Wild ride back to childhood Where the Wild Things Are opens Oct. 16 Rated: PG By Barbara Rubino Coral Springs High
Watching Where the Wild Things Are is like being thrown into an ocean filled with your greatest childhood memories and getting to bask in it for almost two hours. The story follows the boisterous Max, who is determined to win the attention of his mother and sister, Claire. After Claire's friends destroy Max's snow fort, and his mother devotes more of her time to her boyfriend than him, Max runs away to a distant island. He there meets the wild things and is dubbed their king. Through a series of triumphs and tribulations, Max finds that his overly emotional companions may be too intense for him to handle. The movie shows incredible character development, giving even the previously nameless wild things identity and crystal clear roles. Anyone who has ever felt unloved, like a failure, or even has simply searched for adventure can relate to one or more of the wild things as they represent each raw and powerful emotion we feel as children. In a cinematic world where most are left with a sour taste in their mouth as the credits roll, Where the Wild Things Are proved to be an exclusion from the rule. This movie has the capacity to take every man, woman and child on an emotional roller-coaster ride through an exceptionally well thought out and executed embodiment of what is and may always be one of the most beloved children's books of all time. |
