老調重彈的「心靈雞湯」

The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect
You are imperfect and so am I
All humans are imperfect

When I was young I want to be anybody but myself

I would have to accept myself, my warts and all
and we don't get to choose our warts
They are a part of us and we have to live with them
We can, however, choose our friends
and I'm glad I've chosen you

Everybody's life is like a very long sidewalk
Some are well-paved.Others,like mine,
Have crack,banana skins and cigarette butts
Your sideway is like mine but properly not as many cracks
Hopefully one day our sidewalk will meet
and we can share a can of condensed milk

一部類似心靈雞湯的片子，講的是兩個患有不同程度心理疾病（Aspie）的一小一大一澳一美的人的通信友情故事。沒有太大的美學價值，所揭示的道理也是中華老祖宗很早以前就說過的。

台詞很精到，畫面設計兼具精緻和喜感，而且是根據真實故事改編，可信度又增添一層。並不夠DRAMATIC的情節也因為其真實性而讓人驚艷。

不懂為什麼那麼多人喜歡，也許裡面那些老掛在嘴邊的道理很少人能夠做到，也許MARY和MAX的有些行為、心理和自己某些時候有些相似之處。影片唯一讓我欣賞的是用動畫的製作，卻演繹了一個真實，略帶殘忍的故事，色彩不像馬達加斯加、閃電狗、精靈鼠小弟之類絢麗，反倒有點陰鬱，配以很少歡快的音樂，反而讓人小心肝一緊。
