Mary and max full movie tv#
Max ends up winning the lottery a short time later, and uses his money to complete two of his three life goals – 1) buying a lifetime supply of chocolate and 2) buying every figurine of the characters from the TV show he and Mary like. She had saved money to visit Max by delivering fliers throughout town, but spends it on plastic surgery to remove her birthmark, though the birthmark’s removal does not make her any more popular. He spurns Mary and refuses to write to her after his hospitalization, causing her self-esteem to evaporate. Max has never been able to understand love or sex due to his mental illness, and has such a severe anxiety attack that he is hospitalized and subjected to electro-therapy. Things go well until Mary falls for her next-door-neighbor, Damien (voiced by Eric Bana) and sends Max a letter filled with questions about sex and love. Though each letter Mary sends to Max gives him day-long anxiety attacks, and Max’s letters contain inappropriate subjects for a young girl (such as things about condoms, mental illness, or prostitutes), the two bond over their social awkwardness, love for chocolate, and adoration of a particular children’s TV show. Like Mary, Max lives a largely solitary life with only an elderly woman as a friend. She ends up writing to an older, obese, Jewish man named Max Jerry Horrovitz (voiced by Philip Seymour Hoffman) with a slight mental disability (later dicovered to be asperger syndrome. After being told by her grandfather that babies are born at the bottom of a beer can, she decides to choose a random American out of a phone book and write to them to ask where US babies come from. She also has a poop-colored birthmark on her forehead and her only friend is an elderly man with agoraphobia. Her dad is an absent-minded factory worker and her mother is a stay-at-home drunk. Mary Daisy Dinkle (voiced by Toni Collette) is a very young Australian girl with a rough life. The film is narrated by Barry Humphries, aka Dame Edna (though not in his alter ego’s voice) and takes place in the 1970s. We can hear Max’s voice telling Mary that she was his best and only friend. She sits next to his lifeless body, and is happy to discover he saved all her letters and other mementos from their years of correspondence, and had died gazing at her writings. Mary overcomes her depression finally visits Max in New York City, with her newborn son in tow, only to discover that he had died peacefully early that morning.
