"The Giant of Dreams": Spielberg's Self-Tribute.

Probably to cater to Wei Guangzheng's Chinese dream. The "Dream Blowing Giant" originally circulated on the Internet was changed to "Dream Realizing Giant" by a certain bureau in the Celestial Dynasty. This actually makes sense. How can "dream" be blown? To be round! (Hehe twice)

For Spielberg, who is already 70 years old, it is difficult to make fun of the films he shoots even if they are of a low standard. As a great director who made Xingye Gaoshan look up at the "God of Cookery" and did not hesitate to change his name to "Stephen Zhou", this year brought his latest film "Dream Realizing Giant".
The film is based on the famous children's book "The Good-Eye Giant" by the Norwegian-British writer Roald Dahl. Another famous film adaptation of the writer is Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" starring Captain Jack.
"Dream of Giants" tells a story: Somewhere in England, there lived ten giants who didn't know their age. The nine giants like to eat meat, especially the "human beans". But there is a kind-hearted giant who is the shortest among the giants and chooses a vegetarian diet. The good-hearted eye cannot agree with the cruelty of the carnivorous giant. He chooses to live by eating the bitter gourd he grows, and every midnight he collects sweet dreams one by one and puts them in bottles. At midnight, he will come to the place where people live to blow sweet dreams into adults and children. In dreamland, he also made atonement for the other giants.

At midnight when she came to the city, Sophie, a quirky and lonely little girl in an orphanage, found a kind-hearted giant. In order to prevent the giants from being discovered, the kind-hearted took Sophie to her residence.

The carnivorous giants discovered the taste of human beans, Sophie decided to drive these carnivorous giants away from people's homes with kind eyes...
Does it feel childish? At least I was on pins and needles in the cinema. The uncle next door left after watching half of it. There were no more than five people seated in the huge giant screen hall. The whole movie was the Queen of England's hospitality, which made me keep my eyes on the screen.

It is rare that the 70-year-old Spielberg still has such a childlike innocence, spending 140 million US dollars to create such a childish film. I can't help but think of Rob Reiner, who was sixty-three years old when he was filming that sweet and sweet first love movie "Heartbeat". That alone is enough to pay tribute.
I don't like this movie very much, maybe it's because I have little childlike innocence and have had the time to cheer for innocence. Perhaps in order to take care of younger audiences, the Royal Air Force battle with the meat-eating giants, which was the most interesting in the movie, ended like a child's play. The rest are suitable for ordinary moviegoers to watch, only the finely crafted motion capture and CG special effects are left, although it is not surprising in this day and age.
At first glance, the good-natured eye on screen appears to be somewhat similar to Spielberg himself, although the motion capture is Mark Lyons. Originally I thought of a title called Spielberg: Lian Po is old, can he still eat? ", and then think about it, is this kind of disrespectful to a person who grew up watching his movies like thunder? After all, Spielberg in those years was the one who blew our dreams...

Spielberg's peak actually remained in the last century. Just look at these movie titles: Jaws, ET Alien, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan… Who hasn't heard and who hasn't seen it? It seems that there is. An article I accidentally read was written by a viewer, who said that he was watching "Dream Giant" and didn't know who the director was, maybe the director Balabala, etc. It is estimated that this friend is still very young and has no experience in watching movies. long. In the new century, Spielberg's influence in the films directed by himself is declining day by day, except for "Artificial Intelligence" in 2001, which still maintains a high level, and "Minority Report" and "War of the Worlds" cooperating with Liangtang are still classics. , the rest of the works are incomparable with the movies of the last century, regardless of word of mouth or box office.

Spielberg's behind-the-scenes promotion of the film industry in recent years is unknown to some ordinary movie fans, such as the film company he founded and the production of some big productions. It is rare that Spielberg still has his own passion for directing. At his age, he is like a Cameron or Jackie Chan movie, watching one less one. For this children's film "Dream of Dreams", which is not very suitable for adults, my more subjective assumption is that Spielberg is like the kind-hearted eye who blows people's dreams into the movie. We were all like that orphanage. Sophie in here, thank those great filmmakers for bringing us so many memories and dreams over the years...
