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
