, director Steven Spielberg, known as the "Dream Weaver", and "Dream Works" Disney have joined forces to present this fantasy adventure masterpiece "Dream Realization" to movie fans around the world. "Giant", plus Lao Si's ten-year wait in order to realize his "dream of a giant", the royal Hollywood gold production team and the Oscar's best male supporting actor Mark Lyons joined in love, I really look forward to this dream trip for everyone. What a fantastic, magnificent and beautiful audio-visual tour.

The dream itself has a kind of magical power. Those unimaginable, delusional, floating in the clouds, and baseless in real life can all be perfectly integrated in a place called "dreamland". The human mind is like a slideshow, and the human brain is like a projector. Different people will always have different dreams. Find a foothold for those imaginations and expectations in reality, and experience what you hold in your hand. Happiness may be just a dream when you wake up, but the real feeling of intoxication can really numb the nerves, and give yourself an injection of happiness anesthesia. So, no matter it is a kind-hearted giant or a giant who eats human flesh, who would wish himself a nightmare when he said goodnight to himself? Sweet dreams will always make people happy, smiling, and reassuring, and no one will refuse.

The tone of the whole film is slightly dark, and there is always a gloomy feeling of "Grimm's Fairy Tales". The warm light and hope are also faintly transmitted through the depths of the dark forest. The little stars are a kind of cold warmth. In fact, the original fairy tales are bloody, violent and dark, similar to the Chinese "Liao Zhai", using witches, magic, love and sunlight to save the lonely and weak in the dark, giving people hope, just like "Liao Zhai" ” in which he uses strange powers and chaos to delineate the darkness into a monstrous ghost, and then uses the power of immortals to save those kind and helpless people. Therefore, you will see that in the classic fairy tale of "Snow White", there will also be heart-wrenching blood. In this "Dream Realizing Giant", the giant who eats human flesh is crazy for the delicious child "human beans". The land collectively haunts the darkness.

There is always a feeling that the whole film is a dream of Sophie, a little girl living in an orphanage. In a place where she can't feel the warmth, the dream of a lonely child will be lonely and dark, right? After all, it is a child's dream. There will always be warmth and hope in the dream, and the kind-hearted giant who can help him take care of his dream.

Sophie sat on the shoulders of the kind-hearted giant and watched him blow a sweet dream into a boy's dream. It was a boy's happiest dream. He chatted with the president on the phone, and he usually called himself a brat. The father and mother scratched their ears and cheeks with no clue of the situation, watching the boy and the president chatting happily, confused, so proud, so happy. And Sophie's dream is to bring her dream-fulfilling giant to discuss the rescue plan with Her Royal Highness in order to save the children of the whole country, as well as the grand reception banquet held by the Queen for her and her BFG (Big Friendly Giant). Live happily under the care of Her Royal Highness. This should be the happiest and sweetest dream of a lonely child with a miserable life.

What impressed me the most was the scene where the kind-hearted giant took Sophie to catch a dream. It turned out that deep in the dark forest, under the calm water surface like a mirror, was the upside-down dream of that dream. Walking in, the stars were like fireflies. The colorful shimmer that flickers like fire is the color and composition of that beautiful dream. Holding a dream catcher, reaching out to catch the dream that jumps like a firefly, putting this most beautiful moment into a transparent crystal bottle, and from now on. These will be the elements of a kind girl's dream. There will be no darkness, loneliness, and coldness, but only magic, companionship, and warmth. Those bad giants, the best way to deal with them is to deprive them of the right to enjoy beautiful dreams. From now on, I am the great dream maker. Your dreams are dominated by me. In order to punish your unkindness, I will Blow a terrifying nightmare to sleep with you.

Of course, the film ended with a happy ending. The good-hearted giants got the peace they wanted, the island of giants regained warmth, fragrance and harmony, and the bad-hearted giants were sent to the isolated island. Food, kind and brave Sophie also lived by the Queen's side and lived a happy life. I still hope that this is the final ending. I always worry that this is just a rare happy dream that Sophie had on many sleepless nights. So is it that the more beautiful the dream, the more lonely and disappointed it will be when she wakes up at the end? If this is just a dream, I sincerely hope that this is a dream that will never wake up, at least in the dream Sophie will always be happy.
