I know, im late….but this movie touched upon something every little boy and girl go through growing up…facing loneliness and making sense of love. Love is such a mystery. There are so many levels to love. Love can be for a friend, for a family member, for a toy, for a brother, for a sister, for a peice of food or for a special someone….love can be for a movie or for a vertain smell… love is everywhere at all times in a various form or expression. Its just us who arnte alway in tune with it.
When did we let go of our imaginations? Wen did we let go of our fascination with the world not only around us but also inside of us? This movie touches on so many real and emotional aspects of our existence. I think it is really well done and leaves you wanting more, way more.
It reminds me of a feeling I had when I was a young boy reading the Narnia chronicles by lamplight, listening to Enya and fantasizing i was the prince, or that i would one day wake up and meet Aztlan. Arn’t fantasies awesome!?
But more importantly, before my free thought writing takes me on a coarse way off topic….back to love. I guess love is what defines our happiness. If we have love in some form or another we feel more happy, if we are missing love we feel less happy. Yet how do we find love? Well…..perhaps love finds us when we express ourselves to others in kindness, acceptance, patience, compassion.
Its late, im sleepy, these are half baked thoughts i’d love to explore more in mysleep….goodnight

You’re such an amazing writer!!!!
“Where the Wild Things Are” is one of the first books I remember as a child. It opened a new part of my imagination that has never closed.
.
thanks for reminding me of that.
Sim,
We never have to be too mature nor so young to know what our Heart feels. It’s the understanding of LOVE we need to embrase.
I Truely admire your thoughts especially on this Blog! And Where The Wild Things Are is an Awesome movie! In all honesty I did the same when I was growing up, fantasizing to be a prince.
I’m very glad you mentioned this movie, I have always loved the story of where the wild things are. My first memories of this story stem back to when I was a child in kindergarten class back in ‘92. I was first attracted to the illustrations, and only as I got older did I begin to understand the story. To touch on your topic of love, I do agree with your point of view, and on the subject of our imaginations well I think that as we get older it’s deemed as unacceptable to still have the same imaginative mindset of a young child/adolescent. I say unacceptable meaning that more emphasis is placed on being focused with our mind on the prize, because when you have the same type of imagination as a child then you lack focus, and in todays world we all have a purpose and are always busy. Great post though I do look forward to you posting much more.
It really is an insanely good movie.
Everything we loved about childhood and then forgot…
what happened to the days where children actually played outside instead of on video games all day?
Our socities constant need to go, go, go has left its children in a path of unimaginative intellectualism. Quite sad.
