Most Imaginative Movie I've Seen!
PostedOctober 20, 2009

from Kansas
I became interested in seeing this movie after reading reviews for the novel, The Wild Things. I knew from the beginning that this was not the wistful, picture-book rendition of old, but instead a sometimes sad, sometimes humorous look back on childhood from an adult perspective. I read the book to my son and my third grade class, taking time to explain (and sometimes censor) the more controversial parts. I was relieved to see that the movie was never as dark as the book, but I can see how those who have not read the book would be lost. Adults and children alike need to be prepared for an intellectual challenge before viewing the movie. Once you understand what the 'wild things' symbolize, you appreciate the genius of this work.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
