Uniquely Critiquing

Where the Wild Things Are?= 2 1/2 Gs and ****

This was a great movie. It was very sad and it goes over the heads of most little kids. I understand it was made for kids but the concepts in the movie and the message of the movie seemed to need a grown-up and teenager maturity level. The youngest generation in my household thought it was too sad to watch. It was overwhelming depressing to them. It was amazing for me. I give this movie 2Gs but I am still going to buy it just for myself because it was **** for me.

Sporadic Quotes

"What they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure, does not testify to your inferiority but to their inhumainty and fear."

-James Baldwin

Poem of the Day

The Light is so bright. It hurts to look up.
I hold the dark on my back constantly trying to look up.
“Look down” says the light
“Don’t you dare try to be higher than me” – the light
“Look down” says the light
“You can never be me”- the light
“Look up” says my heart
“Look up” says my spirit
“You are not the light but you do not have to be”- heart and spirit
“Look up” says me
“You are inferior to no one and you make your own light”- me
“So look away while I shine brighter than you. Look away while I make your nightmares come true…”-me
“Look away while I do my thing”- me
“Look away light don’t look down and don’t beat yourself down while I become my own light.” - ME
