giant who has brought her to his
cave, but soon she comes to realize
that the BFG is actually quite
gentle and charming, and, having
never met a giant before, she 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 other quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country attracts the unwanted
attention of the other giants, who become increasingly more bothersome. Therefore Sophie decides
that it is time to break off the giants’ tradition to eat children. She and BFG, then, soon depart for
London to see the Queen in order to warn her about the precarious Giant Country’s situation, but
they must first convince the Queen herself that giants do indeed exist. Eventually they succeed, and
together they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all, thanks to a military strike.
The British Army Helicopter Corps effortlessly ensnare and capture all other giants: they are lifted
away onto an isolated uncharted island somewhere in the world, where numerous crates of
snozzcumber seeds are left
with them, much to their
fury.
In the aftermath, Sophie
begins living in the Queen’s
palace, while the BFG
returns to Giant Country to
resume giving dreams to
people, and begins growing
a wide variety of vegetables
inspired by his experience
in London. The film ends
with Sophie narrating that whenever she feels lonely, which is less often than before, she talks to
him. He can still hear her. Leaning out of her window, she says “Good Morning, BFG”, meanwhile,
at his writing desk, the BFG hears her words and smiles. In conclusion, I like to suggest you “The
BFG” as an really emotional film that deserves to be seen and savored by open-mind people who
still believe in the power of dreams also in real life, and for whom the magic of fantastic stories will
never go out of fashion.
