i've just gotten back from watching Spike Jonze's newest film, Where the Wild Things Are, and i gotta say it was just fantastic!!
for any of you who read the children's book, you know the story: boy on a rumpus, boy gets mad at mom, boy sails an imaginary boat to the island of the Wild Things, boy becomes ruler, boy misses mom, and boy comes home. but from the revision of the film, it's not necessarily made for children audiences but for the adults that are children by heart. this film is so beautifully crafted into giving us the innocence of childhood that we once had in our lives and it does that perfectly. it speaks to us to when we were once wild and adventurous and to top it all off, the characters are just so wonderful and alive in spirit.
this film deserves some awards for it's efforts!!
Spike Jonze, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again!!
