Max is an energetic little boy who loves to play, like to destroy, vent and fantasize, and wants to conquer the world. After experiencing the neglect of his sister and mother, he thought that they didn't love him. After arguing, he ran out of the house impulsively, and then drifted to a small island. There were some monsters on the island, and they were smashing the house. Max found that they were just like him. . When the monsters saw the uninvited guest Max, some people resented it, while some liked it. It was Carlo. When the monster wanted to eat Max, Max told them that he was a king and had superpowers, which was what Carlo had been looking forward to for a long time. , he wanted a king to help and lead him.
After Max became the king, he led everyone to play games and build houses, just like the games we played together when we were young. However, during this process, everyone was very happy at first, then some people were injured and others were sad, and gradually Max found that He didn't have the ability of a king to lead everyone to happiness. At this time, Carlo also realized this fact, so he went crazy and wanted to eat Max. In fact, the eating in the film is very metaphorical. Max bit his mother during the quarrel with his mother before leaving home. In fact, "eating" represents a kind of resistance of the child.
Later, KW protected Max. During the conversation, Max found that it would be nice if they had a mother, who could protect them, and he began to want to go home. Carlo found on the model the love that Max gave him on the branches. He understood that no one could make him happy and satisfy all his expectations, but as long as that person loved himself, it was enough. Eventually, Carlo came to see Max off, and Max returned home.
The soundtrack is very good, very close to the mood of the film, a fairy tale for adults.
