Film Discussion: Mary & Max
14 years ago
General
This is probably one of the best animated movies I've seen, if not one of the best movies I've seen period. For a film with constant narration, I never felt pandered to or annoyed, more like it helped temper the heavy elements with a kind of playfulness that kept you from getting too overwhelmed with grief. And there are many moments where the pain quotient goes off the scale, especially depending on how well you can relate to the extreme loneliness these characters feel. I can definitely relate to Max and his black and white world view; even if I see myself as doing a bit better than himself there are still many ways I can work on my own Aspergers. The ending was pretty sad but suited the movie, also I'd say all people who have Aspergers and people who know others with said learning disability should watch this film and maybe they'll better understand their friends.
I give this 10/10 and definitely will see it again, and I plan to own this film one day.
What did you guys think?

This actually flew up to being one of my favorite movies. I'd probably see it again (which is rare), but not for a long while at least.
and the ending was fantastic. Many endings disappoint but that one was perfect.
