Because I heard you are lonely, so I can meet, because I know you are sad, so I choose to accompany and warm each other.
This film is a typical fairy tale in Spielberg style, adapted from Roald Dahl's world-selling novel "The Good-Eye Giant", the legacy of the famous Hollywood screenwriter Melissa Mathison. It tells the story of Sophie, a girl from an orphanage, who meets a "good-hearted giant" who likes to collect beautiful dreams, and joins forces against "cannibalistic bad giants" to protect the human world. In fairy tales, two lonely souls are about companionship, about trust, about warmth, and about how to snuggle with each other for warmth in a lonely world.
In the history of film, there is only one director who can be nominated for the best picture Oscar nine times. Steven Spielberg.
The American Film Institute selected the 100 greatest films in film history, and he has 5 of them, the most of any director. His 1975 "Jaws", with a cost of $9 million, won $470 million at the global box office, becoming the first film to be released on a large scale. Of course, his box office record is far more than that. Since then, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Jurassic Park" have been even more grand, breaking records many times.
In addition to his commercial achievements, he directed "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" and won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture twice. To a certain extent, his narrative has established the style of today's Hollywood commercial films.
Some people say that this film is a fairy tale for children. There is no blood, no deception, no ups and downs, and it does not meet the aesthetics of modern young people - Spielberg is old.
In fact, it is not. You think this film is naive, but you don't understand it.
This film was put on the screen for the second time. It was adapted from a fairy tale of a best-selling book. It cannot be said that the fairy tale itself is not good, but that we did not understand the meaning behind the story and the meaning that the author wanted to express.
Sophie grew up in an orphanage, and she always wanted to defect. She was familiar with the escape route and avoiding the inspection of the orphanage nuns late at night. She always thought that monsters would appear at 3 am, so she lost sleep late at night, just to wait for someone else who didn't know. secret. She really let her meet, the tall, splayed-footed, dream-blowing giant with a horn and a suitcase. He is only 7 meters tall, and is a dwarf in the country of giants. He went to dream country to catch his dreams, and then he heard people's voices in the middle of the night and blew good dreams into people's dreamland.
Seeing her, Sophie hid, but was caught by a big hand that came in from the window. The scene was once thrilling. However, the giants did not eat her, but protected her very well, not hesitate to deal with the giants who eat meat. Maybe just because of loneliness, he remembered the little bean boy who once wore a red jacket. He also met him in the same way and was brought back to the giant country by him, but was eaten by the bad giants. He kept the little boy's bedroom, books, and clothes until he met Sophie.
Sophie knew his secret and called him BIig Friendly Giant. Sophie begged BFG to take her to work and go to dream country to dream, so they experienced the teasing of 6 giants in the giant country, and were almost found small. Little Sophie. Seeing BFG being bullied and helplessly endured by them, Sophie felt indignant for BFG. They caught the golden Sophie's dream in dream country, which BFG said was a rare and pure dream. Sophie was very happy. On the way back, BFG heard the cry of a mother whose baby had been eaten by the bad giants. Sophie decided to change that.
But the giants still found Sophie, and the blankets pulled down during the process betrayed Sophie's smell. So they broke into BFG's house, destroyed his work, and searched for Sophie's traces. In addition to the thrill, Sophie accidentally broke into the tree hole bedroom of the little boy who had stayed with the giant for a while. bed, little pages, little drawing paper, and little clothes. After driving away the bad giant, Sophie accidentally saw the picture of the queen, and a flash of inspiration, BFG's ability to blow dreams can help them punish the bad giant.
So they went to the queen and blew the dream of the bad giant eating the child into the dream of the sleeping queen. The queen was awakened and found that it was not just a dream, it was real. Sophie stood on the window sill, begging the queen not to hurt BFG, calling BFG to come to see the queen, the deliberately practiced meeting language was stumblingly spoken by BFG, Sophie could not laugh or cry. The kind queen entertained BFG and Sophie with a hearty breakfast, and dispatched the Air Force to assist them in returning to the Giant Country to punish the bad giants.
After all, BFG is a part of the giant country. At the last moment, they couldn't bear to blow nightmares into their dreams, and the trumpet that was pulled down may be intentional. Sophie picked up the "wrong things are not forgiven" dream mixture and came to the sleeping giant, just as she was about to open the bottle cap, the giant smelled her breath and woke up. A thrilling battle unfolds, pushing the film to its climax.
Fairy tales are fairy tales after all, and the ending will not be bloody beheading or genocide. The conflict between humans and giants is cleverly avoided, and the bad giants are air-dropped to a remote island and given to them. Sophie was finally adopted by the queen, and BFG lived a peaceful life in his tree-hole hut, growing all kinds of vegetables and brewing the frobscottle that he loved to drink.
The whole movie has no particularly violent plot, just a bedtime story. Many people felt that the story was too bland. After experiencing the baptism of Tim Burton's dark fairy tales, he has lost interest in this innocent fairy tale.
Spielberg just made a beautiful story and used the method of film narrative. Often a story resonates because the feelings and emotions expressed in it are a shared human experience. Since it is a fairy tale, it is full of fantasy, excitement, humor and integrity. The scene of catching a dream is beautiful, as if every frame of screenshots can be used as a desktop. From the water world to the underwater world, the misty forest-like wonders, and the thrill of the bad giants using the car as a skateboard, almost squashing Sophie inside, the cuteness of the Royal Corgi, toast The green fog after the frobscottle, the embarrassment of the queen, but simple and happy~
But when you know that this is the story that Roald Dahl wrote in memory of his seven-year-old daughter, you may feel different.
This fairy tale may be simpler than you think.
Giants are metaphors for adults.
This is the story between a child and an adult: the giant country is the adult world, and the good-hearted giant is Roald Dahl.
He had a daughter who died at the age of 7. This fairy tale was a gift from him. In this way, he hopes to tell his daughter that he is her kind-hearted giant, and that he can hear her call, her voice, and her happiness in this world. Maybe he knew his daughter's loneliness in heaven and sensed her daughter's call at a certain moment, so he wrote such a beautiful and heart-warming fairy tale just to commemorate and express.
The good-hearted giant's final words to Sophie brought tears to my eyes:
One day you will grow up, get married, have your own little man bean, and you will have many moments of success and joy, but that's not supposed to be here , you will have a long, good life.
How much Roald Dahl wanted to tell her daughter personally, but he never got the chance. Because I heard her voice and heard her loneliness, I miss her from a distance and bless me here.
He can only tell his daughter in heaven through a kind-hearted giant, in fairy tales. This is a father who, through stories, expresses his thoughts for his daughter, and also leaves himself the best solace in this world.
BFG's character, the first time I saw it, was very kind. He looked like my grandfather who passed away. Shining eyes, deep nasolabial folds when smiling, messy hair, big ears, straight nose, and most importantly, the look in Sophie's eyes, warm and tolerant, with a doting touch. After the age of six, it was my grandfather who woke me up in the morning and squeezed toothpaste for me. I stood in front of the washstand and brushed my teeth. He smoked on the windowsill, greeted young people passing by who got up early for work, and looked at the azure morning mist outside with a smile. , I was carrying a schoolbag, his big hand wrapped my small hand, we were walking on the country road, the dewdrops and air in the morning, as if the lungs had been washed.
In my childhood and primary school, I grew up with my grandfather. Gradually, as he got older, he stopped accompanying me to school and watched me from the window. I was getting older and he was getting farther and farther away.
I like this movie because BFG is as warm as my grandfather. There is a person in the sky who can hear my thoughts, feel my joys and sorrows, and wish me a good life and grow up with me. It is very warm and heart-warming, isn't it?
