I can appreciate this movie now that I’m older, but watching it as an 8 year old was the scariest thing ever. Especially being like “why is she standing on the chair with the rope?”
Oh my god exactly, I was 7 when I watched this. I barely processed anything while watching it and almost traumatized me. Just finding this movie again and realizing the guy was Asperger, as I am, brings a new perspective to me.
same it was so traumatic and depressing, I came into my dads room crying. I swear it was under comedy on Netflix, I watched it in primary school. I feel like the style of animation is misleading in a way, targeted towards kids, idk/
Clank. The story is so beautiful about such an unlikely friendship. BTW, they didn't meet until after Mary was older, if that's a concern. I like how clueless they both were but they. helped each other get over significant obstacles in their lives.. LOVE this film.
@@TheRealClankZoka t's also one of the few films in general that plainly talks about people's flaws and obstacles in life without making them victims but very relatable. It's a film I go back to over and over, it's that good.
I had watched this when it was released through my uncle, who was (and is, if I based off of my observations) a very articulate and sentimental man. He was brave and creative. He loved weird movies with deeper meanings that as I a nine-year old child, I could never comprehend. But as I grew older, I realized it was related to what life is really about. Mary and Max was inexplicably odd back then, but sailing through the sea of life with a boat of loneliness like the both of them...it is more meaningful to me now. I was open for ideas and heroines with greater abilities than their own size, and believing that I can create an impact if not on everyone, but on at least one person. But my uncle doesn't talk to me anymore because of some family issues, but this movie reminded me of how he played the greatest role of shaping my creativity and outlook about life.
Knowing what I know now I'd send him this comment, nothing else needed, and see what happens. If nothing then no problem but maybe just maybe it will trigger something good :-)
I'm right there with you. The end had me balling. You have to see "Cuerdas" it's a Spanish animation in the same vein of friendship. It's about these two kids in an orphanage. It's about 10 minutes or so long. My daughter showed it to me on her iPhone and while I was watching it I fell apart. I defy anybody to keep it together after seeing it. It has English subtitles and easy to follow. But damn it's a tear-jerker.
The one and only movie I've watched probably for hundreds of times and still makes me feel the same way each time. I even Remember almost all of the words and dialogues!
Ran across this movie on Netflix a few years back and I think about it daily. One of the most beautiful moves I’ve ever seen! I recommend this to friends and family constantly! Another great one that is so sad but beautiful is “My Life as a Zucchini” 😭💛
When I was younger, I wasnt really into this movie. It bored the death out of me. But now I love the look, and overall theme of this film. Most of the characters are likeable, and memorable. And the animation is charming. I would have to give this movie a 8.1/10
I saw this in cinemas when I was 17. I came out of the theatre a better person. I hope one day that I can make a movie half as insightful, charming and full of emotion.
I want more films with the message of we should strive to treat people more equally irrespective of age. If you were to play back a tape of any person's life, we've all been or will be all ages. Which is outside of our control. We should be less divided by the misalignment of our timelines. It's already a miracle for any two people that get along well to be alive at the same time. We could have been born at any point in human history.
Not a massive fan of Claymation in general, but one of my friends bribed me into this one. Mary & Max is evidence that great story telling is not reliant on technique. An ageless, bittersweet movie of compassion, ensdurance & yes, Love ✨
Here as I wanted to recommend this film to a friend... but just remembered what a big impact this film had on me... I sort of identify with Max, and was also just talking with a penpal now, I haven't showed her this film yet but she is like my Mary... the way we know each other was also pretty similar as she added me on Facebook at random one day, now I have known her at least 7 years (possibly more), so I have pretty much seen her grow up... just as she helped me grow out of old habits I used to have... just hope I don't meet a similar end as Max did
@@asyammm She is such a sweet person... my dream one day is (if my own relationship lasts) to all meet, me, my gf, my penpal and her bf, and enjoy a coffee together (and perhaps some condensed milk)
This movie is hauntingly beautiful. Cannot believe that it has been 15 years since this movie came out and now 15 years later Adam Elliott has another fantastic movie out: Memoir Of A Snail (which similarly to Mary and Max begins in the 1970’s (specifically 1972) and spans decades into the protagonist’s life up until the 90’s/2000’s). Saw this movie as a teenager by accident, as I didn’t see it when it first came out because I was too young (I was 10 when this movie came out). The best way I would describe it to someone is a platonic “Harold and Maude” meets a platonic “You’ve Got Mail”, if it were directed by Tim Burton, with a touch of Richard Linklater’s “Before” trilogy or “Boyhood”. Have to say, rewatching this now, the ending hits harder now that we have lost both Barry Humphries AND Phillip Seymour Hoffmann.
Omygoosh this movie was insame my children died emotionally with this movie and so did i .. WE LOVED IT. 😍 its a strong movie but with adult conversation its wonderful. Its a MASSIVELY impactful movie just wonderful
holy i watched this when i was back in primary school and i just remembered it. totally forgot the name but the searched up 'chocolate hotdogs' and that seemed to work
We all miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. I cry thinking about why he chose the final exit as did Robin Williams, both sons of mothers had as of yet stopped blinding us with their brilliance. I hope there is better now than here was then. You Bastids, STUGOTZ! Love & Greasy Biscuits, MZ
Hot damn I just rewatched this, I don't think I'd seen it since it first came out on the film festival circuit and I loved it then but it's so much more powerful now in this era where mental illness and Autism awareness are so much more prominent. This was such a great film, and RIP Mr. Hoffman.
I'm actually one of those people who watched that movie. Back in 2014 when it was on Netflix. And me and Max have something in common: we both have autism.
i love this movie，it saved me from my depression，i hope max saw mary and her child in the end。 but that's ok，mary did it，at least。 love from china mainland😢
It's a good thing this takes place in the 70s and not the 2000s because Mary 100% would have been groomed in some unmoderated chat room while trying to find 'friends'
I remember to watch this movie like 10 years ago. All I remember when I see this trailer or just stumble across this movie online, is that it was amazing and that it always invokes disgust in me. For some one who never seen this movie it had to seem boring stupid and ugly to look at. But I do remember it was just so good.
I saw it, but I hate the ending. Its just one of those endings where some plots r lift unfinished. like in video games when u finish the game incomplete and it shows some bad clips

Great movie about how friendship with autistic man brought emotionally vulnerable girl to suicide. Truly shows how insufferable and uncaring such people are as friends or partners

you should not have watched it at that age.... :( sad that your parents let you

Me too.

@@magpineapple creepy
Its a legit concern
To be fair Max didn't seem to have any interest besides friendship with Mary, so it's all good and fair imo.

I wish things go back to normal with your family (uncle). Seems that he's a good man
Knowing what I know now I'd send him this comment, nothing else needed, and see what happens. If nothing then no problem but maybe just maybe it will trigger something good :-)
Try to get in touch, life is too short to not see yiur family. No matter how hard it can be, a first step is a good one
Hope you’ll update someday saying you are on speaking terms again…
Can't believe I cried my eyes out over a character made of clay. The movie was so depressing and beautiful at the same time.
That just shows how well written it was.
You are only human mate, plus, everyone you see commenting this movie, whatever they say, they also cried and laugh with it
One of the saddest movies I ever watched. I don’t cry much at all....but I balled my eyes out with this movie for some reason.

@@ultimateempress1739 just because your not a fan doesn't mean you think it's bad
Stop motion
Just finished watching the movie and its freaking good, definitely recommend if you have some time to spare
This movie is incredible. It should be on any bucket list. One of favourite things involving humphries. When I found out this is what sprung to mind.
This is one of my favorite movies and when I read Flowers for Algernon years later Charlie was always pictured as Max in my head.

The animation honestly scares me but I read the plot and it’s so good! Makes me wanna watch it.
Watch it
Not recommended for kids.. but its good though its a sad movie..
how come?
really2 sad :( and so depressed
@@mariee.8333 not really a film for kids
when i first watched this trailer the part at 2:07 had me dying of laughter
Last scene is so heartbreaking
இந்த படம் பேரு மறந்துட்டேன் ஒரு வழியா இந்த trailer கிடைச்சது ❤
Disney touches your wallet.
Studio Ghibli and Laika touches both your heart and soul.
This is neither Disney, Ghibli, nor Laika.
I'm actually one of those people who watched that movie. Back in 2014 when it was on Netflix. And me and Max have something in common: we both have autism.
I find it funny that this trailer makes the film look like a feel good comedy when it is a sad drama
I mean it's a dark comedy.
@hipsterelephant2660 True, but the trailer males it more upbeat than it actually is
This mans films have changed my humour 😂
I used to hate dark comedy, but now i roll around laughing at it
@onlinesafety3635 I laugh uncontrollably at dark comedy
I really need a good cry so i watched this movie. Omagaddd it works. I feel relieved now🥹 im gonna watch it over and over againnn😭🤧
I’m growing fond of this movie !
i love this movie，it saved me from my depression，i hope max saw mary and her child in the end。 but that's ok，mary did it，at least。
love from china mainland😢
That was a really great trailer *^____^*
I searched for old guy friends with a kid sending letter LoL i miss this movie first movie to make me cry as a kid
I love the soundtrack.
I remember i loved watching this when i was little
What A Sad But Beautiful Movie
It's a good thing this takes place in the 70s and not the 2000s because Mary 100% would have been groomed in some unmoderated chat room while trying to find 'friends'
This movie stuck with me
This looks good I might check this out
Philip Seymour Hoffman voiced Max!
Really sad movie that make me cry😭
this animation might remind you of dreamworks's clay animated movies
Even when they laugh, they looks sad 😭😂
This movie is really good but absolutely sad

This movie, what a joy is to even just remember it 🥹
Anyone recommend a good movie like this one

is it sybolism that in Mary's street it's somewhat coulourful whereas Max's is all grey?
