      Where the Wild Things Are: A World of Lost Nature

      He is naive, but adults can understand him. This is a retrospect of everyone's psychological growth history: from naughty to sensible, rebellious to compliant. Children's adventure worlds are all designed for reality. Every beast has a corresponding metaphor for its role in life. When children's real responsibilities and emotional refuge are activated, it means that the time to stay away from childhood and clean up loneliness has come. Even if you grow up, loneliness has always been with you....

      strange movie

      Every time our department organizes movies on weekends, as long as I attend, I will encounter this kind of bizarre movie inexplicably. The last time I was supposed to watch a sci-fi movie, I came across "district 9", and I didn't want to eat seafood for a month because of the flesh and blood. , what is this all about.

      It's not that this film is bad, but how to describe it, if you are a single mother with a 6 or 7 year old child, then I strongly recommend watching this film, after...

      Beast garden? Madman's Garden? ---- Talk about this piece of nonsense by the way

      It's a pointless movie about a maniac child with a group of violent monsters. It is neither a commercial film, nor is it an art film, there is nothing to watch from the plot to the picture. But if you think about it carefully, it's a bit like a B-level movie... I really don't know what the investment of 90 million US dollars is for. It is estimated that it is to find a suitable little lunatic to go to the lunatic asylum all over the world. Think about it, thousands of little lunatics audition,...

      Such an inexperienced pretend 13 Such a nasty child

      Except for his mother, all the rest of the characters should die

      , a dead child, with unclear brains, mental illnesses, eccentric behavior, and low intelligence, showing us all the ferocious post-2000 brain damage.
      A group of monsters, wearing rough makeup, performing the plot of Xiao Si under the rough appearance, is it so lonely? If you are lonely, please stay on the island and do not appear in the camera.

      Such music, such a scene, such a sad sunshine and atmosphere,...

      Hate people don't come into my castle, monsters will eat you

      I don't like children's movies that are too cruel, and movies that have ulterior motives under the guise of fantasy. For example, in "Pan's Labyrinth", at the beginning, it was still going to the Gothic side. At first, I was curious about the vicious Dionysian. Later, it turned into a political film related to the Nazis. I really watched it. Not happy anymore. There is also the "Rising Tide Coast", the secret hut in the rolling wheat waves, and the cute little girl who likes dolls. It was...

    Evaluation action

    The story of the film is full of innocence, dangerous and wonderful. It is a fantasy work of high quality   . (Tencent Entertainment Review)
    "Where the Wild Things Are" is a pure children's film. While entertaining children, it also nurtures a deeper layer of thought. The benefit of the film for children is to realize a fantasy about the king, and for adults, this benefit is to explore a coordinate about education. Max is the...

    Movie quotes

    • Judith: Psst. Psst.

      [signals for Max to come over]

      Judith: What were you doing with Carol just now?

      Max: Just talking.

      Judith: Oh, a secret, huh? Let me ask you something. How does it work around here? Are we all the same or are some of us better than others or - ? You like to play favourites, huh, king?

      [Ira accidentally hurts Judith]

      Judith: Ow.

      Max: No, I like all you guys equally.

      Judith: Don't give me that. I can see how it is. The king has favourites. That's really cute.

      [Ira hurts Judith again]

      Judith: Ow! Stop! Do you have a favourite colour? Hey, can I be your favourite colour?

      [laughs]

      Judith: [Max imitates her laugh]

      [Judith does it back]

      Judith: [Max does it again, with more effort]

      Judith: Ahahaha.

      Max: Har har har.

      Judith: [more evilly] ahahahaha!

      Max: Har har har!

      Judith: Ahahahahaha!

      Max: HAR HAR HAR!

      Judith: You know what? You can't do that back to me. If we're upset, your job is not to get upset back at us. Our job is to be upset. If I get mad and wanna eat you, then you have to say: "Oh, okay. You can eat me. I love you. Whatever makes you happy, Judith." That's what you're supposed to do!

    • Judith: You know what I say. If you got a problem, eat it.

    • Carol: So, what ever happened with you and the Vikings?

      Max: Well, in the end I had to leave.

      Carol: Why?

      Max: I'm not a Viking or a king, or... or anything.

      Carol: So, what are you?

      Max: I'm Max.

      Carol: [sigh] Well, that's not very much, is it?

      [walks away]
