Where the Wild Things Are is seriously weird, awesome
Before you keep reading, you must know that I absolutely love this movie.
In terms of a kids movie though, this might be considered a complete failure. I, however, don’t really know whether it would be considered a good kids movie or not. It has some seriously dramatic and intense moments between the characters, and in some cases you can really feel the joy, and really feel the hate too. Not too mention that some scenes are just really out of line for what you would expect a kids movie to be like. Looking at it from a different perspective though, I really respect Spike on this one though. I don’t know what your average kid will say about it, but it really feels like he is trying to allow kids to deal with these strong emotions and somewhat violent scenes in a movie like this.
Now for all others, this movie is a must see. It’s seriously weird in such a good way. The cinematography is a little bit more shaky than i prefer, but still much better than your average hollywood film. The most surprising thing about the movie is the ending (i wont spoil or suggest anything). I’m not sure whether younger folk will get it because it’s a very “slice of life” ending. That said, I loved it.
