The point of this movie was to show people a child's point of view of raw, strong emotions. We all have that moment where he lose control and want to smash things up and as a child that is much easier to give in to. That's why it's so uncomfortable for adults because we've learned to suppress or control our base emotions. We remember those times as child - those white hot moments (as he puts it) and we remember the heat on our faces when we screamed and cried out of anger and sadness. The monsters are Max and his emotions. It's how Max sees the world. Obviously a child embellishes themselves, their world and what they can do. Max did that when he first met them. That is what any child would do since we probably did that one way or another trying to impress friends. This film was a reflection we as adults don't want to remember. To remember those uncontrollable moments is a little embarrassing and hard because we didn't understand why we could not be allowed to feel them.

As adults we are expected to controll our emotions to unhealthy levels in our society, it is a good thing as an adult to release those emotions and vent properly but sadly many people don't let themselves and end up in a serious emotional mess.

Any movie that deals with childhood honestly will always be critiqued as too dark and with too many adult themes. Real childhood bears no resemblance to the fantasy society chooses to pretend childhood is. Most of human life is like that, if you're honest about it you can expect people to fight against it or censor it (hell if you do an honest film about adolescence it will get called straight up pornography).

@tisineverfear1490 7 лет назад

Dustin Rodriguez i enjoyed the movie

@yostoyou 7 лет назад

Agreed. Instead of pretending to teach good moral lessons, like Frozen or some shit, it actually pulls off a heartwarming story and tells a truly valuable life lesson. It's no wonder why us millennials are as ridiculous as we are when the majority of what we saw was Pixar and Disney movies with very shallow plots and morals. In a lot of ways, the next generation is only gonna get worse, because some of the more ridiculous of us are parents by now and this is seen as an adult movie for being too drab and honest.

@kayleighbrown459 7 лет назад

Dustin Rodriguez I dunno about Ken Part to be honest. I mean, I like how honest it is about the themes it presents but sometimes it kinda feels like it's just trying to be dark for the sake of being dark. I haven't actually seen KIDS. I just know about it so I'm not sure if it's the same.

I don't care what people say, I liked the movie. I understood pretty quickly that this was a movie about a kid sorting through his emotional trauma and it brought me close to crying once or twice. I found the wild things to be childlike and complex. Feeling fun and carefree one moment and then sad and scary the next. I have a lot of respect for the film maker for the bold, but ultimately honest vision he brought to the story.

@lovelybrown9081 8 лет назад

@notoriouswhitemoth 8 лет назад

Where the Wild Things Are is a coming-of-age story. It's about a child learning how to become an adult. Max starts out wanting to run away to a place where he can do whatever he damn well pleases, but while he's there he realizes that a lack of structure means a lack of purpose, and that making his own decisions means he has to take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. Anyone who says it deals with themes that are too mature MISSED THE WHOLE POINT! It deals with "adult issues" because it exists to say that in the real world children have to deal with "adult issues". There's no such thing as an adult issue, because the real world doesn't discriminate by age.

@psychonaut12 7 лет назад

@mariaah3073 5 лет назад

I don't think it's about becoming an adult, I think it's about allowing ourselves to learn from our raw emotions - which can be done in any age, really. Experiencing emotion, learning from our mistakes, discovering logic behind what we don't understand doesn't necessarily indicate "becoming an adult". I see it as a movie about childhood and about the very "adult", very complex emotions and learning processes that children also go through, even though we adults don't see them as fully capable of it.

"The children too complicated and the themes too adult" perhaps they mean too real, kids have complex inner worlds and can be far more mature than adults give them credit for, no wonder the original book was beloved by so many children, and I'm sure lots of children find something within the movie to relate to that made them fall in love with it

@kayleighbrown459 7 лет назад

I watched an NC review of this movie in which he stated that it was likely one of the best movies to capture what it was like to be a child. I think that sums things up rather well. I think what a lot of critics and casual movie goers tend to forget is that childhood is not always a time of unwavering happiness. In retrospect we tend to see things as a whole. So most of us will hopefully say that we had a happy childhood. But the idealistic world Hollywood often portrays childhood as does not exist. Everyone on the planet has had a moment when they were young and just felt miserable, scared and alone. It's part of growing up.

@IsabellePinamena 7 лет назад

I loved the book as a child, and found the movie to be fucking fantastic. The tone was masterful, making a viewer feel like the moments of happiness were just highs that would soon come crashing down. It may not have been as simplistic as the book, and it definitely scared my little brother, but it was great in its own right.

My first movie theater experience as a kid, and I'll never forget it.

It's bittersweet feeling, and it nailed it.

I can sympathize. I usually feel like people don't understand me well or how I think. when I want some one to understand I make something up and end up dragging them into a false world of amazing things. I haven't seen my dad at my birthday or other holidays since I was ten. I know how it feels to be different and when you find people like you who don't fit in you feel better. but when you realize that it won't stay that way forever you cry. everything changes and no one knows who you are anymore. It makes me wonder if one day all the people I've met in the past will forget all about me. But hopefully I can make a statement on this world so the people who do know me won't forget me when I'm gone

@mariaah3073 5 лет назад

I was 13 with a 8 year old sister when this movie came out. When we walked out of the movie, my mom was just impressed with how visually beautiful the movie was, and said that it was more of an adult movie than she expected. Me and my sister on the other hand loved every single thing about, even defending it as something that yes, was made for us too. We could see ourselves in Max, and my mom didn't like that. Being 13, I couldn't understand why so many adults thought the movie wasn't for children (they weren't as angry as in the US tho, because Sendak's books aren't that popular here). Now, ten years later, I get it. It's the raw, explosive form of emotions that we dont get to experience as adults that shock people. We teach ourselves and others to supress and control emotions, because they are dangerous. If we grown-ups have to this, *imagine* how damaging these explosions can be to children! We can't trust them with depictions of these, they won't "get it". When do we start erasing the raw emotions of childhood from our memory and treating children as incapable of understanding emotional stuff? We are so afraid of explosive child moments because it's what we teached ourselves to suppress - our whole lives learning not to scream, not to ugly-cry, it has to be right, right?

@justsomenuts 7 лет назад

I loved this movie the first time I watched it. It's one of my favorite movies ever. Coming from a troubled childhood myself and having an older sister who wanted nothing to do with me, I resonated so much with Max, despite being in my late twenties when I saw it. I found Max, the teenagers, and the mother all to be incredibly real characters, some of the most human characters I've ever seen in movies. I think the book and the movie have the same soul, and tell the same story, but with different levels of depth and complexity.

I can sort of see both angles. I can understand why people didn't immediately take to some of the large changes, but at the same time how they were expecting the VERY short book to be stretched out to movie length I'm not sure. Things had to be changed or you'd have been bored in the first fifteen minutes, because the book isn't made to be stretched out that long. That'll always be the eternal debate of books translated to films, some things work in word and somethings work in visuals but they often don't work as both. Thus changes will always be made and you kind of have to accept that. Even if at the same time I do see where they could have at least included a few more of the more memorable images.

Though I do love the book, I connect a lot better on an emotional level with the movie. Movie Max mirrors my own childhood self in resorting to anger and acts of defiance as a result of feelings of deep sadness that confused me. I didn't know why I felt the way I did, how to deal with my emotions, how to explain or talk about them with others, what was wrong with me that I felt this way, or what I could do to stop feeling like that. My confusion made me feel helpless, my helplessness frustrated me, the frustration caused me to lash out in anger.

When the movie came out when I was younger me and my siblings loved it! And we still do!!

I love the film but maybe its because I had a very similar childhood to the one portrayed in the film. The way Max acts and reacts, the way he speaks to the monster, the way they play it was exactly the way i was when I was around 8 or 9. I really loved the subtext in the film as how all the monsters were a reflection of his own personal feelings or people he knew. Yes its a bit slow and complicated for kids but my sister saw it when she was 10 and she loved it and as she gets older she will probably appreciate the subtext too.

It doesn't matter what people think of the film or if they feel it isn't similar to Maurice Sendek's original book. The movie version in an amazing film and no one could change my opinion

@k7l3rworkman97 10 месяцев назад

The scene with the big kid jumping on the igloo, in that moment, took me back to being claustrophobic as a kid. This film really personified the feelings every character was experiencing. Beautiful, Chaotic, Sweet and Authentic. Really good movie imo

@slashbash1347 8 лет назад

2:39. Oh God, that face. I never saw this movie and that face just shows so much pain. I wanna give Max a big hug. Edit: Upon watching the movie, I saw that at least the teenagers weren't trying to hurt Max. They were just messing around and accidently took things are little too far.

Spike Jonze did a good service to Maurice Sendak's great book, we think. Nice comparison, and a good example of the challenges of adapting children's material for the screen. Our reporter Aoife spoke to Tom Moore about storytelling for children in his new animated film Song of the Sea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wz2VI1y-Bgc.html

@aislinlindsay3950 5 лет назад

The tiny things in the movie really hit, like Alexander saying “why does nobody listen to me?” And Judith’s outburst, which I think was meant to be directed at parents about children’s emotions and how parents are supposed to support and care for their children not get as emotional as they are. It fully made me cry when kw says “don’t go, I’ll eat you up I love you so”

Syrus7sk It does when you think of it as if all the wild things are just parts of this stressed child's psyche

@DiegoMS 9 лет назад

Syrus7sk It does. Since it was marketed as a children's movie in Mexico I went to see it when I was like 12. I didn't like it per se since it was a really bizarre movie and kind of boring, but as I reflected on it I realised the kind of story it wanted to tell and how one could relate to it and that's what makes the movie a bit likeable to me.

@ellaelise9607 8 лет назад

+darkchamberofdark666 Wow, that was a painfully misunderstood response to OPs question- he wasn't asking ANYTHING about whether the book or movie make sense, he was asking whether it made sense that he sort of iiked it and sort of didn't.

@chaossmith3864 8 лет назад

Honestly it was kinda painful to watch and everyone was so unlikable in a lot of ways it felt like the bad traits of people were more focused on than any positive. IDK that's probably just my opinion. I liked aspects of the movie but disliked the movie for that reason.

@lillybee2951 8 лет назад

Because the story is a bunch of , "hey I promise il help you ,you will be amazing and happy when I'm done with you guys" and then nothing happens , the story is too real it's shows how he's just a kid and no matter how hard he tries, he's just a kid who lives and breathes thinks and has emotions . I re watched this movie and I had an emotion ,an emotion where life is just not good, that death is a thing . The movie leaves you with a " why do I EXSIST " emotion . Probally why it got so much hate but in my opinion I adored it . Really well made .

@JapaneseSanChan 11 месяцев назад

I had the book read to me thousands of times when I was a baby, and I loved it, I even watched the mini animation short all the time. Watched the movie for the first time last yr and I was shedding tears😭😭💕💕💕 this book has been a part of my childhood forever. So it’ll always remain as my favorite.

@DJVirgoNeun1 8 лет назад

I personally never did saw anything depressing or lonely about the original book growing up. I remembered this book being read to me when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Back then, I used to think it was all about what kids always dreamed of: to be carefree, stay up late, do whatever they want, and just have fun while letting their imaginations run wild. Pretty much every childhood in a nutshell. Girls wanted to be princesses with knights in shining armor while us boys love being either monsters or superheroes.

@ellaelise9607 8 лет назад

+Nine PointO Well, you were wrong, so.

@DJVirgoNeun1 8 лет назад

Lisa Phelps So what? Mind enlightening me over what I assumed during my childhood or are you just trolling?

@Dairo512 8 лет назад

+Nine PointO You assume that everybody's childhood is similar to yours. Many, if not most, children dream of escaping into a world if their imagination where they have total control. However, fewer of them want to escape as thoroughly from the harshness of reality or with such passion. Those that do have lives that are worse than their capacity to cope can keep up with.

@MissyMona 8 лет назад

+Nine PointO The whole boys wanting to be superheros or monsters and girls wanting to be Princesses was kinda conditioned into us as children. It was kind of an unnecessary addiction to add to a relatively neat view.

@Dairo512 8 лет назад

MonakoSM You seem to have mistaken the definitions of "catered" and "conditioned". Please rectify that. The childhood desire tropes are typically born more as a result of instincts than social conditioning. The desire to be a hero is borne of the desire to protect (usually by violence), an inherently masculine desire and among the first introduced by testosterone. The desire to be a princess is borne of the desire to be fought over and catered to, an inherently feminine desire and among the first introduced by estrogen. The desire to be a monster is genderless, and usually stems from the desire to be different and free. This desire stems from repression felt as a child, whether its source is genuine or not. The only reason that girls are less likely to want to be monsters it that non-romanticized monsters are generally seen as ugly to look at and scary to be around, traits which girls typically find abhorrent.

@Bopperann 8 лет назад

I realized the movie might be a little too brutal when one of the monsters had his arm ripped off his body. If anything the biggest failure with the film falls with the advertising. Every advertisement I saw made me expect a fun wild adventure. While the movie is actually... some very dark territory.

@k7l3rworkman97 10 месяцев назад

Bernard/ The Bull has always been my favorite. In the book it was his simple design. In the film it’s everything about him. I’m sure as adults, some of us can relate to the Wild Things in some aspects of life. Even personality 💯☮️

How about *Apocalypse Now =/= Hearts of Darkness* . They're both classics in its own medium, and something we *expect* to be different, but will be surprised by te similarities. Specially after hearing Coppola had nothing on set but a paperback copy of H.o.D, at one point. Yeah, let's do some deep artistic stuff, like the good adults we are xD

@Daniel-Rosa. 9 лет назад

I'm sorry for making less adult sound like less artistic. One has nothing to do with the other. I plan to make children's movies myself. I'm completely sold to watching Where The Wild Thing Are now.

I confess I skipped this movie: it looked foolish and juvenile.. But your rendition makes it sound almost adult. Intelligent; something I'd like to shae with my own children.. I think I might give it a go.

@MaximumMadnessStixon 8 лет назад

I adore this film and would say it's really in a way aimed almost more at adults than children. Its almost more about reflecting on one's childhood than about childhood itself.

A good topic I'd think you guys should do is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. You could compare the Book, and both the swedish and American films at the same time, so there could be like cross differences in each version and you could say which movie was the most closer to the book
