      S

      A piece of UFO landed on the earth from space and was discovered by an old sailor of a lost ship. The eyes of this huge robot were as bright as a lighthouse. The old sailor was too frightened. When he saw the real lighthouse, was he dazzled? Hogarth is a boy who likes to adopt small animals, but his animals always cause great trouble to the family. This time, the little squirrel made a mess of his mother's cafe. Rumor has it that Hogarth also met Dean. At night, Hogarth watched horror movies...

      Iron Giant's Childhood

      First of all, I would like to recommend this film to everyone, the first animated feature film directed by Brad Bird - "Iron Giant". In fact, this film is not very famous. I went to see it because of the fame of director Bird.
      Well, when it comes to Brad Bird, I can't help but say a few more words. Let me give you a brief introduction. He is the director of The Incredibles and Ratatouille. His greatness is not only that: he started to draw animation at the age of 11, and completed his own...

      What we advocate for children

      I only watched this cartoon when I was in college, and after watching it, I kept thinking "No, no." - There is a problem with the logic of the final climax. Why not use weapons against weapons to make the atomic bomb explode in outer space? Do we love action more than brains?

      We should not be advocating to think of risking ourselves when encountering an accident. This is a video for children. We should advocate using our brains, less devotion that is of little value, and...

      endearing cunning ending

      Not too important details mistakenly deducted one star, super fan added one star, for a movie for children, I gave it five stars. If it is for adults today, it will probably be minus one star. After all, this is a movie that belongs to the last century, and it follows the rhythm of the last century.

      Besides the "unworthy of Kent's name" agent and the "Action Comics" and "S" logos that appear on the surface, there are many ideas that Superman stories will convey in the film, such as,...

      We have a robot in our hearts

      I saw the introduction of this movie 10 years ago, and 10 years later, I really saw the end from the beginning, and my eyes were full of tears. When I saw the relationship between the robot and the little boy being portrayed so delicately, I knew that this must be a movie. Tragedy, but all of this is overturned when the last scene comes out, the robot is not dead, he is still alive, although there are foreshadowings before, you can guess. There are not many lines in the robot, but every...

      The plot is actually very ET, but this film is better than the thoroughly overrated, very juvenile-oriented stuff like ET. The paranoid is more paranoid, the ironic is more ironic, and it has the effect of "Dr. Strangelove". Action scenes are also easier to show in animation. The scene of the child's bicycle rush in ET is obviously not of the same level as the entire army in this...

      It's a very pure and touching movie... I have a lot of respect for the director brad bird. I love watching the film Ratatouille: The Incredibles and the Iron Giant... The two-dimensional effect is actually very good, and the three-dimensional steel feels fantastic. The villain in it reminds me of all people who are full of fear of the alien and the unknown—in fact, all people, always using some excuses to destroy things that they can’t understand, and often destroy...

      A little boy and a giant robot from aliens. In fact, it is the Iron Gorilla version of King Kong. The plot of the character screen is simple and the feelings are very clean. At that time, the iron gorilla sacrificed himself to take the lead, and scolded almost all the swear words that came to his mind, and felt the anger and sadness after watching King Kong. In fact, it is a little disgusting to see the name of Peter Jackson now. Fortunately, the ending Saved everything and made the whole film...

    Movie plot

    In October 1957, in the small town of Rockwell, Maine, single mother Anne Hughes ran a small restaurant alone and raised her nine-year-old son Hogarth. Hogarth’s willful and fantasy-loving character always tries to find mutant aliens or alien invaders, so when a local fisherman came to the tavern and described seeing a huge iron man falling into the sea, only Hogarth paid much attention. His words, and ready to explore to find this big...

    Evaluation action

    "Steel Giant" is an excellent animation work reflecting on the war in the context of the Cold War. In this kind of work, large, expressionless machines like the Iron Giant are generally used as the mount or secret weapon of the evil leader, but in this animation, this character has become more complicated than ever. The film’s accusation of war and the metaphor of nuclear bombs, an uncontrollable weapon of lethality, are very obvious,...
