[microlab1986]

The other day me and my girl friend decided to have home-date-watch movies....date, so long story short while i was browsing the movies i stumbled upon rather grimish looking poster of what i thought was a cgi movie (turned out to be clay-pupet like chicken run) called mary and max (the poster is shown below)

"based on true story" what drives me to rent it....and after watching it i have one word to describe it

AMAZING

this movie was truly amazing in fact i think it deserves the oscar (it was better than "up" and you can imagine what i mean)

and it wasnt just me,apparently this movie was well critically recieved too and some of them called it a masterpiece and others irresistable
and i personally gave him 9.5/10

The story can be described as fairy tale (it extends from the 70's up to 90's)......an isolated-fat six years old girl with no friends and slightly ugly face (lived in Austerlia) was wondering one day about something (not gonna tell you what because i want you to see it yourself) while she was in small store with her drunk mother she saw an American addresses book and started to read the names, some was funny in her opinoin and she wondered how they looked like
that when she had an idea of picking a randomly name to ask him which was max.......Max was a 44 retarted obesed man with simple mind (his life was so fragile that when his fish died he had to buy a new one so that his life wont change), upon reading the letter he was frightened and anxios, but after 18 hour of staring outside the window he wrote back hence making an unusual but strong friendship

the film is full of surprises (i guess since it was based on true story) and humor and lots and lots of funny and unusual conversition (i quote from max "people only believe in god so they can explain things like where is the universe come, will the worms go to heaven and why grandmothers has blue hair")

truly the movie is worth checking and i am not ashamed when i say i shed tears when i watch it

so my advice to you is to watch this masterpiece (oh and one last think....although it is an animation it is not for kids....16+ i think)
