Similarities Between Mary And Max
Our Imperfect World
“You are imperfect. And so am I. All humans are imperfect.”
Elliot’s animation style in the film Mary and Max reflects how imperfect life and people can be. All the objects and characters in the film are a bit off-center, squished and disfigured. I do not believe this film could be made as a ‘live action’ film as it would lose its quirkiness and uniqueness.
“Jurors are outstanding members of the community who haven’t murdered anyone.”

“This of course is a lie, I do not like lies, but in this case I think it will be of benefit. I wish I could be in charge of all the chocolate, but of course I cannot, because of my
