After World War II, the world entered the Cold War period, and the two systems entered a space race. After the Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial satellite, the United States lived in the shadows, fearing a nuclear attack. Federal investigators can best represent the worst state of mind in the United States. They want to find out this steel giant, believe that it is here to attack mankind, and suspect it has something to do with the Soviet Union. They will not hesitate to lie and mislead the military.
Hogarth, who was born in a single-parent family, was stubborn because of his loneliness (the picture of his father as an air force flashed in the play, was he sacrificed because of the Cold War), Hogarth was very afraid of the steel giant at first, because of his kindness, he couldn't bear to look at it. He was entangled and electrocuted by wires and saved it. Later, after getting along with the steel giant, he realized that there was a kind heart in its huge steel appearance. Hogarth not only "educated" it, he also grew up. .
The steel giant is innocent, kind, and naive. When he ate the car at the food court or the scrap iron station, he buzzed his horn, and his bewildered look was very amused. Dean at the Scrap Station is equally kind, speaking for the crazy old man, and taking in the Iron Giant, so he captured the heart of Anne (Hogarth’s mother). The Iron Giant’s only weakness is that it becomes a war machine in self-defense. Without humanity, when I wake up, I regret it, I hope to be the superman in Hogarth's heart, not a weapon to kill.
Federal agents are very afraid of the steel giant because of selfishness and timidity. They don’t give it the opportunity to explain at all. This sentiment has been fueled by the special period of the Cold War. Therefore, Hogarth dared not let the steel giant meet with the public for a long time. Next, I'm going.
In the end, kindness saved everything, the steel giant sacrificed himself to save everyone, Hogarth also gained a complete family and friends.
Postscript: The design of the film is very good, warm and educational, with a higher understanding and respect for life. I personally feel that it would be more perfect if the resurrection of the steel giant is not designed. I guess the director does not want to be so cruel.
