Maybe some long-cherished wishes need to be fulfilled in a dream.

The movie " The Dreaming Giant " is a story about a long-lived good-hearted giant dreaming and an orphan Sophie, who fulfilled each other's hearts.

Spielberg made a movie "Artificial Intelligence" many years ago, a little robot boy who can never become a human, and can't get the real love of his mother. In that movie, I saw the extreme loneliness that Spielberg can present. This time, I reunited with this loneliness after a long absence.

In the vast sea of ​​people, lonely people can feel the breath of the same kind from a distance. Because the smell is similar, it is destined to meet. This lonely old man, dressed in a black cloak, shuttled through the world at night, walking all over the streets and alleys like a ghost.

When the good-hearted giant found those lonely children in this world, he found company. Later he found Sophie. He can hear the voices of ants, he can hear the tiniest movement in his heart, that's why he can dream. Blow those golden dreams, or terrifying nightmares, into the heads of adults and children.

In the past, he found a little boy and brought it back to the Giant Island. The meat-eating giants had big arms and round waists, and the little dream-fulfilling giant, who was only 7 meters 3 in eating a big nose melon, was like a weak chicken. Meat-eating groups and vegetarians are doomed to be incompatible. Soon the boy was eaten by the flesh-eating giant. The kind-hearted giant who has been bullied by the flesh-eating giants cannot protect his beloved little friends. The death of the little boy was his eternal nightmare, and the sadness and regret in his heart could not be dissipated for a long time. Until he stood up to save Sophie, he gained courage and was reborn.

When the other bad giants found Sophie and tried to eat her, the good-hearted giant didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. The misfortune of his last companion, the little boy, would not have been eaten if he had sent the boy back to safety. He wanted to send Sophie back to the orphanage, but loneliness was far more terrifying than death, and Sophie could no longer be separated from the kind-hearted giant. So the young Sophie still chose to follow the giant, and would rather risk her life to accompany the giant and accompany each other.

Sophie came up with an idea to ask the kind-hearted giant to dream of the Queen of England, seeking her trust and help. Before dispatching the army, the queen hosted a banquet for the dream-fulfilling giant and Sophie. Sophie also grew up when Sophie instructed how giants should bow, how to drink coffee and hold cups, and how to say words correctly. During the banquet, the giant ate the non-human flesh food that was a thousand times better than the big nose melon, and tasted the "suffering" coffee, and told the Queen of England, the generals who were about to help him lead the army, and the queen's three. A corgi saluted home-made green "bouncing water" bubbling down. This is also the most relaxed, harmonious and funny part of the whole film.

In the end, the Queen's army transferred all these carnivorous giants who were afraid of water to an isolated island surrounded by the sea, and physically isolated them, leaving them only a box of smelly and unpalatable big-nosed melon seeds. (It may be shown to children, the battle is won without a fight, which is why I underestimated one star. Whether it is ugly or not, this is part of the giant that realizes the dream . Even if you educate children, it is not necessary to show them only. On the side of the fairy tale, too much protection, deletion and omission, but lost the beauty of the film).

At the end of the film, the kind-hearted giant and Sophie can no longer live together, just like adults and children always have their own worlds. Fortunately, although confidants say goodbye, friendship will last forever. The kind-hearted giant of dream fulfillment no longer has to be bullied by those stupid big giants with low IQ and EQ. Sophie has also become the princess of the British royal family. , the dream giant will miss her too.

It turned out that everything was a dream of Princess Sophie, a beautiful dream that came from the inner desire of the princess, The End.

Tip: There is one point in the whole movie that I don't quite understand. Although Sophie in the orphanage is lonely, there is a cute orange cat who sticks to Sophie's side no matter what time it is at night. Such a loyal cat? Can't you see? Not even a single focused look was given, let alone a touch. I once thought that she and the cat would be the point of the whole play together. I also took several pictures, but after the giant sent her back, the cat not only was not afraid of the giant or frizzy, but still comforted and accompanied Sophie, which made me Thinking of my cat and loving this little cutie can't stop, and also feel sorry for her hot face and cold ass. In fact, the lack of this cat in this show doesn't affect the plot at all, right? Why not let it get the rewards and warmth it deserves. I don't understand and feel madly distressed.
