God, that ending hurt.. One thing that's interesting to me is how Max died smiling looking at the letters Mary sent him. Mary, who tried to kill herself, sits beside his body, smiling at the mementos of their friendship. She holds her baby, who survived Mary's suicide attempts, and appears to be fine and healthy. It feels like... I don't know. Someone who died, someone who tried to die, and someone who was full of life.

16:51 Actually it does have a HUGE impact. When Max wins the lottery, one of the things he buys is the full collection of the Noblit figures. Which he then later sends to Mary to show that he has forgiven her. When Mary was about to hang herself, she gets a knock at her door which turns out to be the neighbor that is delivering the package, and thereby saving her from committing suicide.

Best bit of the film for me is that anything that either one sends to the other keeps the colour from where it came from. Mary is literally brightening Max’s world, with bee brown letters and parcels allowing him some relief from his monotonous greyscale life, while Max is presenting Mary with his own unique take on his world, while he fosters her curiosity and her passion for knowledge. I must admit, as many times as I have seen this film, I didn’t even notice the Mime’s scarf being orange, but I love how the pom-pom and the fire from the Statue of Liberty are distinct and noticeable, almost as if they gain that colour from the feelings of people. Mary sends the pom-pom, with the hope of making a friend. People see the Statue of Liberty everyday, each able to project their own feelings and aspirations on it. Oven Marjorie Buttersworth uses her lipstick to convey her not so subtle motives. Final bit, before this becomes an essay. In the entirety of the film, there are no straight lines. Everything is twisted and ever so slightly wonky, which is such a refreshing break from the pristine facade of reality. I really can’t say just how amazing this film is, without writing an essay, but it deserves all the attention and praise that it receives.

So many people in my class thought that Mary & Max was problematic in the sense that it’s “stereotyping autistic people badly”. But honestly, stereotypes are never going to be perfect, one. And two, as an autistic person I felt very connected to him and while I am a high functioning autistic person, I used to and still, have very many similar traits that he has. I love this film and I think it represents the higher part of the spectrum beautifully.

Yeah I find the “That’s not my autism so it’s not accurate” gatekeeping argument really strange because they should realize that everyone is different, hence why autism is on a spectrum.

That negatively affects us on the milder end of the spectrum as there are rarely any in-between in media where a lot of Autists are. This movie hits that middle ground and is a more honest take on higher functioning autism, a breath of fresh air. Max is a character I am able to relate to, unlike Sheldon from Big Bang Theory or whoever the guy in The Good Doctor is named.

Something major this film does that a lot of other films routinely fail to do is show Max's autistic traits without any sort of judgement. A lot of films try their hardest to romanticize autism in an effort not to offend people, mainly by putting 'comfortable' traits of autism in the spotlight (savant syndrome, quirky use of language, acceptable special interests like trains) and 'uncomfortable' traits out of view (stimming, loneliness.) Other films can go the opposite direction and portray autism as the worst thing that could happen. In this film, I didn't feel like they were trying to force an opinion on me, mainly because it showed both sides of autism. It wasn't afraid to show the particularly difficult bits (stimming, overstimulation, meltdowns, loneliness, and even difficulty holding a job.) But it also wasn't afraid to show the positive sides SUBTLY...and this is important: they didn't rely on old tropes and stereotypes such as savant syndrome. Max likes solving problems, but he isn't smarter than anyone else. Still, Max's autism helped him in numerous ways, largely in logically analyzing his surroundings rather than having a purely emotional response. As mentioned in the film, Max fulfilled his personal goals and bought what made him happy with his lottery money, instead of seeking out luxuries. He also states early in the film that he quickly moved away from religion because he read books that proved it was illogical. Little things like that guide you to seeing the world as Max does, which is one step at a time, and not largely motivated by goals outside of his reach or interests.

Jesus Christ, the ending got me. That genuinely hurt. They didn't get to meet each other in person after all that time. And the letters taped to the ceiling got me a bit choked up.

As an Autistic person myself, this movie feels so...emotionally connected. Holy crap, this movie. I will add to something with how Max reacted to Mary's book. After all, he clearly stated that he doesn't want to be fixed. So, to him, the book Mary made may have easily been seen as Mary saying that she wanted to fix him, even if he didn't want to be. And, as someone who struggles with their words myself (especially in anger and of frustration), his reaction seems...relatable.

I remember watching this as a child. I was too young to understand that Max had aspergers, that Mary was suicidal and that there were things wrong with an 8 year old writing to a 44 year old. Even though I couldn't understand anything, it left an impact on me that i'd say helped me when I was older in life. Glad to see this film's also seen as great in other people's eyes.

What i love is how as mary starts off cheery and innocent, and max is stressed and anxious, And then max becomes happier and mary becomes stressed and awful. Even after that Mary becomes happy again, and max dies happy. Resulting in a beautiful ending.

I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE!!! 😃 When I first discovered it and learned that Max is an Aspie like me, I was hooked. I'm an Aspie myself and there were so many traits that I could relate to with Max. Not only that, it gave a simple yet great explanation about Asperger's Syndrome. Like in a way everyone can understand. The friendship between Mary and Max was so sweet and I welled up at the end. Especially when you see he died smiling as he read every single letter she sent.

20:00 If Max's talking had been cut down, it would have seriously disrupted a key part of his character. Autistic people tend to ramble at length when you get us talking about our lives or the things we love. Many of us are detail-oriented people and we like to be as informative as possible. Even in this comment, you can see that I tend to write entire paragraphs instead of being concise. Max is a spectacular representation and the fact his lack of filter shows that the creator of the film truly understood how to write an autistic character. This was an awesome video but Max being wordy was *not* a negative. That's how many real life autistic people are.

My friend and neighbor Jim is autistic though I don't believe he has Asbergers. He uses to work as on aircraft electronics systems when he was in the air force. If you've ever heard of the "Wild Weasels" that is the unit he was apart of. Then he worked for NASA as a contractor and certain US intelligence agencies as well. One day, when he was having a pretty rough morning he said to me, "it's just so frustrating that I know how to operate, disassemble, repair, and reassemble multi million dollar state of the art electronic systems, but it takes me over an hour to dress myself!"

19:54 "If there's one thing I don't like about this movie I feel like the scenes about max talking about his life go on for way too long" As a person with Aspergers, that's one of the biggest and most recognisable symptoms. Not being able to actually know when the other person is bored and just talking until you run out of things to talk about. That's an absolutely phenomenal thing they've done. Made his condition which impairs his ability to talk to others a bad aspect of the writing as it gets boring.

I am guilty of infodumping and it made max more relateable

as an autistic person myself, i really appreciate the sympathetic and generally positive portrayal this movie gives to max. his outlook on being autistic is very similar to my own, not seeing it as something "bad" or in need of a cure-- it's what makes me who i am, and i just wouldn't be the same person if that changed. only being diagnosed when i was around 20 myself (i'm only 26 now but still) it was vindicating finally knowing WHAT was going on with me and why i do/feel the things i do, knowing how to take care of myself better and understanding why my mind does these things was incredibly refreshing and made me more confident sorry for such a long, rambling comment haha. this is a fantastic film that gets me very emotional, it's dark but it's not hopeless and that's a rare thing to find. not to mention the visual style is so striking and fun to watch!

leaves me in tears every time "best friend" "only friend" coming from an individual with few to no friends, I understood how max was feeling in his last moments. Absolutely beautiful film i haven't had one play with heart strings in a while... it's the best kind of film. one grounded within the bounds of reality.

I would allow my child to have an adult pen pal if i was allowed to read every letter they sent. I think intergenerational friendships and interactions are important but i also recognize the world we live in and if their intentions are pure me reading the letters should be no issue. I liked this movie quite a bit

@ello3800

I agree. If the adult pen pal's intention is pure then there shouldn't be any problem with the parent proofreading the letters. I also think the kid should be taught briefly about what should or shouldn't be written (private info or something like that) and then given some privacy to write the letters. My mom, if she hadn't flipped at the idea already, would have sat down with me and instruct me what to write and would have drained the fun out of the whole penpals thing.

In fact, Dumbo and Snow White were HUGELY successful among ADULT audiences just as much as kids (adult humor not always necessarily meaning bad or inappropriate for kids, but rather things adults would find funny that kids might not if you explained it to them because... well, they're not adults). Later Disney movies kept this up, including Aladdin where the Genie transforms into characters children wouldn't recognize and makes references to things like Shakespeare ("et tu Brute?") that kids wouldn't get--but that were funny for adults. In addition to animation, Walt Disney (toward the end of his life) started moving toward live action films like Treasure Island and such, leaving the animation to others and only overseeing them for content quality. He created Disneyland with the hopes that people could be just kids (even if grown up ones) and became upset when Disneyland became too commercial with hotels and advertisements in the park. So, he tried to make Disney World where he would own all the land around the park so people could totally immerse themselves in the theme park without alcohol advertisements and things like commercial hotels in sight. But, he passed away before the park was complete. He really was a kid inside and out (and even had a large toy train around his house that he would ride, because--why not?). He lived and meant it. We really are just kids grown up.

I'm close with multiple autistic people, and they're all great. One of them I was buddies with for years before she was diagnosed. The fact that some people see it as bad makes me upset.

It’s a dark film, but it hits the tones in all the right places if your suffering from learning difficulties. ...like I grew up with. True story.

As an autistic person I have to say that Max’s Asperger’s syndrome (which I believe is another form of form of autism, and up until 2013 people believed was completely separate from autism) is actually written really well, I can’t say much because every autistic person is different but the most notable things being his anxiety and depression, how he handles stress, struggles with recognising facial expressions, doesn’t do well in relationships, he likes things being organised and the way the narrator is very descriptive with him through numbers, are probably the most accurate things in this film because of how common they are in autistic people. I also like how he doesn’t let his disability get the better of him and claims that he’s chill having Asperger’s syndrome. A lot of neurotypicals stereotype autistic and disabled people to be someone who is rude, who doesn’t talk to people, who won’t do well in society and mopes around all day at home out of depression and anxiety, but this is far from the truth, we’re just as human as everyone else we just happen to see the world from a different angle than neurotypicals. (It does however annoy that Mary tries to find a cure for Asperger’s and autism, because there’s never gone be a cure those things, don’t fight me, there just isn’t, this is something that many autistic people have long accepted and you can see that Max understands this as well, but at least she realised her mistake… even if she tried unalive herself afterwards)

I think that Max's fatness actually adds to his story. Like with his Asperger, it is considered an unacceptable part of himself. It is something that needs to be gotten rid of. At the beginning he's being treated for his Asperger *and* fatness. At the end those are the parts of him that the newspaper notes and mocks him for. Like the birthmark, these are things that set them apart for ridicule, and that they have to accept within themselves.

Autistic people just engage with the world in a slightly different way than neurotypical people do.

"Butts wash out the sea and the fish smoke them" he's a little confused, but he has the right idea

Though I was too young to watch this, I've remembered this movie ever since I first saw it. I was around 8 years old, and I watched it with my sister who's 2 years older than me. Im not exactly sure why, but I was never really affected emotionally while watching movies until after highschool. I remember at the end of the movie I was sad but not exactly upset, but my older sister was bawling. That really stuck with me, and made me think about the movie more, since I looked up to her. I tried looking it up after a while, but couldn't find it and thought it might've been a fever dream or something, but I'm glad it was real and that other people liked it too!

I have'nt seen the movie, just this review. And I still managed to find the scenes of mary's suicide attempt and the ending scene so beutiful and moving. I practically never get TRULY emotional watching movies, let alone yt reviews of movies, but this really managed to touch my heart. Just incredible.

It actually has a quit beautiful message about friendship and human connections and the dark themes of it are used to futher underscore that point, it's not without purpose or for shock value.

I was 15 at the time and there were a lot of us with Asperger's or autism (I personally have ADHD but you know...they overlap) and interest in psychology. As someone who wants to be a psychologist with a specialisation in psychopathology, Max saying that he liked being an aspie made me very happy too. It was nice to see a character not want a cure since that's how they usually portray these kinds of characters and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I understand that some people do want to be "normal" but I also know a lot of people with various conditions and neurotypes who don't want to be "cured." Portraying nearly every character as loathing their existence and desiring a cure not only erases the people who feel okay in their existence and makes them feel bad about themselves, but also sets this weird expectation for completely "normal" people. They can't grasp that I find my existence normal and okay and that I don't want a "cure." They tell me that I should, that it's expected to want one. Even my colourblind grandfather who has never expressed the wish to be able to see colours was shocked when I said that I don't want a cure and tried to convince me that he can cure me, that I can be "normal" and do what others do (what exactly does that mean anyway???).

I ask because after returning to my crime riddle home town I am constantly trying to reevaluate my comfortable view of this world. I feel lied to. Betrayed by my own stupidity and naivety. And protected priveledged isolated life style. I feel confused for how I am supposed to act now in the face of bad moral decisions that I have already begun to commit And I do not know how to simply act and exist in this world. I do not simply feel carefree anymore. I no longer have good goals to aspire to. But bad opportunitys to reap rewards from. In short. Life is tough. Boo hoo. I hate that nobody told me it was this way, the way this movie told it's viewers it. Grow up. Stop crying to strangers online. They don't care .

10:05 and now that hits me on a whole other level of personal, as someone with aspergers. Holy shit does that make me feel something watching this video, not something bad, though I don't know what it is, but holy shit

I fear no man, but that thing 4:52 [Steve moving his eyes] Scares me

I fucking love Mary’s little face in this movie lol and the way she eats crack me up, such a cute and innocent little clay model

I remember watching this movie in high school after being highly recommended to me by a film fanatic classmate. He didn't say anything except it was a story about pen pals. I only watched this once but it is a film that I couldn't forget, especially since it is so relatable even today. It made me cried a lot and I admit, this review made me cry again. Mary and Max had an impact to me. This film, is a reminder to me to appreciate life.

I can relate. My sister's friend pretty much pushed the DVD to our hands and told us to watch it. Well, we did and it stuck with me forever. I was diagnosed with autism years later and remembering Mary & Max still makes me feel good about myself. Warts and all!

I recently found this channel, and holy moly iv cried on every stop motion video so far. They always touch my heart with their deeper meanings.

More props for Toni Colette, Mary’s actress; voice acting AND live acting!

The constant quantifying, taking of things too literally, enjoyment of childish things, inability to recognize emotions or put put emotions into words, and the getting frustrated at the world for thinking Asperger's is something that needs to be cured hits waaaaaaaay to close to home

I used to have these as a kid, but I seem to have grown out of them. Is that even possible?

For someone who is diagnosed with Aspergers. I can relate with Max. I don’t feel disabled. I’ve done well in school. Steady relationship. And doing side art work. It sad that some people like my father sees it as a disease. But it’s ok. We live in a society anyway.

"Done well in school" "steady relationship" Then you are of the small minority doing WAY more fortunate then most, no offense. As someone diagnosed with BOTH aspergers, ADHD, and taurrets, my life was and has been hell for the longest time.

You're really lucky. I have aspergers and dyscalculia, failed 4th grade.

Even in our darkest moments, the beauty of life shines through. Max is a wonderful character.

This has been a favorite movie of mine for years, such a good film. Thank you for reminding me of it and giving it such a wonderful review.

Proof that friendships between adults and children exist without any bad and pedophilia like interaction. (I never knew this comment would become so popular and it's one of my stupid ones I wrote while I was half asleep 😶 I guess I tried to be funny, but the reply section is a big war, sad)

@Sevi Playz I have multiple friendships with people of all different ages. Yes, it somehow runs in my family. Usually I've got KZread (my second fave social media platform besides Facebook), but sometimes, I might write letters to whoever, whether they're young, or old, or even my age.

No it’s not proof, it’s a cartoon. No grown person in their right mind wants to befriend a child just for the sake of being friends. Don’t compare this animation to real life. It’s not impossible, just strange.

Jeez what a negative viewpoint on friendships you don’t have to actively search for a younger/older friend it can be a coincidental Wholesome friendship It’s extremely common for kids who don’t have great role models or any one to look up to in general it doesn’t always have to be viewed as weird or creepy

@@Prince_Dracula If actively seeking ages then yes, big red flag! But friend ships like mutuals on social media can exist without the need of age mentions or any actual real images, not everyone is interested in intimate relationships or needs like that. People can easily bond over hobbies and interests, no matter the age.

Plink like I said before: no grown adult in their right mind wants to befriend a child. They can have the same likes and hobbies but friends is a little weird. Why would you even want to be friends with a grown man or woman if you’re a kid? That’s cartoon logic.people age for different reasons, you should make friends while you’re young and grow old knowing people as friends that are your age. I don’t understand why you think this is normal. They are clearly trying to fuck you! Any grown dude or woman that goes through the effort of trying to be some child’s friends wants something, and that’s your ass. Prove me wrong and go befriend the oldest man you can find and tell me it’s normal. Let me know when you’ve done so and send video proof.

I remember watching this when I was maybe 9-10. I still think about it from time to time. Good film.

I've watched this like 3 times (including right now) and the ending has made me cry every time. Just that cruel timing.
