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 animation short work at the age of 13. This work was appreciated by the Disney studio, which made him famous by Disney's legendary animation master Milt. Carl accepted as an apprentice, and since then devoted himself to the animation industry. That is to say, at an age when everyone does not understand cartoons very well, people can make cartoons by themselves.
Alright, back to The Iron Giant. Although it is not very famous, it has won 9 awards of the authoritative "Annie Award" of the American Animation Awards, including the Best Animation of the Year Award and the Best Director Award. Killed four other excellent works: "A Bug's Life", "The Prince of Egypt", "South Park" and "Tarzan". The film tells the story of a young boy and a giant of steel. The iron giant fell to the earth from outer space, it met the little boy Hoggart, and the two became friends since then. However, the appearance of the Iron Giant made the town gossip. Some people said that aliens were attacking, some people said that the Soviet Union's secret weapon, Rockwell's peace was broken. The government sent commissioner Mansri. He was a very narrow and maddened man. Hoggart will do anything to find and destroy the Iron Giant. In the end it succeeded in deceiving the army. But the iron giants also had high-strength weapons, so the two sides fought fiercely. In the end, Hoggart allowed the Iron Giant to regain his humanity, while Mansley ordered the launch of missiles desperately. This not only destroys the iron giant but also endangers the safety of everyone. The Iron Giant repaired this fatally wrong order, choosing to sacrifice himself to intercept the missile. The townspeople witnessed the great humanity of this robot, and for Hoggart, it was definitely the most precious friendship in his young age. Although the Iron Giant died, he still looks forward to miracles in his life every day.
The Iron Giant is a bit like a Transformer in shape and performance, and is also a giant robot. But it doesn't have the intelligence of Transformers and it didn't come to Earth with war and killing. Exactly which planet the Iron Giant came from is not explained in the film, but it doesn't matter. What matters is the story it brings us. The iron giant is like a child, its thinking is very simple, as the little boy in the film said, it is just a child. This film is about a sincere friendship between a child and a mighty giant. There are exciting adventures, carefree playfulness, loneliness that is not understood, courageous persistence in the face of doubt, thinking about people and technology, and criticism of society and politics. The most important thing is movies The touching friendship between China Railway Giants and children. This is the key to making it enduring and moving audiences of different ages and languages.
Society complicates people, and adults tend to have too many things to think about. When dealing with a matter, they will think of danger first, and always want to control everything in their own hands. Children are different. They don't have too many interests. They are innocent and simple, and they often don't consider gains and losses when it comes to friendship. And adding this innocence to the 50-foot-tall Iron Giant is the highlight of the film. The friendship between a giant steel man with a childlike innocence and a little human boy has been tested by twists and turns, dangers and interests. When the Iron Giant first came to Earth, people thought it was a very dangerous thing. Hogart was also full of fear when he first encountered the giant, but when he saw it was electrocuted, he didn't know where the courage came from to pull the switch to save it. Maybe it's just that the child's heart can't bear to see another life hurt. And when the iron giant lost his mind and turned into a powerful weapon, only Hoggart dared to rush to it to awaken its good side. The iron giant also remembered his friendship with the little boy at this critical moment, thus avoiding a war that should never have happened. In fact, it just wanted to avenge Hoggart. It can be said that their friendship quelled the war.
They are all finding and holding on to their souls.
