I was like 7 when i watched this and i found it awesome and a little scary just because i was scared that the wild things were gonna actually go wild and just start trying to kill him
Oh yeah. I remember the scene where the wild things were going to eat Max because he helped Carol destroy their houses. (That scene gave me a little anxiety by the way) But he said "Stop!" and then "Stand still!" and convinced the wild things he has "powers from another land" and made him their king.
Yeah, this movie is more suited for adults than kids due to how serious it's subject matter and overall tone is. But I think it still can be an enjoyable family movie.
I first watched this as an adult in theaters. It gave me the same vibe as older works like "The Velveteen Rabbit", "The Little Prince", A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh" and James Barrie's "Peter Pan". Uncomfortably surrealistic, uncomfortably truthful stories we need to hear.
I remember my mom reading this book to me when I was little and it became one of my favorites from my childhood. When I learned it was going to be made into a live action film I was so excited just like a little kid. I was like finally!!!! I thought everything about this movie was so perfect they even got the kid who plays Max perfect. Glad this was in my recommendations I definitely need to rewatch it. I'm 29 now lol and it's still one of my favorite movies. Fun fact: The little boy who plays Max is actually named Max in real life it's like he was born to play this role 🖤
This MOVIE IS REALLY MAGIC.. this movie is stuck with me for years but somehow I could find it when I was young.. you know it's really something.. and it never failed me to cry and understand this more every single time.. it is really good and I couldn't explain how happy I am to watch it again.. and again as time passes this movie will still be my favorite of all
recently, for no apparent reason, the memory of this film had popped into my head out of nowhere, and my memory of it was so surreal that i could have sworn it was a dream i had. i had to make sure that this was real, and there it was! where the wild things are! but then i noticed all the good reviews for it, good comments and such! i was confused. had i missed something when i was younger? so i gave it a watch today and i completely understand the love for this film. it was real, beautiful and found it's way to my heart and ripped it out with one swift tug. what the movie made me learn, is that as adults, we often romanticise our childhoods. we believe things were simpler, more fun and easier, when we often tune out or just forget the complexity of truly being a child. we were not naïve, but lost, and with very little understanding of ourselves and how to properly express our thoughts and emotions. even now, we are all children, learning how to express ourselves and find the truth to our complex emotions. it's really funny how relatively anomalous the means of me re-watching this movie was, having a 12 year old memory resurface out of nowhere, as if, me coming directly from the past to show me something that i absolutely needed to see. it's horrifying and beautiful, as is same with the movie.
I think KW is a mix of Max´s mom and sister. She´s protective and caring of him, but to Carol she´s the one who had went away, isolated herself from the rest and had other friends of her own that Carol doesn´t like at all. And Carol himself represents Max´s fears and insecurities. He wants to build a fort where only him and his friends are allowed, where they can be happy, sleep together and feel safe, he´s afraid of everyone being mad at him, he´s upset with KW, because she had left them and he´s jealous of her new friends.
I feel you, I saw it on Netflix one day and was like “hey I liked this book as a kid”. I was not expecting it to be so surprisingly mature, I felt like my childhood died with Max’s in the ending shit was heartbreaking
I thought this movie was a fever dream when I remembered it 2 days ago and searched up the rugh representation of what the film was and I found it I first watched this when I was 6
I’m gonna be honest this movie kinda gives me bridge to Terabithia vibes. But both films are so gorgeous and both have stuck with me and made me cry a lot
I found KW to be more like Max’ mum personally, seeing as she would always defend him and protect him but Judith was always provoking him like Max’ real sister
As a someone that saw it as a 36 year old, there's definitely more in it for adults than kids, but id say its more for a person over their lifetime... the older you get the more you begin to see in it, also a child who is in a situation, age wise and familial wise as max might get it alot more than a kid who isnt. Its not so much a movie for kids, but a movie about being a kid... and this might sound a little iffy to some, but id also go as far as to say its a movie about being a boy.
This movie touched something deep inside 7 year old me I connected with max and I just remember waking up to reality after this of course it affected me in a very different way. I connected with Max's loneliness and sadness and wanting to be loved, and at the end of the movie I realized what it should be and what I lacked
I always recall the film Where the Wild Things are and a longing to watch it allways washes over me. It always confuses me every time I watch it though... and it makes me feel odd... like, scared, anxious, sad and weirdly nostalgic (even the first time I watched it). But even those don't quite describe the feeling I get. It almost feels existential... like, why is this feeling a thing and I don't understand it...
I love this movie too. I even own it on Blu-ray. I remember watching this as a kid at the movie theater and remembering how much of a beautiful and emotional experience it was for me. I am ONLY willing to discuss this movie with others who LIKE the movie, NOT hate it.
I definitely think this movie is just misunderstood, and while people were expecting a simple story it actually has very complex messages on childhood and is a coming of age story for Max! Maurice Sendak (the creator of the original book) himself loved this adaptation because he loved how Spike Jonze was one of the only filmmakers that was interested in it that seemed to actually understand it!
I'm writing this comment before I listen to this video. I got to you first line about how it affects us different ages. And it's interesting because this was my favourite book as a child and the movie did such a great job of recreating it for me as an adult. When I was a child I loved Doctor Seuss and the only other book I remember not by them was Where the Wild Things Are and as I got older also Shel Silverstein. Now I'm old enough to recognize that I like these interesting different things because I was always very different or at least I felt that I was and now anyone I know and or love that has a kid I give them the same book for the zero birthday. That book is Where the Wild Things Are because as a child I felt like I didn't belong I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere. And I didn't, but there was always the thought my head that I might be able to find with the wild things are. I'm not 36 years old I still hope one day to find it, and as much as I feel like I still don't fit in I've had a hell of a good ride trying to find Where the Wild Things Are.
i adored this movie when i was younger. i totally related to max. i personally wasn’t afraid while watching it like how some people describe. i watched it again last night for the first time in years and it was amazing seeing it from a new perspective. the characters have depth and it is so much more than just a kid’s film. i thought it was beautiful and actually cried a lot at the end. it’s really special and underrated in my opinion. like you said, there isn’t any other movie quite like it and there probably never will be.
I love this film, it seems to touch on childhood without the "pink glasses" look of nostalgia... Some people when they grow they seem to remember only the good, and forget how scary it is to be a child sometimes
Neil, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I’m genuinely glad that I’m not the only one who sees this film as a beautiful one! This review is the reason why I started talking about movies in my channel. I want to talk about this film as well and was wondering if possible if could take inspiration from this review. I’m not sure what I could cover that you haven’t already but I still think it’s worth talking about since I still see it as a timeless art piece just like its original source.
This video was great! I did an essay on WTWTA in 2019 and it’s nice to see other perspectives on the film. It’s a forgotten and misunderstood masterpiece. A film that impacted me deeply and I’m glad to see others resonate with it. Good work! 👍
I was already over 30 years old when I saw the movie and soon realized that it was an adult movie. The psychological complexity of the film clearly escapes a child's understanding. The book is another medium and it doesn't have the same depth as the film, in the book a lot is implicit to be understood and it is easier for a child to have access. The movie's advertising was not well directed either, the stupid greed of the film industry was brutal....a movie scene struck me, I was very sorry for a grandmother who took her grandson to see the film and seemed excited at the beginning of In the movie she explained the scenes to her grandson who was shrinking in fear in his chair, when the monsters appeared the two had to leave the room, it was very scary for him, the grandmother was sad. I don't blame the movie that was great, but the greed of the studio wanting to earn every penny of whoever it was and at all costs!
I watched this in the cinema when it came out so I was around 9 or so. It was on a class trip but I ended up in a corner seat kinda by myself. Throughout the movie I was scared and anxious and close to tears many times, I was totally traumatized haha. But I just rewatched today after not having watched it since the first time and oh my god was it beautiful. I was still anxious cause I felt like Max was in danger of getting eaten a lot of times but now that I understand the deeper meaning better I really loved it!
I'm planning on watching this movie soon, I haven't in it in such a long as time but I just rediscovered the soundtrack and now I want to see it again lol
I watched this when it came out when I was 6 and I seriously believe it's the most important film I've ever watched in terms of how it shaped me as a person
As a kid I just didnt like how serious it was. I understood the book was also serious, but damn. There were some scenes that got me hella emotional and I wasnt ready for it as a kid. As an adult I get it a lot more, I think this really is an adults movie with kids characters spliced in. This movie def hits adults harder
i guess for mw i couldn't relate to/understand Max's imagination/games/rules as a kid. i guess too as a kid rules don't *have* to make sense, or even mean anything, but i was very confused as a kid. maybe i was just a logical child?
I happened to watch this for the first time since I was a kid around the winter solstice. The scene about the sun dying was very poignant just for its shear simplicity.
I just watched this film and while most people interpret it as a story of a young boys wild imagination- i saw this movie as a sad and realistic portrayal of child neglect. Max desperately throughout the beginning of the film tries to ask for the attention of his family (which often fails). The only times he successfully gets attention was when he trashes his sisters room, and runs away later in the film. It’s established that his mother is the only family member who gives him any form of affection, albeit in doses since she has to work long hours and is a single mother. On a night where his mother decides to have a date with an unknown man, Max is visibly upset and lashes out for attention in the only way he knows how- anger. After biting his mother from his episodic rage, he runs away from home in shame. When Max stumbles upon the world of the Wild Things, he happens upon Carol during one of his episodes. Carol throughout the film is used to mirror Max and his way he copes with his family and trauma. Max learns from the Wild Things that KW has abandoned the group for unknown reasons and it’s caused Carol to lash out in unpredictable ways. When Carol is upset with how his home is, his response throughout the film is to destroy. This parallels Max who also uses anger to express his discontent with his family. KW acts like a mother figure to Max during the film and saves him a couple of times from being eaten and harmed by the other monsters. As a stand in for his mother, we learn as the film progresses that KW is incapable of giving Carol the attention and love he craves much like Maxs mother cannot give the attention he needs as a child. At the conclusion of the film, Max returns home when he realizes his actions are destruction and harmful to those around him. He states he misses his mother and wants to return home, and bids farewell to the monsters. When Max finally gets home he has learned to appreciate his mother, even though she is not perfect and his home life is still neglectful. Max regrettably could not change how his home life is at the end of the film, or the limitations of his mothers affection. The only thing within the control of him was how he reacts amidst his neglect. He’s come to terms with how his life is and has come to appreciate what he has, and to not lash out angrily at not what he does not.
If you liked Where the Wild Things Are and want to watch something somewhat similar, watch “Kooky” or “Finding Kuky” depending how they translate it in your region.
0:35 When i heard this humming, my heart went into a scary frightening feeling I remember associating this humming with the scariness of the monsters, goddam Edit- ua-cam.com/video/DHITmcKUGik/v-deo.html This encapsulates the way this song makes me feel, much scarier than it seems
Seems like a lot of other people first watched this as a young kid and was horrified. Happened to me, whenever I watched it again it was still really weird, but really beautiful. One of my very favorite movies now. It's also really interesting because of how all of this obviously never happened, but it doesn't make that obvious and leaves it as if this all could have actually happened too
Man Wtf did I just watch. Some junkie monster going through withdrawal. An autistic adhd kid that thinks he's a dog. I wonder if this movie ever actually made someone cry. This movie is not deep. This movie is annoying garbage and I'm glad I never read the book. 0/5 stars
I was like 7 when i watched this and i found it awesome and a little scary just because i was scared that the wild things were gonna actually go wild and just start trying to kill him
Oh yeah. I remember the scene where the wild things were going to eat Max because he helped Carol destroy their houses. (That scene gave me a little anxiety by the way)
But he said "Stop!" and then "Stand still!" and convinced the wild things he has "powers from another land" and made him their king.
Its not scary
the farewell scene gets me everytime. from the bull to the howl. so captivating.
When I was younger I never really understood the film. Revisiting this film now, being more mature I understand and respect it so much
Yeah, this movie is more suited for adults than kids due to how serious it's subject matter and overall tone is. But I think it still can be an enjoyable family movie.
Yes! i knew i couldn't be the only one that this film stuck with me even if i didn't understand it at the beginning.
I loved the video!

I know right? This movie is so underrated.
Its on HBO

I was named after max in the book, and was read this from a very young age by my mother. So this film has a really special place in my heart.
My brother was named after the book to, they even made his middle name wild
So was I

I feel vague trauma from being disturbed throughout the movie watching this as a kid lmao
This is exactly how I feel ahaha
The girl monster swallows max and the boy kind of suffocated in her stomach, that part sticks in the the trauma spot of my mind
I feel you, I saw it on Netflix one day and was like “hey I liked this book as a kid”. I was not expecting it to be so surprisingly mature, I felt like my childhood died with Max’s in the ending shit was heartbreaking

It’s always so hard for me to watch the ending because it’s so sad

I think KW was the sister as well.

I remember my mom reading the book to me thousands of times when I was a baby, I'm almost 17 and I still love it till this day. Such memories.
This is my favorite film of all time. But it took me 7 or so viewings for me to get to this point. I love it more with every viewing.
I watched this when I was 10 I'm 19 now and I don't remember a lot of it but it was was and good
Are you still 19
I remember loving this movie as a child but never remembered why! This video just brought back so many memories

When I was little this was my favorite movie but also left me sad asf
Yep I watched it when I was small too, the main thing I remembered was him hiding from carol in KWs stomach
I am in awe of this film and I’ll keep coming back to it in the future. Your review helps capture the magic, too.

I remember watching this film back in my senior year of high school.

Great review!!!
Bro this movie is so nostalgic for me, for so many years I thought it was just a dream!
im 40 years old i still have the book my mom gave me

This was my childhood favorite book!!!
Sleeping in a pile make sense to me you got to keep warm and also the dirt clod fight is a representation of a snowball fight earlier.
Beautiful review. Exactly how I feel like the film should be interpreted
Beautiful insights. Thank you.
As a kid I just didnt like how serious it was. I understood the book was also serious, but damn. There were some scenes that got me hella emotional and I wasnt ready for it as a kid. As an adult I get it a lot more, I think this really is an adults movie with kids characters spliced in. This movie def hits adults harder
This movie is really something special. I'm so thankful I saw it as a kid and as an adult.
i guess for mw i couldn't relate to/understand Max's imagination/games/rules as a kid.
i guess too as a kid rules don't *have* to make sense, or even mean anything, but i was very confused as a kid.
maybe i was just a logical child?
i remember being 8 years old watching this in theaters!
I wish I watched this when it first came out. It looks phenomenal
I happened to watch this for the first time since I was a kid around the winter solstice. The scene about the sun dying was very poignant just for its shear simplicity.

In terms of adaptations
This movie is Goated
I always thought that maybe kw and carol were max and his sister but his mom makes a lot more sense too
I find similarities between the Wild Things and a bunch of old hippies, never grown up and stranded in their commune
Leave
If you liked Where the Wild Things Are and want to watch something somewhat similar, watch “Kooky” or “Finding Kuky” depending how they translate it in your region.
My favorite book when I was a kid
Great vid

When i heard this humming, my heart went into a scary frightening feeling
I remember associating this humming with the scariness of the monsters, goddam
Edit-

This encapsulates the way this song makes me feel, much scarier than it seems
the Wild Things have better facial expression as practical suits than most of the CG models today
Well done. Absolutely.
4:03 to 4:40
This movie is the reason why I have the music taste I have
That was beautiful.
Posted a tiktok about this and didn’t understand why all the comments were saying it traumatized them. I loved this film as a kid so I’m disappointed💀
I don’t understand either. It was amazing and heart warming to me. I never got scared at all watching it.
This movie helped save my life when it was at the hardest
Seems like a lot of other people first watched this as a young kid and was horrified. Happened to me, whenever I watched it again it was still really weird, but really beautiful. One of my very favorite movies now. It's also really interesting because of how all of this obviously never happened, but it doesn't make that obvious and leaves it as if this all could have actually happened too
Give Daniel Credit "come on man"...
I love this movie, it’s all about letting go, and how hard it is.
This movie is so unsettling to me
It is real
I Like The Story But Not The Characters
Nah bruh ion care I watched this when I was younger and was extremely creeped out it was real freaky in my head
watch it again.
@@EngineMusic don’t make me go through it again😭 nah I did it was really good very interesting seeing it from an older perspective
Till this day I don’t understand the dam concept lmao
You probably over analyzed the film
It's Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz, but for a boy. A surreal fantasy that mirrors their real life experiences and relationships.
First time watching it right now. Looking up reviews to see if I'm wasting my time. Give the kid some weed damn!
Man Wtf did I just watch. Some junkie monster going through withdrawal. An autistic adhd kid that thinks he's a dog. I wonder if this movie ever actually made someone cry. This movie is not deep. This movie is annoying garbage and I'm glad I never read the book. 0/5 stars
Got dang hipsters and their indie films
Wow u sound like a fun person to go see a movie with
Go back to watching marvel movies lmao
If y'all take this bait-
i never even knew of this film as a kid but i loved the book. me now, 15, i think they adapted the book extremely well and i rlly enjoyed it
