"Where The Wild Things Are" is a breathtakingly honest meditation on how all of us, but kids especially, are often unable to convey our true emotions. What we really want is somewhere to belong, to know that we are loved and to love in return. Spike Jonze along with co-screenwriter Dave Eggers have taken a seemingly simple children’s story and turned it into a reflection of life. Filled with beautiful images, incredible performances and the whimsy and adventure of the original story, Jonze has fleshed out WTWTA in all the right ways and has made this film less of an adaptation and more of a read between the lines. This film is the perfect embodiment of the human experience as told from the perspective of a young boy who is just a little bit wild and a whole lot scared.
It is true – inside all of us is a Wild Thing.
