We are all stupid selves, when will we find our soul?

I'm tired of those Hollywood animation masterpieces, gorgeous animations, there is always an omnipotent superhero, or a clown-like obscure character who is gorgeously reincarnated as a hero, and when appropriate, singing and dancing will become a hero. There are a lot of truths in the film. They are all warm truths, and they are like chicken soup for the soul, out of reach. What does it have to do with me. On the contrary, some small productions, starting from a small angle, are funny, lonely, or ordinary, closer to us, as simple and boring as we are, there is always a little touched. "The Iron Giant" (The Iron Giant 1999) belongs to that kind of mundane storyline. After watching the beginning, guessing the result for a long time, there is no mystery. Iron Man looks very powerful, but he is actually a dumb, simple brain. He doesn't know anything except instinctively eating metal. His thoughts are like a blank sheet of paper, simpler than a baby. Come to the earth society, learn little by little, learn with the little boy Hogarth, and become a friend of the lonely Hogarth. For this friendship, in order to protect the homeland where friends live, Iron Man is willing to dedicate his life.

The ending was unexpected, and naturally connected with the front, Iron Man's parts awakened in every corner, gathered to his "soul", and finally he recovered.

This somewhat humorous ending made the audience laugh knowingly.

The Iron Giant quotes

  • 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.
