where the wild things are

i think that the film adaptation of where the wild things are was a pretty successful one. I think this because it was based off a picture book so they had to infer and add a lot of things into it to make it a longer movie. spike jonze made up names for the monsters and made up a more developed plot about max and how he ruled as their king. he also had to add dialogue into the movie which I think he did a good job picking the voices of the monsters and what they said. i also think that they did job of picking the editing between scenes because it all flowed really nicely. I also think the music choice was a little weird but it fit well with the movie since the movie is a little weird and it matched the mood at the time of the movie. I like how they changed the film angles and shots because it would let you see the setting then zoom up o everyone or a specific person or thing. I liked the costume choices of the characters in Where the wild things are. I liked he look of the monsters and how max's wolf costume got wet dirty and dry and didn't stay the same throughout the movie. I also think that it was really cute hoe they added max's doodles o the logos in the beginning because it adds character to the movie. I think the setting of the island was really cool. I thin it was smart to make some of it a desert some of it a beach and some like a forest. I personally did like this movie. the movie got a little weird at times but over all it was pretty good. between the movie and the children's book I would probably pick the book because it is less weird and its just cute. the movie made me feel many different emotions, some parts it was funny some were happy some were sad and you didn't know how it would make you feel next. I think that all the characters were so different and that made it hard for them to be happy which is what they wanted max to help them with. I like how they had them wreck the houses in the beginning so they could build a bigger and better one together that they could all fit in. although I overall liked the movie there are some things I didn't like about this movie. one o the things I didn't like was the names of the monsters. the boy monsters were named girl names and it kind of confused me because I didn't know who they were talking about at times. I also didn't like how max ran away and then went into the woods and then just showed up in a boat already sailing away. I think that they should have done it like in the book how he imagined his room turning into a forest then finding a bot then sailing away. but over all I think it was a good film adaptation.
