dream giant

The dusky road shadows were mottled, and every household was asleep. Sophie stood alone outside the orphanage, calling BFG, but there was no response. No matter how much comedy there is in the film, this is the loneliest scene in my memory, perhaps because most of the time, like Sophie, I was alone in a complex world. "Dream of the Giant" is a fairy tale. The story itself is very simple. It tells that Sophie, a little girl in an orphanage, often can't sleep at night. She accidentally sees a giant outside the window. Local, among the ten giants living in the giant country, he is a short and thin old man, and the other nine are man-eating monsters. He went to catch the dream, gave the dream to mankind, and paid for the sins his own kind committed to mankind. He knew that this was not enough, but he could only do his best. Sophie is a lonely child. She calls the giant that she caught her big friendl giant (BFG). In order to help BFG get rid of the bullying of the nine giants, and to make herself safe with BFG, she asked BFG to give her The Queen of England weaved a terrible dream, and she herself and BFG led the army to exile nine giants to an island, and from then on they could only eat long-nosed melons for a living. The film focuses on Sophie and BFG's friendship. And not much about finally catching the nine weirdos, when Sophie was standing on the balcony railing, I guessed she would have jumped, because I also believe the BFG is right there. BFG and Sophie were sitting on the mountain in the giant country, Sophie looked at the bottle containing her dream and wondered what her dream said. BFG said with a bit of sentimentality, you have your own family, you will have your own children, you will have happy times, and sometimes you will encounter difficulties, and you will have your own joys and sorrows. It contains the life that Sophie yearns for, and there will not be a moment more lonely than before. Spielberg isn't a cookie cutter, and the blockbuster Hollywood routine we're used to doesn't appear in this film. Coming out of the cinema, the streets of Nanjing are also mottled shadows under the dim street lamps. The autumn nights are a bit cool and the leaves are bleak. However, as if influenced by the movie, I felt that this night was delicate and warm, a little moved, and of course, mixed with some sadness.
