However I think that while the resolution isn&#39;t clear defined that Max has actually has evolved/matured, it was interesting to see parts of Max in all the characters that he finds in the island and that he recognizes that he can&#39;t make a perfect world-- and that it&#39;s so hard for children to realize that parents are people too with flaws who make mistakes but do (usually) do the best they can given the current circumstances. <br />20-20 hindsight is hard to deal with. This somewhat sarcastic presentation of a cherished book isn&#39;t really for kids but should be on every parent&#39;s reading list to better understand the frustration of children-- since memories are often skewed--realizing that for kids, life isn&#39;t always clear a This<br />I walked out of this dark and somewhat unresolved movie wondering if I had made the right choice of movie-- but I gained something from it. Jonze did a great job eliciting fab performances.. I loved all the characters-- except the wild thing that Max was initially and then the Max he became was just too pat an ending. <br />great review.Steviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16549388796915330051noreply@blogger.com
