I watched this once... and it might have been the weirdest movie i've ever seen. Every 10 minutes I was sasking myself "what the fuck did i just see"?

It was Sesame Street meets OK Computer

I love it how all the beasts are all parts of Max' personality. Together as a bunch, in their being, they tell his story, his experience of life and they mirror his struggling reflections. I don't know if the film was even that great, I guess it does its work, but the real brilliance is the script by Jonze and Eggers; the beautiful reinterpretation of the original book into an elaborate but intense story.

I can't get over the fact that this movie is based on a 20 page kids book!

OMG the "critics" really didnt get the whole point of the movies....

@rockeryears I balled when I watch this movie lol =,< the movie basically summed down not just childhood, but friendship in general: How we put up with other people, how we face problems just in different ways, and how we are all sensitive individuals. Like the bird dude who lost an arm by just being an honest friend to carol, or the goat guy who always tries to say something but nobody pays attention to him.

/p/

And when the minotaur guy *finally* talks, I was like "oh my god I knew it!"

Personally for me, the message I got from this movie is that sometimes, you have to fall to rise, if you get my drift. If you watched it, you might get it. God, I hate this movie because it made me cry, something a movie hasn't done to me in 6 years!!! Very twisted movie though, and I believe it could have used a clearer moral and the 1st half could be better interpreted, but I love this movie for being so complex yet artistic!!!

@brasiliansoxfan Amen to that!

I thought it was a brilliant movie, and I know very few directors that can succesfully combine atmosphere with emotion like this movie does. Its not perfect though; there are a couple of scenes that felt kinda random to me, but people that say this movie is awfull don't really understand the art of filmmaking I believe. Spike Jonze did a great job of turning the kids story into a nostalgic and emotional movie.
