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 originally a beautiful scenery and pleasing to the eye, but the development of the plot is a bit unusual. For example, the dead father is made into a mummified corpse. I'm really at a loss for things like playmates, what the hell is this director thinking? So yesterday, I saw "Monster Home". Although it is very Hollywood, although it is an adaptation of an original comic book, I still think it is very beautiful, very warm, and very moving.

Who says kids don't understand loneliness? Although children sometimes seem so cruel. I liked playing with insects when I was a kid, like throwing ants into a glue bottle to drown, getting a snail bit by bit out of its shell and putting it on salt, finding a spider's butt and threading it on a long needle-----no one Said to me not to play like this, because people always wantonly treat things weaker than themselves. But loneliness has nothing to do with age. At any time, it will be like a dagger, coldly passing through the body, and then stroking his heart and falling into the silence around him. In the movie, the little boy tugged at his mother's stockings and told a story: A vampire cried because it gnawed on the tallest house and broke his teeth. The other vampires said, why are you crying, isn't this your baby tooth? No, these are my permanent teeth. It replied that it could no longer be a vampire, and the other vampires left. So, loneliness becomes the baby teeth of a vampire. In the hearts of children, there are sensitive, irritable, powerful, smart, gentle, furry monsters. When they are unhappy, let's build a castle with the monsters, and let those annoying people pass the city gate. , the head will be chopped off.

Speaking of which, I really like the wonderfully shaped grass and wood castle in the movie. I also like holes and tunnels that feel safe. The soundtrack of the movie is very nice. The sounds such as shouting, running, laughing, and searching are all subtly bouncing, and they follow the rhythm of the soundtrack. All the female or children's voices sing briskly, which is very distinctive. I don't know which band did the soundtrack, I really want to find an original soundtrack to listen to.

Where the Wild Things Are quotes

  • Max: There were some buildings... There were these really tall buildings, and they could walk. Then there were some vampires. And one of the vampires bit the tallest building, and his fangs broke off. Then all his other teeth fell out. Then he started crying. And then, all the other vampires said, "Why are you crying? Weren't those just your baby teeth?" And he said, "No. Those were my grown-up teeth." And the vampires knew he couldn't be a vampire anymore, so they left him. The end.

  • Max: Did you make this?

    Carol: Yeah, yeah.

    Max: It's very good.

    Carol: We were gonna make a whole world like this. Now, everyone used to come here, but you know... you know what it feels like when all your teeth are falling out really slowly and you don't realize and then you notice that, well, they're really far apart. And then one day... you don't have any teeth anymore.

    Max: Yeah.

    Carol: Well it was like that.
