Beaver

Beaver is an independent film starring Mel Gibson. We heard this movie was really good so went to watch to decide for ourselves. It is about a man who falls into depression and his only outlet is a beaver puppet he finds in the trash. He uses the puppet to communicate to people at work and to his family at home. It was a great film on how one overcomes depression in a different way, yet still has symptoms when the puppet is not around or used. It is a sad movie but has a feeling of reality on how maybe some people hide behind things to communicate. Although the film was depressing, it had a good message. How the resiliency of the human spirit, the love of the family, and platform for mental illness is the basic message of this film.
