Nu este un film pentru copii. Dupa primele 10 minute, m-am ridicat din tolaneala, am lasat deoparte popcornul si am dat replay. Desi cautam ceva extrem de lejer pentru cat de chiauna eram, Where the Wild Things Are m-a frapat de la prima secventa : camera surprinde o puslama de baiat in degringolada, imbracat intr-un costum de lup care se napusteste pe scari dupa un caine flocos si pe care-l ataca cu o forta de razboinic viking.
Acelasi copil, mic arhitect de igluuri de gradina, are nefericita idee de a-i provoca pe amicii surorii mai mari la o bataie cu bulgari de zapada. Ultima imagine a episodului il arata pe Max, langa igluul prabusit, sufocat in lacrimi de ciuda si cu o gura schimonosita ce lasa la vedere numai doi dinti. Relevant, pentru ca pe seara ii va spune mamei povestea vampirului-care-si-a-pierdut-dintii-de-lapte. O forma de interpretare mai optimista si-o poveste alternativa care diminueaza si compenseaza penibilul unui esec. Si pe de alta parte, un detaliu simptomatic pentru sistemul de alegorii pe care se construieste tot filmul. O alegorie filtrata printr-o epopee onirica in miniatura.
Partea a doua bulverseaza : fugit de acasa dupa ce surprinde o infidelitate a mamei, Max-puiul-de-lup ajunge, la capatul unei calatorii pe mare, pe un taram al monstrilor cu care intra in cardasie si pe care-i convinge ca le poate fi rege. Nu povestesc mai mult de-atat. Cea mai coerenta explicatie data filmului vine chiar de la Spike Jonze, citat de Cahiers du Cinema ( nr.651) via New York Times – nu cereti link, n-am asa ceva, francezii sunt niste scartzari, pun online numai coperta revistei - va dau insa o idee despre cum se poate gandi o aparenta poveste pentru copii: ” Monstrii sunt, de fapt, niste maxi-emotii, incarnarea a tuturor acelor lucruri intense pe care copiii si adultii le traiesc cateodata.”
Adaptare a cartii lui Maurice Sedak, prieten de-o viata a lui Spike Jonze, Where the Wild Things Are este povestea unui taram al unor ogri permanent nefericiti, carora le lipseste un rege, tot asa cum lui Max pare sa-i lipseasca un tata. Monstri induiosatori, fiecare cu suferinta lui, frustrati, inchisi, resemnati, deveniti tapi ispasitori, scandalagii, inhibati, care se agata de orice speranta de schimbare ca de un pai care sa-i duca dincolo de oceanul ce-i desparte de lume. Unul dintre cele mai frumoase filme de anul trecut.

I didnt renew my season tickets. Im a bit surprised that having two thirds renew is actually in the top third of the league. That means across the league maybe about half the people who are committed enough to try season tickets are satisfied with their purchase. I wasnt really satisfied with the effort on or off the ice last year, but Im still going to follow the team. Ive gotten a lot busier lately, so Wednesdays and Sundays are out. I havent been sold yet that this year will be better than last year. They are talking a good talk, but they did last year too. So its more of a wait and see for now. They just havent been able to prove to me yet they are worth a 39 night commitment. They havent announced it yet. But Im pretty sure they will be playing in Philly again, or at least they are seriously negotiating doing so. I just hope we get a bit more in return, such as a Flyers preseason game. Albany is playing a bunch of games out of town this season as well. How common is that in the AHL these days?
