"Iron Giant" is based on the fairy tale book "Iron Giant" by British poet and writer Laureate Ted Hughes. This book is highly valued by the British theater industry, and Warner bought the copyright, intending to make it into a film, and invited the animation prodigy Brad Bird to participate in the project. As the director of the film, Brad was deeply attracted by the original work, but he had a different view of Warner's original filming plan. He believes that the play must completely escape the Disney cartoon formula, not focusing on music and singing, but focusing on its story and character development, to create a movie that children will be moved by their hearts and adults will be moved. During the film's release in the United States, the solid story and vivid characters won praise from audiences and critics. The delicate friendship between the iron giant and the child, the full of excitement and adventure, deeply touched everyone.

    Looking back on a good movie that I missed 20 years ago on the big screen, Director Bird seems to be old friends with the King of Sunglasses. The film pays tribute, even the man who takes care of the male protagonist is also the owner of the restaurant...

    I like the sincere friendship between the steel giant and Hogarth! → Some Cecrets are too huge to hide. → Seeing "Steel Giant" when watching "Ready Player One" in the movie theater is more surprising to me than the "The Shining" passage! →"Iron Giant" is adapted from the fairy tale book "Iron Giant" by British poet and writer Laureate Ted Hughes. Warner invited Brad Bird to write and direct the film. → My nephew watched it twice, and laughed at the scene of the steel giant diving. -2018.07.19

The Iron Giant quotes

  • General Rogard: You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway Toilets by the time I'm through with you!

  • Hogarth Hughes: I know you feel bad about the deer, but it's not your fault. Things die. That's part of life. It's bad to kill, but it's not bad to die.

    The Iron Giant: You die?

    Hogarth Hughes: Well, yes, someday.

    The Iron Giant: I die?

    Hogarth Hughes: I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, and you think about things, and that means you have a soul. And souls don't die.

    The Iron Giant: Soul?

    Hogarth Hughes: Mom says it's something inside of all good things, and that it goes on forever and ever.

    [Hogarth leaves. The Iron Giant lays back to look at the stars]

    The Iron Giant: Souls don't die.
