Old-fashioned fairy tale

The

superb special effects of the poems and books in the dream make "Dream Giant" not in vain as a pure dream sketched by Disney for children, but for Steven Spielberg from the perspective of the film, it certainly maintains himself. His directing style, technically impeccable and stunning remains, but he was defeated by the mediocrity of the story itself, so that only children can be infected by the movie.

Like "Alice in Wonderland 2", this is a very beautiful work, and Steven Spielberg gave this fairy tale a more outstanding production, no matter from the background or the subtle The facial expressions of the characters, "Dream Giant" has a distinct "Spielberg" standard, but if it is said that "Alice in Wonderland 2" lost to grotesque, "Dream Giant" lost to mediocrity, Spielber While the quality of the picture is perfect, he ignores that the story is the best foundation for a movie.

In this beautiful fantasy world created by the movie, the only thing that can make people’s impressions from start to finish is the three corgis. The procrastination of the plot and the lack of climax are like "ET". For Spielberg, who is also a children's work, it is incredible. This may be the shackles of the original novel, or it may be that Spielberg has focused too much on the perception and vision and neglected the innovative adaptation of the plot. Not to mention the inequality like watching a deluxe version of "Teletubbies" has become an embarrassment for the movie.

The infancy of "Dream Giant" is not solely due to Spielberg's directing. Personally, if you change to another director, you may make it worse than it is now. The biggest deviation of this work is that it hopes to make the audience in the film. Finding the beauty of innocence, but not telling the audience to find the context of innocence, the story of the movie after the giants, not only does not highlight the dream world created by Spielberg, but it only makes this story particularly absurd. It is true that the original book is a beautiful bedtime story, but the adaptation has not been transformed into the art of light and shadow with appropriate innovation.

Whether it is the original fairy tale or the adaptation of the movie, it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, and even Spielberg has failed to use any whimsical ideas to effectively connect the two. The old-fashioned decline makes the movie Although it is pure and beautiful, it has not been able to interpret a touching fairy tale with the movie.

    A movie suitable for taking children to watch. For some adults, they are used to watching the ups and downs of the plot, and will be a little uncomfortable with this relatively slow rhythm and slightly childish plot. The whole film is also full of British style. , but giving children a magnificent imagination itself is worth rewarding.

    Spielberg, who filmed "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan", saw all the pomp and circumstance of the world, and penetrated the complex human nature. Spielberg, who is 70 years old, is willing to be a dream-blowing giant. Weaving dreams for children and helping adults awaken their innocence. Some people say that "Giant of Dreams" is outdated. When children laugh and cry in the cinema, adults are mocking the movie for being naive and boring. Who is outdated? If old school is cliché, then I love it.
