Mary and Max 2009
Max Jerry Horowitz:
"Dr. Bernard Hazelhof said if I was on a desert island, then I would have to get used to my own company; just me and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all, and that we don't get to choose our warts. They are part of us and we have to live with them. We can, however, choose our friends, and I am glad I have chosen you."
"Tell Bernie Clifford your birth mark is made of chocolate, which means when you get to heaven you will be in charge of all the chocolate. This of course is a lie, I do not like lies, but in this case I think it will be of benefit. I wish I could be in charge of all the chocolate, but of course I can not, because of my Atheism."
"The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect. You are imperfect. And so am I. All humans are imperfect. Even the man outside my apartment who litters. When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself. Dr. Bernard Hasselhoff said if I was on a desert island, then I would have to get used to my own company. Just me… and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself: my warts and all. And that we don’t get to choose our warts. They are a part of us and we have to live with them. We can however, choose our friends. And I am glad I have chosen you. Dr. Bernard Hasselhoff also said that everyone’s lives are like a very long sidewalk. Some are well paved. Others, like mine, have cracks, banana skins and cigarette butts. Your sidewalk is like mine, but probably not as many cracks. Hopefully, one day our sidewalks will meet and we can share a can of condensed milk. You are my best friend. You are my only friend."
Do you have a favourite-sounding word? My top-five are "ointment," "bumblebee," "Vladivostok," "banana," and "testicle."
Narrator:
"He smelled like licorice and old books, she thought to herself, as tears rolled from her eyes, the color of muddy puddles."
Trecho extraido do maravilhoso filme Mary and MaxMovie: Mary and MaxSong: Pink Martini - Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)Lyrics:Wh
Such a haunting drama movie which was written from life by a director who has a real feeling and sympathy for people who don't quite fit into the world, and feel alienated or are misunderstood by others. Mary with neglect, insecurities and depression and Max with Asperger.
My tears fell like rain for Mary and Max throughout every choke in their life.
I feel so much of myself for Mary, being bullied, neglected, so much invested in Psychology and then depressed until almost ending it all by hanging.
