Mudbound Stories

Based on the Netflix Film and Book, Mudbound. Jamie McAllan marries young Elizabeth Strong, after knowing each other for less than a year, before he ships out to fight in World War Two. Since the two hadn't the time to get settled before Jamie left, Elizabeth moved in with Jamie's brother, Herny, his wife, Laura, their two girls, and his father until he got back. After moving in with the McAllan's, the family moves to a small farmhouse, where they work and run the land. Something neither woman thought they would be doing with their lives. I do not own the main story of Mudbound, or the characters from the movie. I do own Elizabeth Strong and the story between her and Jamie McAllen. I am just a fan writing about a movie, book, and character I fell in love with #1 in Mudbound March 24, 2019

This compendium is a tribute in poetic form to Hillary Jordan's novel and its heart touching cinematic interpretation by director Dee Rees. It touches upon the constructs of each individual character and on timeless permutations of humanity ( and very often the lack of it). For this is the field on which lay crops of the past and present.
