For American movies, we can often name a bunch of familiar directors, but for cartoon directors, we are not very familiar with them. Disney, DreamWorks, and Pixar are often more familiar with these cartoon distribution companies. So, when it comes to Brad Bird, we are probably not familiar with who this is. But when it comes to "The Incredibles" and "Ratuitouille", we immediately shine, and before these two joyous animations, his A "Steel Giant" that is not well known by too many people has moved me more deeply.
The story of American animation is generally not too complicated. The same is true for "Steel Giant". A robot that didn't know from Monkey Star Polo, that is, a steel giant, fell to the earth. A boy met the steel giant. After the initial fear and trial, They established a sincere friendship. At the same time, a bad kind of government was investigating the whereabouts of the robots, and finally found the robots and the children. Of course, there was a lot of toss afterwards. The story is not new, but the details, emotions, themes, and the imperfect but pure ending of the film are easy to choke and even tears.
The boy in the film has no father’s love for a long time, so fantasy, carefree, and the steel giant falling from the sky is like the steel version of ET, the enhanced version of the Terminator, bringing the boy’s missing father’s love and giving him a different kind of care and care. emotion. The background of the story is the Cold War period, so an unknown object that fell from the sky triggered the alert of the US government and the suspicion of the people. Correspondingly, after the boy was initially afraid of him, he quickly relied on instinct to lift the steel giant from height. Saved from the piezoelectric, and then interacted with it with curiosity. Our fears often come from ourselves, from acquired education. When we were children, we explored, imitated, and learned with curiosity until we gradually learned so many things and discovered that there are so many things in the world. There are many threats worthy of fear, ranging from theft, robbery, murder, war, and nuclear bombs, to unemployment, inflation, and stock market crashes, to broken relationships and failing exams. When we were children, we were carefree and did not know the horror of war. We were still playing war games with water guns. We faced a huge steel giant. A boy went from initial fear to curiosity, and then to fight with a steel giant. Forging friendship, this is indeed not something that the very deep people in the city can do.
I once commented on a movie describing the friendship between children, "The world of children, adults will never understand", the friendship between boys and the steel giant is actually the friendship of children, the purity of the soul has nothing to do with the material and size of the body, the steel giant When I first arrived on Earth, I was just like a baby who had just come to the world, ignorant and ignorant. Fortunately, how lucky, he first ran into a child, not some adult assholes with bad stomachs, otherwise, judging from the offensive power he showed in his anger later in the film, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, the boy taught him kindness and tolerance, making this big iron knot more human, and he understood what kind of person he can choose to become. In the end, he chose to be a "superman" and bravely rushed to the nuclear bomb flying to the small town, using himself. The sacrifice shows that he has become a person, what a pure person. What a cool thing for a child to have a brother like a steel giant, he will not lose his temper at him, he can understand the child’s mood, and he can take him to the sky tirelessly, Let the laughter of pure friendship spill over the earth. In contrast, the mouthful of conspiracy theories nurtured in the environment of Fucking Politics, the bad kinds of national interests, for personal gain, unscrupulously, when the government commissioner in the film frantically forgets his deep side of the steel giant, he issued a launch At the time of the nuclear bomb order, we also saw that there are always people in the world destroying innocence, destroying goodness, and destroying themselves in the name of noble.
The steel giant finally rescued the people in a small town by destroying his own body, including the bad guys who tried to destroy him. His sacrifice and his destruction are a kind of construction, a kind of construction in the tense Cold War environment. Rebuilding of trust and care between people. It was against this background that he said goodbye to the child in a low voice, he bravely rushed towards the nuclear bomb, and I was choked at that scene. At that moment, I felt that this steel giant was a real person! Fortunately, after the sadness, the film has a gratifying ending. The broken steel giant fragments, inspired by his brain signals, slowly rush to Iceland, where they will regroup, and the steel giant will be reborn. He represents The power of human nature will be reborn. It is a force full of resilience and will not be easily destroyed. Thank you Brad Bird for bringing me pure touch with a pure story. The steel giant is like all the people in history who have been tested by years and are called "giants". The greatness is not the body, but is full of inspiring power. mental strength!
