Where the Wild Things Are

A lot of the students in my ministry and other people have been talking about this movie, and I was very curious because of the variety of responses to it. Nolan and I went to see this film last night, and I have to say I don't even know what my response to it is! It was very strange...the plot was a little boring, but the cinematography was really incredible!

The movie does, however, raise some interesting issues about being a child. The main character Max seems a little crazy when he goes into rages of anger, but the film does a good job of setting the scene and making it very logical for a child of his age to act the way he does, considering his situation. The movie is also a good reminder to be grateful for the people and things we have in our lives, because so often we don't realize how important they are until we don't have them anymore. It's been years since I have read the picture book that this movie is based on and I want to get a hold of a copy now that I have seen the movie.

Anybody have thoughts on this very weird movie??
