      Dreaming Giants: Waiting for the Queen of England

      It is indeed an endless and unrestrained imagination. The story and setting are difficult to justify, and the lines often pretend to be mature and profound. Compared with the superficiality of the content, the beauty of CG and the timeless humor of the film can be considered as supporting the whole film. The children, who were scared to cry when the giant appeared, and the humorous audience laughed a few times, is enough to prove it. Looking at the pink spectacle frame similar to the little...

      In my childhood, I also imagined such a magical and beautiful dream

      I saw that many people in the comments said that it is not good-looking, and only minor children like it. I don't think so. Maybe it is indeed a little naive. The plot is not so ups and downs, and there is not such a big shocking scene, but the story is very warm, The set is very beautiful.

      When the kind-hearted giant took the little girl to the mountain to capture the dream, the scene there really surprised me, it was really beautiful, it seemed like it was too popular, the fireflies...

      Girls and Giants, heart-warming fairy tales, Spielberg movies, of course not to be missed.

      Girls and Giants, heart-warming fairy tales, Spielberg movies, of course not to be missed.
      People always have special feelings for different things: fear...curious...just like the giant in the movie, they are afraid that he will be a man-eating monster, but after getting along, they find that the giant is so friendly and cute. The key point is that this giant can also dream, and he is like a giant version of an angel.
      Then there is a wonderful contrast between the unused worlds. The...

      A good movie but hardly a classic

      The first time I saw this movie was at the beginning of 2017, during the Spring Festival, when my heart was fluctuating, I gave up halfway through it. After watching it again, it was a year later, and this movie is the first movie I watched in the new year. It also counts a debt that has not been completed in 17 years.

      The director of this film is the famous Spielberg, the four major directors of the New Hollywood period, "Saving Private Ryan", "Schindler's List", "Jurassic Park" and...

      giant

      I came home from vacation, turned on the TV, and was looking for a movie to watch, and found this movie. In fact, I didn't have the desire to see the name, but I chose to watch it anyway. The plot is more general and more childlike.

      This movie is about a little girl in an orphanage, Sophie, who fantasizes about monsters appearing at night. She stood in front of the window at night, and she saw a giant. The giant took her to the giant country. The other giants in the giant...

      It's plain and strange, but it's not lost. Compared with "The Giant of Dreaming", I still prefer the translation of the original "Giant of Blowing Dreams": ⒈ This film is the first time in Steven Spielberg's more than 50 years of directing career In cooperation with Disney; ⒉ Giant BFG is 24 feet (7.32 meters) tall, while Gizzardgulper, Bloodbotler, Fleshlumpeater are 39, 43 and 50 feet tall respectively; ⒊ The original author Roald Dahl is 2 meters tall;...

      Not adult or dark fairy tales, but standard fairy tales, which means some parts are straight, others are measured, and the ending is definitely not bad. The prototype is easy to think of Jack and the Beanstalk. If you consider the heroine's suspected Stockholm syndrome performance, you will find that the story is not so pleasant. It cannot be said that girls sometimes act to death, there is always such a protagonist in fairy...

    In the orphanage, a little girl named Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) couldn't sleep all night. She saw a giant as tall as a building walking along the street during the "Witch Haunted Moment". The giant found that Sophie had seen him, so he took her back to the giant kingdom.
    This giant is a kind-hearted giant ( Mark Rylance ) . The kind-hearted giant specializes in collecting good dreams, putting them in glass bottles one by one, and blowing...

    Behind the scenes gags

    John Madden originally planned to direct the film, but later he only retained the identity of the executive producer.
    During the launch of "The BFG" in London theaters, Steven Allan Spielberg produced 32 dream catchers scattered across London's scenic spots and commercial centers, and at the same time coordinated with charity propaganda on different themes.
    The title "BFG" is an acronym for the English word phrase "The Big Friendly...

    Evaluation action

    In addition to showing unparalleled skills, Spielberg also skillfully handles the balance between oil painting-like visual effects and low-key narrative in the film. This is the most unique part of the film. All these factors ensure that "The BFG" is a good film worthy of appreciation. This time Spielberg is obviously focused on carving the strange world he created, rather than ambitiously building an unprecedented movie universe   ....M
