I watched it with my mother and father in law and they thought it was kind of weird and a bit boring. But I loved it from the start. I haven't seen such a beautiful psychological movie in ages! Great music too!
there is another version of this being read by a woman on a vinyl record...if you heard it you would be amazed...it was at the library for many years...
not really, there is the boat and he foundnd the wild things but other than that it's different, in the movie he actually runs away instead of going to his room.
I mean the movie was good, spike HAD to add things in i mean its 1 hr and 40 mins
I was going to write something about the stupid retards that make up this book, but my gf has a problem with that so I won't write anything about the stupid retards in this book. She's much happier now. I'm NOT getting the evil eye right now either..... and she just wanted me to point out that I'm not getting laid ever again.... dang...
Also, I was supposed to go see the movie with her tonight, but GOD has granted me with the gift of a really bad cold so I didn't have to die tonight thank god..
what is your problem? You realize there's not much to this book right? I'm amazed at how much hatred you have for something thats so simple. What makes them retards??
The whole book is about a kid who goes to bed without dinner because hes acting up. When he gets back from his acid trip. He still gets his dinner. There was no real punishment. lol. the parents caved.
I dont yet... I actually did this for my son (it was his favorite book) when I had to be away for buisness and couldn't be there to read it to him. If you have any suggestions on other books your niece might like to hear, let me know. We have tons at our house just waiting to be read.
Why did they not have the forest grow in Max's room like in the book? All he did was bite his mom and ran off into a sail boat. Like seriously, how did he know where the fuck was he going on a small sailboat in the middle of the ocean.
it was a journey into his imagination... the monsters reflected aspects of himself and what he saw of others. in the movie it should have become apparent when they said that he was just a boy in a costume and that he was just like us. sand even came out of Douglas when Carol ripped his arm off.
moral of the movie.
if he had never gone away then he would have never known how far he would have gone to be where he wanted, and he would have not seen that he had what he wanted all along.
And it's partly about forgiveness and unconditional love of his mother at the end when he finds his supper still hot, she is not trying to be abusive but she did discipline him.
its suppose to be a chapter book but i said i cant be telling you the truth if i say anything is my favorite book other than where the wild thing are. (:
The whole book had a kind of eerie kind of feel to it, and the movie I thought stayed very true to the book,You weren't always quite sure that you could completely trust them, I liked that aspect of the movie, they all seemed so perpetually sad and melancholy and two of them were always on edge with anxiety you thought at any second they would flip and turn on the boy in a violent nightmarish display of wild animal thing rage, and devour him, very surreal feeling, I thought they needed Paxil.
Yeah I totally agree with the whole "not trusting" feeling. Like there were moments where I thought that they were going to accidently hurt Max during one of their games. It's a good movie for kids who dont really pay attention to that, and it's equally enjoyable for an older crowd because there are subtle undertones and a lot of emotional carnage going on. Awesome.
There was nothing subtle about that movie. It shoved the "emotional carnage" down your throat with a spoon. What a steaming pile of pretentious existential pseudointellectual crap.
man i saw the movie the day it came out, and i was really loving it at first, until carol (however you spell his name) started getting mad at small things. and then when the goat thing (forgot its name) said "you're not really a king, are you?....just don't let carol find out." *menacing boom* that scared the crap out of me i was like "i thought carol was good" and then it got so violent and so sad and YES, i cried. i don't think it ended well enough. i wanna know what happens to the wild things
Well it's supposed to symbolize childhood. How they can be angels one second, and little demons the next. Their capriciousness, their self-righteousness, and extreme awareness of others' faults (i.e. Max's), constitute a child's behavior and emotions.
I love the video of the book but I felt like the movie was violent and I couldn't relate the book to the movie at all. I had read this book to my kids when they were young. I though the customs were good, I thought the kid was terrible.
awh I remember reading this when I was younger! I was like 5. It was the first book Id read on my own. I lvoe this book! I bet the movie will be great! =]
I remember reading this in second grade - I remember being confused about why Max would send the wild things to bed without their supper... Why would he do the same cruel thing to them that had been done to him? And then, after he has been mean to his wild friends, he gets rewarded by getting his hot supper back in his room... It was right around the time my father was trying to teach me the concept that two wrongs do not make a right... I was very confused and very impressionable...
i luv this book and shut the hell up elsanchonose2! you don't know what this book did to my 4 year old couzin! he loves this book *he thinks he is Max* :P
The story is going to be expanded involving many many things that are not included in the book. They did the same thing with the grinch and horton hears a who
lol this was my favorite book when i was younger i cant wait untill the movie comes out im going to see it lol i dont care what any1 else thinks this this book is awsome
I have fond memories of being a kid. This book was about the only book I didn't hate. Can't wait for the movie. I don't care if I am a little too old for it.
the narration was just as good as any put out on those old disney read along records. Not sure if I'd approve of the movie though. There is a magic in just being limited to a book. This book was popular because it sparked imagination. Today, there's a movie for every little thought we might have. I don't think today's kids can identify with needing to use their imaginations. Today, the tv does all the thinking. curl up with a good book, no radio, no music, no tv, nobody else in the house
I totally agree with you. Movies are nice, but there is a point where they need to stop making every little story into a movie. Kid's need an imagination, and movies repreess that it is proven. Books do a better job of sparking childrens' imaginations.
idk i think its a smart idea . . im 22 now and i remeber i usta everynigh have my mom or dad read this book 2 me . . . its a very popular book and for all us kids that now grown up it sounds like a good idea to bring all the ppl that r older back to a kid feelin. . . ill watch it
good or bad nobody nosee lol
