I love movies, and i am a massive movie-geek. I couldn't list all my favourite films, but screen writing and character development is something i am very interested in. Although my dream is to be a stylist, I could definately see myself working in film.
This film is a gem. From the same people who made 'Harvie Krumpet', it is based on a true story and is brilliantly heart-warming. I really hope It gets Nominated for best Animation for 2011, Best screenplay and best picture would be well deserved as well.
Mary and Max is a story of an unlikely pen-pal friendship of two people from two different countries. Mary an 8 year old from Australia, is a curious child whose confidence was shaken by her alcoholic mother and the boys at her school who make fun of her looks. One day to answer her curiosity of finding out where babies come from, she randomly chose a name out the yellow pages. Leading her to Max Horowitz, a 44-year-old Jewish New Yorker, who is obese and is subject to anxiety attack when in contact with people. The random letter leads to 20 years of correspondence, surviving life’s average ups and downs.
