In today's film industry, Spielberg is perhaps the most childlike director. The director is the role of a dream maker, which is very obvious in the 70-year-old director Si. With his status, he can choose commercial blockbusters to direct at will, but this time he brought the not-so-commercial "Dream Realizing Giant". The name of the movie was originally called "Dream Blowing Giant", just like his master said himself - a movie giant who blew the dream constructed by the movie into the audience's mind.

The logo of Spielberg's studio, Amblin, once again appears at the beginning of his film. The silhouette of the teenager riding a bicycle to the moon comes from his representative work "ET". Si Dao has used this logo, which is extremely children's dream, to this day, and it is not difficult for people to understand his passion for the theme of innocence.

In fact, after thinking about it, "Dream Realizing Giant" may also be regarded as Director Si's revisiting childhood dreams. This film has many similarities with "ET" 34 years ago in terms of work temperament, story structure, character setting, etc. place.

However, time is not forgiving. In recent years, Si Dao has shown an old-fashioned state. His films are more and more like the spliced ​​works of a skilled old craftsman, lacking fresh ideas and moving power. The Big Dream is no exception, and what's impressive about this movie is more of the filmmaking technique and some bad taste from the original - the group farting at the Queen's Banquet that made the child audience laugh. From other aspects, "Dream Realizing Giant" seems too bland and unpredictable, and it is also a mediocre work in Si Dao's works in recent years. So it's not difficult to understand that the film received a mediocre response in both North America and China.

Even so, the film directed by Stephen has not been reduced to the point of "bad film". "The Giant of Dreaming" may be more suitable as his own willful work, trying to add a belief in innocence to the troubled world.

However, Si Dao's innocence was given a lot of commercial meaning by his first publicity in China. This time, he caught up with Jack Ma, and with Alibaba, a tycoon who doesn't worry about money, Anbelin became a shareholder, so he could explore the Chinese market more deeply. Ali can also use the resources of the director to further go to the Hollywood Nuggets.

Perhaps, Spielberg is such a complex person, he is very innocent, he is also super shrewd.

Oh, and there's 84-year-old soundtrack master John Williams in the film. Williams and Spielberg should be the most enduring movie duo on the planet. The cooperation between the two can be traced back to 1974. The first film directed by Stephen was to find the soundtrack of Williams. Later, through the classic films such as "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", and "Schindler's List", William became the first film director. Muss's soundtrack has become a standard feature of Smith's films.

For movie fans, the works of these two master filmmakers can be said to be watched and cherished. Therefore, Lao Si's waywardness this time may be tolerated by his fans once.
