witching hour is at three o’clock in the morning, not at midnight – the learning of spectators at “BFG” immediately. And also with ghosts has the haunting little to do. Rather make huge figures the dark streets unsafe. Scary but are nevertheless, because if you are not careful and as the orphan girl Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) is a bit too curious, you will be kidnapped by them. At first glance, is “BFG” So quite a scary movie, but only at first.
After a few minutes the supposed monster turns out literally as “Big Friendly Giant” (Mark Rylance), so great and especially gentle giant, who with his unusual body proportions and the funny speech impediment so suddenly no longer frightening. Even little Sophie quickly finds pleasure in her new companion, but unfortunately there is a problem: The other giants have children not only literally, but really likes to eat. They also love to bully the much smaller and generally very different BFG. Two things will take against Sophie necessarily something and therefore forges an amazing plan …
The story of an unusual friendship
“BFG” shows that friendship can go unusual ways. What begins as a sinister kidnapping, soon developed into a very special relationship. Because suddenly it’s Sophie, just as big as the palm of BFG, which points the way to the old giant, gives courage and is the heroine. Sometimes a bit too besserwisserisch and fearlessly, but at least free from the usual Sweet Girl clichés.
It is particularly admirable as director Steven Spielberg has implemented the clashing contrasts visually. Thanks to the latest animation technology merge real and virtual images into a realistic whole. The camera switches skillfully between the different proportions and maneuvered the viewer with rapid rides and changing perspectives in the middle of the world of giants. Great cinema -. In the truest sense of the word
Visually simply gigantic
But despite the realistic presentation, find it difficult to identify with the story , The often dark display, accompanied with some gloomy music will sometimes not fit the humorous adventures of two main characters. In addition, drifting action with a quirky visit to Buckingham Palace into the absurd in the end itself. But still: For Lacher is made
Then, for example, when BFG in Gobblefunk, the language of the giant, speaks and thereby cause havoc with letters, syllables and sentence structure wild.. Words such Zauberzischler, liver beings or Furzelbäume sound strange comic and bring not only children laugh. Just as the beloved of BFG bubbly, which ensures even at the Queen for exceptional Pups attacks.
Conclusion
Great cinema in terms of appearance, great fun for children and adults. In these aspects, “BFG” his name is justified. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the film often seems dark and sinister, in contrast to the usually funny and often bizarre history. Who can not detract from experiencing a visual masterpiece and an extraordinary story of friendship, courage and difference.
