WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (2009)
SYNOPSIS
Innovative director Spike Jonze collaborates with
celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the
most beloved books of all time to the big screen in
“Where the Wild Things Are,” a classic story about
childhood and the places we go to figure out the world
we live in. The film tells the story of Max, a
rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels
misunderstood at home and escapes to where the
Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he
meets mysterious and strange creatures whose
emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their
actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader
to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule.
When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a
place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds,
though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his
relationships there prove to be more complicated than
he originally thought. --© Warner Bros
