Is it a child's dream or an adult's dream?

It's over. I've been going to the cinema recently, and I've always been very sleepy, although this time I just yawned and didn't fall asleep.
This is a world where children dream adults' dreams, and adults dream children's dreams.
The little boy dreams of the president calling him. His father, who is usually in a dominant position at home, nods and bows to the president, but he chats with the president jokingly, and the president also trusts him very much. This is like an unlucky adult, always dreaming that one day, a person at the peak of power suddenly favors him, and the people around him who are usually arrogant to him can only be stunned, and he will have to look at himself in the future. It's a child's dream, more like an adult's dream. And the little girl's dream is to live in the queen's palace, to be taken care of, not to be disciplined, and not to abide by the messy rules (can it be nonsense?).
In the film, the adults, who blow dreams of giants, captured the little girl because she was worried that the little girl would tell the secret that she had seen herself, and that human beings would one day find the kingdom of giants and put the giants in cages for exhibition. The dream-blowing giant, who can't trust children, will lead a group of humans to attack the country where his own race is located, and throw his own kind on an isolated island. You can't trust a child, but you can trust a group of people. In real life, if he did this, his race might be extinct in an instant, or he might be sent to some research institute and become a research object, not to mention that they have a lifespan similar to that of the earth. The attraction to humans is how huge. As for the human beings in the film, when the giant stepped into the queen's palace, they put down their weapons so easily, and had no defense against an alien who didn't know anything about them, who could blow their dreams into their minds. . This is not just a child's dream, it is even more naive than a child.
Also, I don't quite understand the motive of blowing dreams of giants and throwing the rest of the giants on the island. Just like I can't understand the fact that vegetarians want to unite with foreigners to throw carnivores on a deserted island and keep them vegetarian for life. We are different, you do not agree with my value, but you should not exclude me because of this, you must isolate me. How is this different from fascism? BTW, in the film, the Dreaming Giant is the shortest among the giants because he has always been a vegetarian. It can be seen that eating meat may really be necessary for a balanced diet for the giants.
In short, this is an adult dream film made under the slogan of a children's film and with the logic of a child. Negative Ratings!
