Review of Where the Wild Things Are (1975) by Pierluigi F — 05 Oct 2011
The movie is about a young boy named Max who is disappointed with his life at home, and eventually runs away. He sails to an unknown island at which he meets a group of large talking animals. He then is appointed their king, and he makes sure everyone has fun.
It sounds like a ridiculous premise, but at times it's such a joyous film, there's no way after seeing certain scenes you won't smile. The ending shook my emotions to the point of tears, and movies rarely do this for me.
As the consensus says, some may find its dark tone off-putting, but if you can overlook the strangeness of certain scenes, you'll find a one-of-a-kind movie that you'll never forget. A movie that's so emotional, visually unique, and original are very rare and Where the Wild Things Are possesses all of those qualities and utilizes them to the absolute fullest.
