Where The Wild Things Are
// 16th December
I watched Where The Wild Things Are. (Semi-spoiler-alert.) It is a good movie, though nothing new really happens throughout the movie, nothing eventuates. And I don’t mean that it doesn’t have an acceptable ending, I mean that nothing actually develops–the things that are happening at the end are the same things that were happening at the start. But that’s okay.
It’s a story about a little world that is falling apart. Both the lives of the inhabitants and the environment they live in is in a downward spiral of disrepair. And so they long for a king who can make everything okay again. It is surprisingly funny. And I think we should all sleep in a pile.

a real pile! You can’t have secret rooms either.
Also, it struck me that the movie could be a really powerful metaphor for any number of things.
