Where The Wild Things Are

There is one in all of us. As soon as I saw the photo stills of the film in IMDB, I had to see the trailer. Years ago while I was living in Selayun I always went to the HuaHo close by and everytime, I went straight to the toys section. I usually skip a shelf with the creepy toys. The toys being models of monsters from Where The Wild Things Are. To my understanding then, they came from a children's book. They looked so weird, I thought they must be kidding. That was almost a decade ago. I look at them now and still feel a bit nostalgic.

This is the first time I saw a fantasy story depicted like an independent film. It's not like Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings. The main focus is the world and you can feel the width of it from just watching it. The mind of a child is definitely a powerful thing. Animatronics always intrigue me because they always make it feel realistic. CGI was used on the monsters expressions, or else it'll be just furry men in suits. In my opinion, this is how creatures should be portrayed in film. Magical but tangible. I have never felt so touched by a movie trailer since I saw Children of Men.
