Anne, your words ring true to my ears. This movie was so beautifully done. And your review is as if I'd written it myself. You are so right on. I never use screenit (imdb is used at our house), and now for sure I won't ever use it. Yes, let the Wild Rumpus Begin!Loni Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792212100077621754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551722831348391329.post-40839153501363270282009-10-18T20:12:51.539-04:002009-10-18T20:12:51.539-04:00I had to wait two days to read this, until I saw t...I had to wait two days to read this, until I saw the movie. Do you know how hard that was?! Very hard, indeed. I did not see the screenit.com review as I have a very hard time with reviews, BUT I am so glad that you addressed that author's awful interpretation of Max in such a perfect way.<br />You know, it would be lovely to screen WTWTA at the Shine conference if it's available on DVD by then... there is no group of humans, big and small, I'd rather share this movie with than the Shine group!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15071024269750727711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551722831348391329.post-23788972298666610352009-10-17T08:57:06.631-04:002009-10-17T08:57:06.631-04:00I love you Anne. For me the Wild Rumpus is brough...I love you Anne. For me the Wild Rumpus is brought by the children who fight for their voices to be heard. Brought by the children who know they have just as much right to be heard as the adults they're always hearing. Not all children are able to retain the belief they deserve to be honoured and heard in a society which believes they don't and not all of them possess the determination to make sure that belief materializes. Max is one of them. Jude is one of them. I've always thanked Jude for fighting for his voice to be heard, honoured and respected (celebrated!)and, this is HUGE, not losing faith in my ability to hear him even if it takes me a little while and a Big Rumpus. That's one of the biggest gifts he gives me. It's never occurred to me to diagnose him or discipline for this strength/power. I live in awe of it.<br /><br />-Nicole PinchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
