![]() ![]() Funny, dark, and alive, The Wild Things is a timeless and time-tested tale for all ages. But things get complicated when Max realizes that the Wild Things want as much from him as he wants from them. He lands on the island of the Wild Things, and soon he becomes their king. Eggers wrote the screenplay with his wife, Vendela Vida, and together with Wild Things it marks his 2009 double-screenwriting-debut. He finds a boat there, jumps in, and ends up on the open sea, destination unknown. When I say he sometimes gets the wrong end of the stick about adults, or dislikes his mothers new boyfriend, or gets. During a fight at home, Max flees and runs away into the woods. At the same time, he finds himself capable of startling acts of wildness-he wears a wolf suit, bites his mom, can't always control his outbursts. His father is gone, his mother is spending time with a younger boyfriend, his sister is becoming a teenager and no longer has interest in him. The Wild Things, based loosely on the storybook by Maurice Sendak and the screenplay co-written with Spike Jonze, is about the confusions of a boy, Max, making his way in a world he can't control. ![]()
