Dec 7, 2020
Mud, named by her mother after a particular verse in the Bible, lives alone and survives in the wild after the death of her mother. A couple of years after her loss, circumstances land her in the neighboring village, where she catches the attention of a preacher's wife (Grace). Mud faces many obstacles, such as who to trust, learning to read and write and speak correctly, as well as figuring out her future. Many surprises reveal themselves along the way as we read from both Grace and Mud's altering points of view.

The Plot: When a UFO lands in Washington, D.C., bearing a message for Earth's leaders, all of humanity stands still. Klaatu (Michael Rennie) has come on behalf of alien life who have been watching Cold War-era nuclear proliferation on Earth. But it is Klaatu's soft-spoken robot Gort that presents a more immediate threat to onlookers. A single mother (Patricia Neal) and her son teach the world about peace and tolerance in this moral fable, ousting the tanks and soldiers that greet the alien's arrival.
This film and the other that i mention are must watch.
