Compared with the book "Gulliver's Travels", the film has changed a lot. First of all, the era background of the movie is different from that of the book. The era background of the movie is selected in the modern era, which adds a lot of jokes to the movie and makes the movie more interesting. The second is the characters. In the movie, Gulliver became a mailroom clerk who likes to talk big. Compared with the strong and brave Gulliver in the original book, he is much inferior.
The biggest change is probably the theme. I think the greatest thing about Gulliver's Travels is the theme, and Gulliver's Travels is an excellent travelogue satire. In the first person, the novel makes a comprehensive satire and criticism of Britain in the first half of the 18th century through the adventures of the protagonist, the British surgeon Gulliver, who traveled around the "Lilliput", "Adult", "Flying Island" and "Hui Lian". , attacked the darkness of the parliament, judiciary and other aspects at that time, and exposed the colonial policy of a ruler. Without such a theme, "Gulliver's Travels" is just a very ordinary fantasy novel. But in the movie, it is about the growth of a mailman named Gulliver. A lot of jokes were added to the movie, making the movie a funny movie that didn't make much sense.
If this movie is not called "Gulliver's Travels", this should be a decent popcorn movie, but it is an adaptation of such a masterpiece as "Gulliver's Travels", which is disappointing. .
