Love is still the power to call back

This is an adaptation of the classic picture book "Where the wild things are". A Chinese translation of "Where the Wild Beasts Haunt" has also been published in China.

The first time I read this picture book, Saner made me read it five times in a row before giving up.

The plot of the film is naturally much richer. Of course, how can a few thin pages of picture books meet the needs of the script? The monsters in the picture book have all appeared in the movie. Movie is fine.

Watching this movie, I clearly felt the child's loneliness and the cry of longing for love. The fragility of the mind. His emotions are very much in need of care. And I clearly felt that his emotions were actually being ignored.

The desire for adventure, the fear and the courage deep inside everyone. Who doesn't have that kind of wildness inside? That wild thing, do you know what it is?

Love is still the force that calls back. The child has to go home eventually.

A certain drama at the beginning of the film deserves parents’ attention. The little boy really wanted his sister to play with him. It turned out that the older sister who was already a teenager had no time to pay attention to him. The sister's friend came and broke the little boy's igloo, but the sister and the boy who caused the accident did not apologize to the boy. So the boy was furious and jumped on his sister's bed wearing snow-covered shoes, destroying many things in his sister's room, and the carpet was soaked with snow. When his mother came back to tidy up and asked him, the boy said, sister, she didn't say an apology!

It seems that you can't owe the child an apology. If the mistake hurts the child, you must hold the child and say to him, sorry.
