A Tale of Friendship

Mary and Max

okk i have 2 say i used 2 stay away from clay animated movies because i didn't quite like such animation( ya havn't yet watched wallace and gromit my bad!!!!),i rmmbr i heard about this movie last yr during the summer vacations ,and i also knew its based on a true story bt forgot ,i dunno how but during my random searches i had an encounter with this muvy again..and this tym i did c it. 

           The story is about two people , Mary Daisy Dinkle a 8 yr old from Australia and Max Jerry Horowitz a 44 yr old from America ;they both seem different from each other in  every possible way,except 1 common factor : loneliness . Mary feels she's been overlooked by her parents and Max has a problem that he finds the world ...hmmm... at best confusing(later we come 2 know the reason). 

    so wen she writes 2 max 2 clear her doubts and max writes back after recovering from a nervous breakdown( he keeps getting them whenever something unexpected happens) a chain of letters begins(yep the story is about 2 pen-pals) and we see the characters grow(literally as well as figuratively) , they both find world easier to cope up with after this as they know they have a friend to share the pain and discuss the problems,well they do have a fall out (and a big 1) but in the end they are back to being friends again. 

           Its a dark comedy and the setting of the movie is very depressing as they keep facing problems in there lives, the only thing that's cheerful is there friendship,the letters are bound to bring smile on your face the doubts of mary and the solutions of max are just too good. The ending ,i love it,it is how it should have been .The narration of the movie is 1 of the best i have seen in animated movies and i guess that's why i love the movie even more.

        the muvy tells us that friendship knows no boundaries ,its got no rules and as C.S lewis said friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another " what!! you too?? i thought i was the only one!".      

P.S. : if u felt lonely or down and ur friends came and cheered u up ,u'll love it.

P.S.S : if u had a fall out with ur long time friend and have stopped talking,watch the movie and take a lesson.

P.S.S.S: watch d muvy and u'll know the reason for me having added so many post scripts . :D

                      

      

don't judge a book by its cover

this post is related to the animated movie i saw today " the iron giant" (if u wanna know the technical details about it plz wiki it). people generally discard animated movies and term them as childish but the fact they forget is that most of them are made by adults and sometimes serious issues are also shown in anime which i think cannot b shown in the same way in real life movies.now, getting back to the movie i saw its name in one of the imdb lists of " must watch animated movies " so i was tempted to see.

     
its a splendid movie ,and by every means,its got every emotion,the happiness u feel wen hogarth befriends the iron giant ,the way he teaches him 2 talk,that u are what u decide to be ,soul's never die are quite heart-warming, u can't but loathe the NSA agent who'll do just about everything to destroy the giant even if it means causing harm to people,the hopelessness (yep u do feel it towards the finish at one point of time).in the end its a story of sacrifice and hope that good things never die....that its us who decide the final outcome of the act ,that each one of us makes a difference in this world .the iron giant was actually a weapon but still decided  to be like his idol( superman).we as human beings stop believing in things we did when we were kids,we call it being rational but in this process we limit our imaginations .

we doubt the motives of everyone we see,that every1 is harmful ,this muvy teaches us that trust is what matters the most sometimes,giving people a chance to prove themselves wen they really deserve it. the last scene of the movie is my favorite, i can't but keep smiling after watching it.

this movie deserves to be seen by one and all bcoz it doesn't have mindless shooting and killing like the terminator series and is not a big budget no story like transformers,its a movie that instills our faith in goodness and humanity and meets its purpose of sending its message across beautifully.....
