"The BFG" Reveals Secret Of Roald Dahl; Steven Spielberg Made The Must-Watched Heartwarming Family Movie Ever Made

A known children's classic, Roald Dahl's "The BFG" is a touching take on a young girl's candor and finding a friend in an unnatural being. One of Dahl's notable work, director Steven Spielberg brings this book classic to the big screen.

In the movie adaptation of The BFG, viewers are introduced to a different world of dreams and follows the friendship between Sophie and the title character portrayed by Mark Rylance, in an NY Times post. The movie is also dedicated to Spielberg's long-term collaborator Melissa Mathison, who passed away last November.

The BFG, or big friendly giant, at first was likened to a bogeyman by children, is actually a whimsical creature who talks in a unique fashion. With the young Sophie as the friendly giant's captive, she eventually becomes his trusted friend and ward.

As Sophie and The BFG venture in their adventures and discover their fair share of insecurities, they realized that they are similar in many ways. The BFG also tells Sophie of the other giants who are unkind to him and brands him an outcast. These unfriendly giants also have a thing for humans, regarding them as food (beans). As The BFG remains protective of Sophie in the story, both get to visit the Queen and enjoy a nice time over breakfast with her assistants.

In a related io9 post, the heartwarming story between The BFG and Sophie didn't quite start right away. During the first few minutes of the film, Sophie's loner persona is rather equivalent to The BFG, as he also feels he deserved being named a run by the other giants.

One noticeable facet of The BFG's persona is his brandished way of talking, which has been kept unintelligible throughout the movie, and true to Dahl's book. However, his manner of talking in broken English may have been difficult to understand from the start, yet it becomes a read-between-the-lines thing for Sophie and the audience.

In more ways than one, Roald Dahl's passion as a writer can be summed in these few lines: that the highest mountain seen on the walk is the obvious ending to a book, when everything else comes together, according to People. The BFG and Sophie's journey from acquaintances to close friends are a nice reminder that anything with anyone is possible, post-scary bottled dreams.
