Souls don't die

This movie is a bit like "How to Train Your Dragon". The common point is that the protagonist really understands the hostile species, becomes friends with them, and finally everyone can live in harmony.

The special point of this film is that it is in the context of the Cold War. I feel a bit reflective of World War II. In a special historical context, human beings are sensitive and impulsive.

Fortunately, the ending is quite complete~

"You are made of metal, but you have feelings, and you think about things, and that means you have a soul. And souls don't die."

    The Iron Giant: No. Stop. Why?

    Hogarth Hughes: It was an accident. He's our friend.

    Dean McCoppin: He's a piece of hardware, Hogarth. Why did you think the army was here? He's a weapon, a big... big gun that walks.

    The Iron Giant: I... I not gun.

    Dean McCoppin: Yeah? Then what's that?

    [Points at huge hole the Giant's ray left on a bus]

    Dean McCoppin: You almost did that to Hogarth!

    The Iron Giant: No!

    [Runs away]

    Hogarth Hughes: Wait!

    [Runs after the Giant]

    Dean McCoppin: Hogarth!

    Hogarth Hughes: Come back!

    Dean McCoppin: [sees the toy gun Hogarth left on the ground] It was being defensive. He reacted to the gun.
