There is so much meaning embedded into every single scene, it’s unbelievable. You must’ve missed most of it. (Super-quick summary of just a few things: there’s the hero journey plot structure (hero prepared for journey, then journeys, learns lesson, returns home, and applies it to homeland; see ancient myths for plenty of examples. Also, there’s lots and lots of parallelism. Everything in the monster world represents some idea or thing from the real world.)

I could honestly buy this movie and see it several times before it would begin to be boring. :)

My kids aren’t familiar with the book either (yes I know, bad mom) so maybe I’ll get them into that first and then take them to the dollar theater. :)
