An 8-year-old girl, obese, whose father went to work to label tea bags and came home to model flying birds. My mother smoked, drank heavily, listened to the radio of cricket games, and occasionally went to the supermarket to borrow (steal) things. In order to save plastic bags, mothers put things directly under the skirt or deep inside the bra. Everyone at school laughed at the brown birthmark on her forehead. They don't talk to the girl, let alone play with her. The dog didn't play with her either. She took out the ball of string and the dog ran away. The only person close was a wheelchair neighbor who was autistic when his foot was bitten off by a Japanese soldier's crocodile. Her joy is watching cartoons, and the same as Max watched, "The Nobles". She loves her pet chicken, drinks sweet condensed milk, and listens to the sound of rain falling on the roof. A 44-year-old man, obese, likes to eat chocolate hot dogs, likes to watch the cartoon "The Nobles", has six jobs, most of them are lackluster, the only interesting thing is that he played a robot when he was a cleaner, mechanical and humorous He dumped the garbage on the ground, only to be called to the police by an aunt who didn't appreciate it. He's a Jew, and after reading a lot, he doesn't believe in God, but he still wears a kosher hat simply because it shields him from the cold. He was a communist, and that fits his name, Marx. His spirit is relatively closed, anxious, irritable, stupid, and can't distinguish human expressions, so when he was young, he had a small book with various expressions on it, with happiness or something next to it. An hour and a half of animation, basically no dialogue. Most of the time it's the "da-da" of the typewriter, the din of the country town, the din of the city, the narration. But the world, between Mary and Marx, traverses into a tight vocal cord through letters. So warm and touching. 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 From the very beginning of the film, we knew that this could not be a happy film, such a gray scene, such a depressing environment, and Mary and Marx who were so powerless to the environment and themselves. But it was so reassuring and so warm. Even if the ending involves death. The cause of the whole film is the inevitable shadow in our past history, and the effect is the warm friendship, used to warm and support each other. If it is said that family and love abandon poor people in this film, then at least there are still people who suffer from the same illness and support each other, but this film is not limited to the scope of mutual support. The whole film has less dialogue and focuses on narration. The time span is large, and narration is often used to explain the whole story, which requires patience and taste. At the same time, the use of modern unflattering and laborious earth animation, this "clumsy" original way to describe the "clumsy" life, is more moving. All these make Mary and Marx an animation full of life wisdom.

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?
