It's actually a sad story

It’s been a long time since I watched a clay cartoon, and at first you would think the narrative between the lines is a kind of humor, but halfway through it, you realize that the cartoon is just another way to give you a sad story.
Even though they seemed to have found someone to talk to at the beginning of their correspondence, in fact, they were still confused selves. Mary has low self-esteem because of her birthmark, an alcoholic mother and a numb father, watching the lively cartoon on the TV alone; and Marx, he is unwilling to admit his lack, he refuses a real communication, when When he really hits the jackpot, he first achieves the last two of his life goals, and then the first one - having a friend, not because it's no longer important, but because it's the hardest to achieve. They have their own confusion and try to find comfort in each other. But when the conflict really comes, maybe, only you can solve the knot in your heart. Max looked at the M on the typewriter, he skipped the letter on purpose, but he couldn't contain his anger, because the M reminded him of Marry, the pen pal who had been correspondence with him since he was eight, and she had asked him, the United States Did the child of the commute pop out of a beer bottle, how to change the way people tease her, do the sheep shrink when it rains, if the cab drives backwards, can it be free of charge...until she tells Max that she uses his Case wrote a book.
The specific process cannot be repeated in detail. But that ending still made me cry. Marx eventually forgave Mary, saying in his letter: "No one is perfect, I am, and so are you, but we can choose our friends... You are my best and only friend in this world." Mary's suicide attempt, it was the package, the delayed forgiveness and the courage Len finally mustered to save her. The playback time showed that it was only four minutes. Mary was standing downstairs from Max. She gave birth to the baby and opened the door of Max's house with her luggage. She sat on the sofa and looked around and saw Max mentioning him to him. The goldfish he had passed, the tears she had sent him, and on the ceiling, all the letters Mary sent him, he ironed them and put them in a special place, the ceiling. That morning, before Mary arrived, Max looked up and walked away quietly. Yes, he raised his head. At the moment he lost consciousness, he should still be able to see those letters on the ceiling.
One of my favorite episodes is when Max tells Mary that he can't shed tears properly. In the camera, Max flushes the N goldfish with a flush toilet, but he just can't cry. After receiving the letter, Mary took a glass bottle, thought hard about the sad things, and collected her tears and sent it to Marx in New York. It says "Tears for max".
I don't know why, but this movie reminds me of "The Little Prince". Not all cartoons and fairy tales are for children to watch. When you go through separation and separation with your friends, when you realize the inevitable lack in life, you will understand what moves you. It combines a lot of truth, but it is accompanied by a playful rhythm and matching music.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: Butts are bad because they wash out to sea, and fish smoke them and become nicotine-dependent. I am just joking, because of course it is impossible for a cigarette to remain lit underwater. Also, fish do not have pockets to keep cigarette lighters in.

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: [to Mary] Have you ever been a communist? Have you ever been attacked by a crow or similar large bird?
