In this trailer for «Disney's The BFG» we see some CGI giants and I have no idea what to make of them. On the one hand it is a family film by Steven Spielberg and on the other hand it is also a family film by Steven Spielberg, certainly according to the scheme X. Most of the time the child has some parental problems, experiences an adventure, grows up and reconciles with his parents or gets some. Well, looks nice, really very nice and nice is the little brother of… The film based on the book by Roald Dahl, who also wrote «Charlie & The Chocolate Factory», will be in our cinemas on June 21st.
The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie's presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.
As a Doom player you know that BFG doesn't stand for Big Friendly Giant
