Mary and Max

Simple should be the most suitable adjective for this movie. The
whole movie from beginning to end,
whether it is Max jumping off the building and being hospitalized or Mary's parents' dramatic accidental death
, or Max blaming Mary and causing Mary to commit suicide all day long, her husband hooking up. In the last pen pal,
even when Max died, everything seemed extraordinarily bland. The
most touching part of the whole movie should be at the end
. Mary finally came to New York to find Max with her child on her back, but
found that Max was dead in the apartment.
The expression management booklet on his neck The small bottle that used to be filled with his own tears and
the self-portrait on the mirror when he sent the first letter to Max. The self-portrait
is full of memories, and
the most touching thing is to look up the whole The letter that I sent to Max in the past is densely stuck on the ceiling. The moment of silent emotion and the tears that burst the embankment. After
more than 20 years, I finally waited until we met, but we can never see each other again. Is Max's death a pity?
I think this is the best ending. There is no regret. The story should stop here.
Before dying, I looked up at the letter on the ceiling. I believe that Max is happy. No regrets.

I think the director is very smart . The autobiographical film uses the form of "clay animation" to tell this story about love and friendship.
I don't know if it is because of preconceived notions and imagine what it would be like if the film were to be performed by several live actors who fit the characters. I think the effect will be greatly reduced

    Every long or short film Adam Elliot has made is actually the same film in the end. I don't know what a heart it takes to put so many "weird", "unfortunate", "symptoms" and inconveniences in clay. Perfectly sculpted into a kaleidoscopic world, where the monotonous brown and black and white can also change into light and dark, and forever stubbornly and clumsily turn to the light side. It's the only way we knew to cope.

    Sad movie, good movie. The end tells us that netizens meet early.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: My 5th job was a garbage collector. I cleaned up after litter bugs and didn't have to talk to anybody. Sometimes I liked to pretend I was an intergalactic robot.

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: Tell Bernie Clifford your birth mark is made of chocolate, which means when you get to heaven you will be in charge of all the chocolate. This of course is a lie, I do not like lies, but in this case I think it will be of benefit. I wish I could be in charge of all the chocolate, but of course I can not, because of my Atheism.
