This was a beautiful and heart-warming movie that I’d definitely watch again. It’s based on one of Roald Dahl’s (bless him, one of the greatest writers to have ever lived) books, which had the same title. It centers around a young girl named Sophie who’s kidnapped by the a giant she later names the BFG after she sees him blowing a happy dream into a child’s room. Despite what you may think, the BFG is actually a very kind person- or giant as you might say.
This movie was absolutely fantastically done. Almost everything about it was perfect- the acting, the CGI, the dialogue, etc. It might even be better than the book. The BFG is a truly wholesome character who is fiercely against his fellow giant’s monstrous ways (they eat people), even when they harass and destroy his most loved possessions- the dreams he collects and then gives to children. Speaking of which, the whole dream concept was lovely, and the scene where the BFG collects his dream was simply magical. Sophie is also an admirable character who is determined to stop the other giants and help her friend the BFG along the way. If you’re considering whether or not to watch this movie, DEFINITELY watch it. This is a movie sprinkled with humor, kindness, tears, and real spunk. It’s still one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. WATCH IT.
