Ironhide's warmth

If I said, I cried again when I watched the disc early this morning, don't laugh at me, when everyone is vulnerable, they are easily moved by the light and shadow messages received in their eyes. You are no exception, right.

Well, let me continue to tell you that I was crying when I watched the cartoon early this morning, you still don’t laugh at me, everyone knows that not every animation will be like "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck" Amuse the children like that. So, I think, I should be able to shed some tears with confidence. Although, only a short moment.

At one o'clock in the morning, I still suffer from insomnia, and the pain of my back prevents me from talking nonsense or playing games to the computer, so let's watch the movie. Choosing this "Iron Giant" was purely accidental, because the day before, I watched a road movie, a suspense movie, and a porn movie. So I thought my brain needed some fresh air, so when this disc jumped into my eyes, I thought it was it.

Actually, it’s been hidden on my shelf for a long time, but every time my hand passes by, I always ignore it gently, because a huge robot on the cover makes me think this is a sci-fi action movie. I didn't buy the dish.

When the red eyes of the DVD player lit up, my snack was taken aback, and Ding Ding Dong Dong music appeared in front of me with cartoon images. In this way, I fell into an animation trap and had to pay for it. The price of tears.

Let us start by asking a few questions. I want to ask you, did you like toys when you were a kid? Is it a robot or a rag doll? If you are not a shy little boy, would you be like me, hoping to have a robot that listens to your own words. Although, I am a girl.

If your answer is yes, let us continue. If you own a 50-foot-tall robot, will you be scared or excited? I want to talk about myself. If I had such a behemoth now, I would be trembling, fearing that I would be injured because I couldn't control it. And if it were 15 years ago, I would have gone crazy with joy, and all I could think of was just playing a game with it happily.

Is this the difference between adults and children? I think.

Huo Jia is such a lovely child. He accidentally saved the iron giant from space who was entangled in the wire. Became friends with him. They don't understand the language, but they can communicate with their hearts. Suddenly, I remembered "ET", the innocent feelings between the alien and the little boy. Perhaps only children can come into contact with other lives without utilitarian purposes. Huo Jia said to the Iron Giant, "You stay and I will go home, but the Giant always followed him closely and refused to leave." Seeing the little boy's frustrated and helpless expression, I smiled slightly. The iron giant is like a ignorant child, can you bear to blame him?

I like him, really, I like this big iron man, watching him face the bent rails meticulously, watching his pitiful appearance with a hungry stomach without iron, watching him lightly with his huge fingers The sorrow of touching the deer killed by the hunter, the silly air of watching him almost eat Dean’s scrap art, the naive attitude of watching him learn how to dive but turn the entire pond into the sky. , Watching him put a sign on his chest to be a Superman seriously, I really really like him.

How about you? Are you also in love with such a huge iron man?

Just as there are always people who want to capture E·T for research, there will also be people who stare at the Iron Giant. Kent, an investigator from the government, wanted to find out the secret of the iron giant. He claimed to protect the country's security and protect people's lives, but when the iron giant took Huo Jia away, he lied to the army that Huo Jia was killed by the giant, and let the army open fire on the giant regardless of the boy's safety. This is the performance of his slogan, but behind it is the glorious dream of being promoted and rich. Such an adult world, really TMD shit!

Then, and then I got to the place where I should be sad, although you might think this is too sensational. But it’s not my fault. You said that when the hateful Kent, regardless of the lives and deaths of the residents of the small town, forcibly ordered the launch of an atomic bomb to destroy the iron giant, when all people panicked as if it was the end of the world, our iron The giant said to Huo Jia what he had said to the iron giant, "You stay and I will go." He just soared into the sky, flying towards the atomic bomb with terrifying power, like a superman. Can I not cry? He said, I am not a gun, I am a good person.

It's that simple, I cried. Perhaps it was because the nerves that had been numbed by the dull running-in for a long time felt a new call again, and recalled the sensitivity of the past in the daily cumbersome deposits, so I cried for the iron giant who never returned. I said, how could he die.
You say, I was wrong, or the world is wrong.

It turns out that under the cold iron skin, there is also a pulse of warmth.
At the end, Huo Jia watched the only screw left by the iron giant jumping away. He must have thought that it was the iron giant's brain calling them somewhere to be reborn.

I believe this is the case, because I saw the iron giant's body fragments running on the vast snowy field of Iceland. Fortunately, there is such a bright ending. Make me laugh.

  • General Rogard: That missile is targeted to the giant's current position! WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY?

    Kent Mansley: [notices the giant is standing just a few feet away. It glares at him] Oooh... We can duck and cover! There's a fallout shelter not far from...

    General Rogard: There's no way to survive this thing, you idiot!

    Kent Mansley: You mean we're all going to...

    General Rogard: To die, Mansley. For our country.

    Kent Mansley: Screw our country! I WANT TO LIVE!

    [he jumps into a jeep and attempts to drive away, but the giant stops him by slamming his hand down like a roadblock. As Mansley recovers from the crash, some of the soldiers train their rifles on him]

    General Rogard: Hold him, men! Make sure he stays here... like a good soldier...

  • Marv Loach: United States Government, eh? That must mean something big is happening here.

    Kent Mansley: No, Marv. Big things happen in big places, and the sooner I file my report, the sooner I can get back to them.
