I don’t blame Mary’s mother for throwing out the letter. Not only did a full grown man write to her daughter but what he wrote could be considered very unsettling to some.
Picking a "favorite thing" about Max's mannerisms is impossible, but I always loved his genuine child-like interest in Mary's life with short, very random questions "Do you have a pet Kangaroo?"
Ooh I like this detail, I see it as how as a high functioning autistic person, and a person that does not mind that he is an aspie, he does not mask his emotions or adjust his facial expressions, he is simply just resting, not concerned by how society views him. I wish I could be like that, sometimes I'm too tired to "mask."
Fr I stopped smiling a few years ago unless I'm actually happy or feel like smiling (sometimes you don't know why) and now I'm told "you look sad you ok?" When I'm in my best moods. If someone's an 'aspie' ask about their mood never assume
This's an animation movie for adults, it's not appropriate for children. The lesson from the movie is, we should spend more time with our children especially in conversations in different kind of topics so when they've any question or any curiosity about something that beyond their age, they can come to us instead of go to their friends or strangers to get the answers.
@@themilkman6969 i think you're both right in a sense, at least child neglect is one of the themes. mary's mom smokes and drinks, and her dad is absent, whereas max's father abandoned him and his mom killed herself at an early age, contributing to his limited understanding of society. both are related to how messed up their lives are, but how they manage to overcome them with their friendship. but yeah, it's not the central focus of the movie
More like…. Learn to be kind and give everyone the chance you’d like to be given. Get the help you need. If you are able. Be able to set healthy boundaries in your relationships. Give second chances after mess ups following genuine remorse. That includes you forgiving yourself and aspiring to do better. *Really try to understand those different to you. And HEAR what they’re telling you, instead of just hearing what you want to hear or try doing what you think is best for them without considering their input. Also be the kind of positive change/person you want to see in the world.
I know people rave on about how good this move is. And it is. But I don't like the animation. Yes, I understand why it looks the way it looks. But to me it is just ugly and unpleasant.
