The cute Giant

You stay, I go, no following.

When Giant said this, Hogarth ran his fingers sadly, tears finally fell, those big yellow eyes could talk, he was happy that he could finally become Superman , to save the lives of the whole town, he has a soul. In the end the screws were bouncing around looking for the remaining parts, leading us to believe that Giant will be back. Is this the perfect ending? Do we have enough steel to feed Giant? Hogarth will grow old but Giant won't. It's another cruelty to let Giant watch the generations of the Hogarth family forever. Huh, far away. It is not an exaggeration to call this film an animated version of ET, even surpassing ET. Those big yellow eyes showed Giant's emotions completely, his childlikeness, his sadness, his doubts, his perseverance.... And Hogarth is not a hero who saves the world, he is just an ordinary little boy next door. He will let Giant play games with him to satisfy his desire to become a hero. It is this truth that is even more touching. I don't want to say that human beings always show stupidity in self-defense in the face of aliens. Why should such a rare and excellent animation be deconstructed? As long as children and adults can watch it, they will feel warm in their hearts, right? Is it enough. It's a pity that I discovered this film so late, but it's not too late to see it, isn't it?
