Is anyone else hyped up for the movie adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are?
It's directed by Spike Jonze - a fantastic director and excellent choice for this movie - and from the trailer, it looks fantastic. I love the music too - Arcade Fire!
I would even go so far as to say that it seems to be a much better adaptation than what Alice in Wonderland is shaping up to be.
I've never read the book, but I've followed the movie for a while. It looks pretty good, and I'm sure my family will watch it eventually.

Okay, so I just went to see the movie with a bunch of guys on my floor. I was totally unfamiliar with the plot, having never read the book. There was so much symbolism in the movie... I think that the movie was depicting all the wild things as different parts of his personality... I think that Casey was representing his family relationships. Pretty much the whole movie was way deeper than I would have ever thought. It went over my head, at times. The average ten year old is not going to see past the obvious of this movie.... Any other thoughts?
I haven't seen the movie, or read the book, but it does look interesting! From looking at box office numbers, it appears to be a very successful movie. I'll probably watch it on DVD.

If you watch the trailer and change out the music for some intense horror-eque music, it'd totally fit.
Just saying.

I loved that book as a child because it really fired my imagination, but the trailer made me go, "Eh, I think I'd rather just stick with my imagination."
I haven't seen the movie, but I never really cared for the book as a child. I don't think I care to see the movie, because the preview and several articles have cited the movie as "too adult". If adults will understand it and most kids won't, I probably won't enjoy it (or maybe I will). I'll have to see the movie to be able to really say.
They say all roads lead to Rome, and all roads lead through Indiana. But I say that in the world of Odyssey, all roads lead to Novacom.
I love this movie!! I went to see it this past week with my English class and I thought it was really good. I agree, there was a whole lot of symbolism in it.
