Truly Dreadful Film
Did you people see the same film I saw?
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
How do is start to explain to you how strong and powerful this movie could and how relatable it is? how it moved me literally, changed me, taught me new things new, new perspective, you may think i am overreacting but trust i am as close as it gets to being normal when it comes to this matter. the beauty of this movie the stop motion and the details are perfect. The story is rich with emotions, humor and really fun details, it gives you a vibe of life as if they you are living inside that realm. Watch it and you won't regret
This is my go to late night movie, I don't know which I like better the soundtrack or the sepia tone. It just lulls me into a state of relaxation.It is witty, sad, thoughtful and surprising. While I would not recommend it for a child, I seriously doubt the get any of the subtle 'adult' humor. I have used so many lines from this movie, Clemenza, Sonny and the gang are getting jealous!
This Aussie animation is one of the best animation made. It has humour, drama and a message. After I watched this I started looking for more films directed by Adam Elliot but unfortunately, he hasn't directed anything else apart from some short films which were funny too.I love dark animation with adult humour and sadly there are not many out there. People do admire it, example is Family Guy but we need variety, different humour and this film delivers that. Hopefully Mr Elliot is working on a new project and there will be another animation to come as this film is far by one of my most favourite animation of all time as it makes you laugh most of the time, makes you cry and most importantly makes you think. Highly recommended !!
The Lumière brothers should be proud of Max and Mary (2009) - Top Rated Movies #179. At the end of the day, they created 'cinema' so that it develops to such a degree that it brings us masterpieces like this animation-comedy-drama. In here, observers get satisfied with three components: the art of clay animation/ Claymation (1), the 'admirable and sudden' friendship between Mary Daisy Dinkle and Max Jerry Horovitz (2), along with all unexpected and comical idiomatic expressions (3), such as "Mary Dinkle's eyes were the colour of muddy puddles. Her birthmark, the colour of poo." or "Butts are bad because they wash out to sea, and fish smoke them and become nicotine-dependent". And, in addition to this, spectators are also able to enjoy the way in which these two characters cultivate their friendship following the antiquated "letter-box-way", without any kind of technology. Surely, the beauty of Adam Elliot's 92 minutes comes from the latter perspective.It is intriguing to take part of the 'reading letters' connection between Australia (Mary) and the United States (Max) now that societies have changed their ways of communicating. Perhaps, if they have used Skype or WhatsApp, it would not have been as accurate as it ended being. It is undoubtedly much better the way they imagine the other with letters, pictures and sweets, than sending videos or sharing mobile calls. To put it briefly, this movie is like a book, and if it was made with the latest trends of XXI century, it was going to be like any Netflix series. However, because of the fact that each of them is located in the back of beyond, cinema-goers are under pressure all movie long. Who does not want to see these two weirdos together? It would have been great, would not it? Notwithstanding, despite their unhappy and boring lives (we all have our own problems in this busy world) they find enough time to write and share their stories. Nowadays, the world is full of 'plastic people' and one never know if it is better to share some story with a relative or acquaintance than with someone in the boonies. As it says at the end of the film, "God gives us our relatives, thank God we can choose our friends." (Ethel Watts Mumford), which clearly means that sometimes it is even better to choose a stranger because of all the trouble one could receive and save from a closer friend. To conclude, it should be pointed out that plenty of every-day-life personalities are shown during the movie. We all have met, or even are currently dealing with that elderly man or woman, that beggar, the presumptuous lady, the people at the bus station, the typical neighbour, and on and on. They are all pawns in our daily basis – they just seem to be the responsible ones for some of our actions. Despite that, we truly need to concentrate in the ones that make us 'happy' and fulfilled, like it does Max or Mary, because we are all strange and the only thing we need is to find the ones that are ready to jump on the same train – our soul mate. P.S. My rating is 10 out of 10. P.P.S. "Scent of a Woman" (1992) was my favourite movie. P.P.P.S. Mary and Max it is now replacing its place.
