Where the Wild Things Are.Children in films are often depicted in one of two ways.
1 – a spoiled bratty kid, who learns his lesson and becomes good.
2 – a know-it-all cute kid who is sometimes smarter than adults.
Those are the only 2 categories I know of. But in this film the boy (Max) is a real life boy. Sometimes he’s smart, annoying, adventurous, scared, angry, happy, sad etc. This film covers it all.
It’s a great tale for all children to see, and adults too. Or anyone that has been a kid and wanted to go to another world. It’s not a big mystery to realize that each of the Wild Things (Carol, Douglas, KW, Ira, Bull, Alexander, and Judith) are all part of Max. But which part are they and why are they significant. It’s also important to see which ones Max identifies with more, and also what happens when he is questioned on things such as trust, love and loyalty.
This film is a must see and had I seen it in 2009 it would’ve been in my top 5.
5/5
J-Man.
