Watched this movie in Gold Class at Westfield Parramatta. On top of our $50 voucher, we had to pay $24 more. That's fricking' $37 per person! Should've watched 2012 instead to make it worthwhile. I mean, 2 hours and 4o minutes.Saw the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are, and I liked it. Should've stopped at the trailer and not watch the movie 'coz you're not missing much. Story of a kid called Max who has a wild imagination and overly hyper. One time, he overstepped the line and bit his Mom on the shoulder. Mom shouted, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Max didn't agree with her observation, and stormed out of the house. He found a boat and sailed into the oceans and later landed on the island of the Wild Things.
Bluffing about his abilities, he became king of the Wild Things. They don't really do much - wrecking houses, smashing trees, building forts, having dirt-clod battles, etc. Beneath all this fun and contentment, there's an undercurrent of tension, as some of the Wild Things feel that Max is playing favourites. Some even suspect that he's not a king - "regular, like us." Carol later discover Max' secret and throws a tantrum, threatening to eat him. Max eventually leaves the island, 
but not before settling their differences.So you see, this is how Max deals with his pent-up angst and rage. He realizes that it's fun to be wild, but there are consequences to other people, and he has to be sensitive to that and not be selfish. At the end of the movie, he comes back home. Instead of giving him a good beating, his Mom was at the kitchen waiting for him with a piece of cake, which Max eats in silence.
