However I think that while the resolution isn'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't make a perfect world-- and that it'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't really for kids but should be on every parent's reading list to better understand the frustration of children-- since memories are often skewed--realizing that for kids, life isn'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.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549388796915330051noreply@blogger.com
