Where The Wild Things Are Options

So uh, I'm amazed there's no topic on this movie yet.

I loved it. I haven't been so excited for a movie in a long time. I don't think I've ever enjoyed every minute of a film so much either. Maybe I'm a little obsessed or exaggerating, but this movie will absolutely brilliant in my mind. Each day that goes by saddens me that I'm not watching it again D:

Who here saw it so far? Going to? Thoughts?

I'll post more stuff if we get some activity going.

For one, the movie is very different from anything I've ever seen. The overall feel is very unique. You can tell there was a lot of effort that went into the movie by a great deal of professionals. You need also realize this movie was 18 years in the making. Even when Spike Jonze agreed to make it there was still a ten year period between then and release. The movie itself took about four years to actually produce. Largely, the film had to be done in such a way that it would honour the book and reflect Maurice Sendak's true intentions.

Second, I just love every moment of the movie. I know I'm exaggerating perhaps, but I have never been so happy to sit there and watch a film before. I felt a very strong emotional connection, I suppose.

All I can really tell you is to watch it and see for yourself. I know a number of people who weren't too impressed but thought it was okay. To me this movie is just very special.
