped out of their sleep and looked toward the noise. The beast was in the door and the smell was awful. It smelled of raw flesh and I could see the slime falling off of the beast.
