In childhood memories, the class was always filled with a few little bullies, who seemed to be born to bully girls. I remember a little bully because a few girls were flipping through his little book and drove them to the front of the blackboard. They were cowardly and timid, but they didn't dare to resist the squeak from beginning to end, and there was no cliché of any knights coming. save them. Later, when I read the book Little Animal, I still remember the shock that brought me to this day. Those cold and violent things happen to us with such a high probability. Growth has always been accompanied by these cruel and ashamed facts. Therefore, whenever we look back on the past, the word "unbearable" is often used.

Mary is such a girl, not very social, full of her own little ideas, immersed in her own little world, the little bully grabbed the sandwich and threw it in the trash, and then urinated on the sandwich, the whole little bully He also laughed at her birthmarks and her clothes had no buttons but clips. The director did not leave any room for reality, there is no such little bully who actually likes the plot of this little girl, so mary is very painful, max offers to tell him that your birthmark is made of chocolate, which means that in heaven you will be responsible for managing all Chocolate, and then he won't get one. The little bully believed, cried and ran away. Seeing this, I laughed out loud. Western children are easy to deceive. Chinese children have never had Santa Claus putting presents in their bedside socks since childhood, which seems to be a good thing.

The colors of the Australian part of the whole film are warm and bright but not dazzling, while the New York scene is always black and white, except for the self-portrait sent by Mary, the tongue and the woman's red lips are ignored, and finally Mary finally arrived in New York, came to Max's side, or Only she is colored. I thought that the whole New York would be stained with color at this time, and then the whole film END. In the end, it didn't. The director was not as vulgar as me, but raised Mary's eyes to the ceiling. Twenty years of correspondence All the seals were pasted there, and the camera then turned back to the dead Max, who also stared at the letters, with a smiling expression, the expression booklet was still hanging on his chest, he finally smiled, the director is not vulgar but very good. It will be sensational, my tears are too low, and I cry again.

If I remember correctly, this film is a stop-motion animation. I like this kind of technique very much. Zombie brides and ghost mothers are like this. They win with plot. Spend the most thought, the story is the key, isn't it?

The props are a highlight. The NOBLET family, all kinds of chocolates, a bunch of red thread balls on the Jewish hat, are very vivid and cute, and those goldfish, I don’t know if it was Henry II’s volley and then fell from the building. , very cold humor, very funny.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: I have also invented some new words. "Confuzzled", which is being confused and puzzled at the same time, "snirt", which is a cross between snow and dirt, and "smushables", which are squashed groceries you find at the bottom of the bag. I have sent a letter to the Oxford Dictionary people asking them to include my words but I have not heard back.

  • Narrator: Max hoped Mary would write again. He'd always wanted a friend. A friend that wasn't invisible, a pet or rubber figurine.
