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?

    Good-looking, cute~ super good-looking, if the first half an hour is still a little flat, the next hour is simply a climax, which makes people dizzying. The overall style is very similar to "My Neighbor Totoro", except that the little loli is replaced by Xiao Zhengtai, and the big fat cat is transformed into a robot. Director Brad Bird has also directed two mobilization series, "The Incredibles" and "Food Story". Actually, my favorite is his short film "The Wishing Pool"~9 points

    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 themselves.

The Iron Giant quotes

  • Atomic Holocaust Narrator: [singing a bomb drill ditty] Time to duck and cover, the bombs are comin' down. The radiation shower will pour throughout your town. Hands over your head; keep low to the ground. Time to duck and cover, the bombs are comin' down. Duck and cover. Duck and cover. Get under the desk with your sister and your brother. Duck and cover. Duck and cover. Hands over your head; keep low to the ground. And all the kids who don't will cease to be around.
