They like to toss him around and one giant gets hit in the groin when BFG is thrown directly at him. The bigger giants have some violent names like Bone Cruncher, Blood Bottler, etc., and BFG gets bullied and pushed around by them whenever they cross paths.
One giant attempts to eat a child, but does not succeed. The film isn’t violent, but does have its perilous moments and bits of action. BFG bungles up words frequently and comes up with his own exclamations. There is no profanity, but there is some mild name calling, including multiple uses of the word “runt” and a “curse you” comment. There is very minimal content for concern in “The BFG.” There isn’t any sexual content, and the closest we even get is seeing a shirtless, animated giant. This is not Spielberg’s best work, in terms of directing, but it is still a fun adventure that is well-executed on a technical level. However, the screenplay feels weak, at times, and the story in general does not flow quite as smoothly as I had hoped, as some small plot holes arose and other elements are not clearly explained. Mark Rylance fits the role of BFG very well, and the giants, in general, are near life-like, thanks to the continuing advance of CGI technology. The visuals are stunning, and John Williams does not disappoint with a whimsical, touching musical score. Janusz Kaminski’s cinematography is beautifully executed (as always), and Michael Khan’s editing is near flawless, as we weave through the grass filled lands of Giant Country. “The BFG” is a fun, magical family-friendly adventure and a welcome return from director Steven Spielberg. BFG may be smaller than the rest of the bunch, but he has a much larger heart and has an endearing companion in Sophie, as they seek peace and restoration in the fantastical Giant Country. But there are other giants in Giant Country that aren’t nearly as friendly.īFG and Sophie begin to form a strong friendship, but the other bigger and meaner giants discover that BFG has brought a human into their land and are now bent on having a little snack. BFG shares with Sophie that a young child once called him “The Big Friendly Giant,” in the past.
Of course, Sophie is frightened, at first, but the giant’s warm personality begins to grow on her, and she eventually gives him the name “BFG” or Big Friendly Giant. He merely scooped her up, because he was afraid she would tell everyone that a giant was roaming the streets of London, causing him to be hunted down. However, this particular giant doesn’t intend to harm Sophie. The story revolves around a precocious young orphan named Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) who is whisked away by a nameless giant (voiced by Mark Rylance) one dark and dreary night in the city of London. Yet another book from children’s author Roald Dahl gets the big screen treatment in Steven Spielberg’s take on The BFG.
