Even if I grow up I still believe in fairy tales

After the rave reviews of "Bridge of Spy" last year, Spielberg collaborated with Disney to shoot a fairy tale for the first time. "Dream of Giants" is adapted from the novelette "The Good Eyed Giants" published by the British children's literature writer Roald Dahl in the year I was born. As a fairy tale lover and Spielberg loyal fan, I won't miss it. If you want me to ask if the movie is good-looking, I will answer you firmly: it is very good-looking! Although the film reviews and reputation of the movie are very general.

A movie based on a classic fairy tale written for children does not have any intriguing plot or thought-provoking truth. The whole story, like many fairy tales we were fascinated by when we were young, has only one simple theme: the weak and the weak need not be afraid of the strong, and goodness can surely defeat evil. But we have grown up, our cognitive level and life experience make us no longer believe in fairy tales, and start to like dark and heavy tastes, and can no longer be interested in simplicity and lightness.

Spielberg, who shot "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan", has seen the glitz of the world and penetrates the complicated human nature of Spielberg. The seventy-year-old Spielberg is willing to be a giant of dreams. Weave dreams for children and help adults awaken innocence. Some people say that "Dream Giant" has a banal atmosphere, but I want to say that when the children laugh and cry in the cinema, the adults are mocking the movie's naivety and boring, only remembering the farting queen and Corgi, who is it? Stale? If old school is trite, then I love it.

Spielberg is a kind-hearted giant. The nine cannibalistic giants in the original work were tied up by the Queen's army with the thickest cable, hung under a helicopter and transported back to England, where they were confined for exhibition. In the movie, the nine villains were only sent to the remote island with a box of seeds from the big-nosed melon, to grow melons and eat melons, and start over. Tolerance and respect are probably Spielberg's greatest kindness towards the world.

When I saw the orphan Sophie being taken home by the kind giant and the two became friends, my seven-year-old friend quietly told me that Sophie finally has a grandfather! Before going to bed at night, my seven-year-old friend asked me, Mom, there is no giant who eats children in this world, right? I answered him, no, it is a fairy tale. Mom will help you close the window and draw the curtains, so you don't have to be afraid. Maybe one day, my little friend will no longer believe in fairy tales, but I hope she can still believe in the truth, goodness and beauty in fairy tales, and can still be moved by the simplest and simple emotions, just like me now.
