Comments on: When I Was 9: ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ — Feeling & Attitude More Important Than Plot https://staging2.theplaylist.net/when-i-was-9-where-wild-things-are-20090902/ Tue, 10 Nov 2020 09:01:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: rodrigoperez https://staging2.theplaylist.net/when-i-was-9-where-wild-things-are-20090902/#comment-10481 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:38:22 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=6348#comment-10481 I'm not saying it's a bad thing and am trying to articulate the overall theme of that 7.500 word article. If you read it all, there's a lot of "feeling over plot" stuff and it basically states that this was WB's issue with the film.

This was my mild issue with the script, but overall i thought it was great and a wonderful story. By all accounts they shot what was on the page, so unless they fuck up the monsters and their expressions look unbelievable, this one should be aces.

Isn't this a conscious decision that might be considered a strength (in artistic terms, not commercial terms). Would you describe The 400 Blows in terms of narrative deficiency?

I hope that after the success of "Where The Wild Things Are" that Spike gets a crack at "Harold & The Purple Crayon" again. I think it could be something very magical in his hands.
