Watched Where the Wild Things Are. It was very pretty, at least visually, but I wasn't a great fan of that particular interpretation of the original story. They wrote off Max's "wildness" as a result of his being the child divorce; he was acting out because he was sad and lonely and whatever. But the original story never gave us a reason, and Max was wild simply because he wanted to be. As a child I never needed a good reason to be bad, I just was. I was bad because I felt like it, and I would keep being bad until I got bored. And then I'd be bad again as soon as the impulse hit, because it felt good. Children feel no need to justify their behavior. Adults do, because they see this inherent violence in children--and in each other--and it scares them shitless. They need to come up with a reason for it that they can live with. Excuses are a very adult thing.
