So I always like to let myself stay in a small confined space, or create a space that makes me feel at ease. Only the small space made us feel at ease, and MAX built an ice hole. I got under the table against the wall and blocked myself with a stool. Or get into the quilt and imagine that the quilt can insulate us from all dangers. Then I looked out through the small hole, quietly enjoying this illusion of safety.
Children are easily lonely.
Just like Max, pulling mother's stockings under the table in an attempt to attract her mother's attention.
Just like Carol, when a friend meets a new friend, he becomes uneasy, frustrated, or even angry out of control. In the end, it was extremely afraid of loneliness.
Just like Douglas, speaking is never taken seriously, hurt and painful, but can only take care of himself silently.
Children are easily satisfied and happy.
A simple promise from Max can bring them unlimited hope and vision. Once together, you can have a heart-to-heart, hug and sleep.
Every new idea can bring them unlimited imagination and plenty of energy.
Children are wild.
When angry, happy, excited, and bored, I like to yell and scream.
Our hearts are like the background music of the movie, with long-term excitement, ups and downs.
We love to run wildly and are keen to divide into two factions for "war".
Children are simple.
Carol and KW had a conflict, and Max proposed to fight a battle to solve it.
Max thought about building a castle, so everyone did it.
Max likes Carol, so give him a hug, Carol likes Max, so he takes him to his secret base.
When Carol and Judith hate Max, they will unabashedly say harshly, saying that if they want to eat Max,
children are sensitive and afraid of injury.
Max cried bitterly after his ice hole was smashed.
When Judith realized that Max and Carol had a better relationship, he immediately became angry.
Carol hid all the good thoughts in his heart for his friends in the secret base, outside the base is a barren desert. Carol said that once it was all woods. Yes, just like us, we have never defended everyone, and everything we cherish in our hearts is exposed. As we grow up, everyone has their own ideas, and some of their own small worlds are no longer compatible with the partners that they care about, so the forests that were once turned into deserts and become barren. Although the partner is still with him, the small thoughts at the beginning are hidden in a secret heart, and they are only open to special people.
The children will eventually go home.
After we have played, we have been wild, sad, and tired, we will eventually return home, because there are our parents and people who care about us.
This is the best destination for the child until the child grows up and is ready for his adult journey. Before this, home is our warmest place.
In fact, these different monsters are just children with different personalities, and they are all children who want to be cared for. The emotional but sensitive and fragile Carol, the well-behaved Alexander, the vicious-mouthed Judith, the Ira who always follows the girl, the tall and stupid Bull, the little Douglas who bounces around but is not taken seriously, are relatively slight among the children. KW, who is mature and likes to make new friends, are not all the little friends we met in childhood?
Castles, kings, tunnels, secret spaces, a group of friends who are crazy together, no death war games, of course, I am decent, free to run, roll, and sleep endlessly when I am tired.
I can imagine that 20 years ago I would be extremely excited if I saw these things, and I was almost certain that all this would impress me at that time. But, after all, this is me 20 years later.
I can understand all this, but I can't empathize. Only vaguely familiar.
Because I have been far away from childhood, children's curiosity, sensitivity, delicateness, and fragility about the world have all gone away from me.
These allow us to sensitively capture happiness, sadness has long passed away.
Yes, I am very emotional, but not regretful.
Losing all of this is the price, in exchange for the growth of the soul. There will be new support, new destination, new happiness and sorrow. Will become firm, responsible, face the world, face yourself.
Sadly, many people's hearts have no home after they bid farewell to their childhood. It has not entered a mature state, yet it cannot return.
So the soul wanders in this helplessness, until the body that it carries continues to age and become unbearable.
In their eyes, this film is useless, because they have lost the heart to perceive these joys.
The place'Where the wild things are' is not just only a island of monsters, but also a settlement with lots of pieces of my childhood.
After seeing this movie many years later, I suddenly realized
where the monsters in my heart have gone ?
Where has all the wildness in my heart gone?
Where did those crazy friends go?
Where did the fragility, sensitivity, loneliness, restlessness, happiness, madness, friends, and fantasies of childhood go?
As "Those Flowers" sang: "They have been blown away and scattered on the horizon"
Thank you Spike Jonze and Maurice Sendak for allowing me to travel through time and space and see myself as a child. Although I can't understand the excitement of that crazy me, just like every adult comes from a child, but I can never fully understand the child.
But, I know, that crazy dead child is me.
