There's one in all of us


I really, really want to see this. I absolutely love the trailer, partly because the music fits the theme and tone of the story so well. I'm partial to love a scene in a movie if I love the music, though. I just think this trailer is put together so well.

I don't really remember loving the book when I was younger, but after having read it since finding out they were adapting it into a movie, I can see why people love it so much. It captures the essence of being young, and I think it's timeless. I work with kids on a daily basis who could easily replace Max; they're so full of life and possibility, and completely unaware of anything that could potentially keep them down. That's why I love working with kids. They make you forget about your personal issues, and you unknowingly give all of your energy trying to preserve that innocence for as long as possible. I feel, as we grow up, that inherent innocence goes hand in hand with the 'wild things' that drive us to do what we do. Just like the poster says, "There's one in all of us." I couldn't have said it better.
