Where the Wild Things Are

東妮：
從未想過，有天童話會在銀幕出現。
最愛兒童繪本之一，Maurice Sendak 的 “Where the Wild Things Are”。
Spike Jonze 將經典童話化成有血有肉的影象，由前戀人 Karen O 和 Arcade Fire加上配樂 。Jonze 是厲害的導演，別忘記他曾導超好看的《Being John Malkovich》 。
還有比這個更強的組合嗎?

The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays around his home, "making mischief" in a wolf costume by chasing the dog with a fork and growling at his mom. As punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper. In his room, a mysterious, wild forest grows out of his imagination, and Max journeys to the land of the Wild Things. The Wild Things are fearsome-looking monsters, but Max conquers them "by staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once," and he is made "the King of all Wild Things." However, he soon finds himself lonely and homesick, and he returns home to his bedroom, where he finds his supper waiting for him, still hot.


Trailer的畫面令人動容。
“Wake Up”，男孩倔張的臉，靈氣的野獸，喑湧的大海，表面平靜的森林，暴烈的火焰，不斷疾走的腳步，在急旋的空間……
只存在夢境裡的一切，看得眼眶都熱了。
熱切期待十月的到來。
