My first week of being in California I went to see Disney’s The BFG early. By early, I mean we saw it the day before its release date. Not too many people get this kind of opportunity in their life for any kind of movie. The only people that come to mind are those who went to midnight premieres and missed school the next day, especially those who were obsessed with Twilight. Here are some of my thoughts after watching this film.
1. OH YAY, ENGLAND!
Anytime a movie takes place in England my heart jumps for joy! My people should be proud of themselves for living in an amazing country.
2. That tree though!
That tree that held all those dreams was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, It’s almost like Christmas was lighting up in front of our eyes.
3. That pond though!
Who knew illusions can be that real in a Disney movie? When they jumped into that pond to find more dreams, my mind was blown!
4. Those dreams though!
Those dreams are very vivid from the beginning of the movie all the way to end. I sometimes wish I had dreams like those and had someone narrate them like the BFG did.
5. This giant is the friendliest giant.
At first I had no idea what the giant was doing putting Sophie in the pan. Once they actually talked I was glad no one was getting hurt.
6. Sophie knew their friendship was going to last.
From telling each other secrets to the BFG actually having Sophie stick around that friendship was going to last a lifetime. Who else would go on adventures like that too?
7. Sophie finally had a family!
After that whole episode with the giants and the queen her dreams of having a family came true. The fact it was a royal family too made me grin from ear to ear.
8. That vegetable looks disgusting.
The snozzcumber did not look like a food us humans would eat. Inside and out I was thankful this vegetable does not exist in our society.
9. That moment you finally had real food.
The BFG looked baffled when those eggs and toast came to his very table. His reaction when he first took a bite is the reaction college students have when coming home for break.
10. Roald Dahl’s book was well done as a Disney movie.
I can easily say that Disney has done it again making another masterpiece. I don’t think there are any more words to describe it.
If you loved this book as a kid then you will definitely love this movie. The BFG is playing in theaters starting July 1st.
