Although,"The Iron Giant" is animation, it is an injunctive movie for adults as well. That story is like "The Little Prince". The background of the movie was the 1950's, and at the beginning, a boy was left home without his mother. She told him not to watch TV too much or eat sweets too much. But the little intelligent boy did all that anyway.
Moreover, he walked outside and he went somewhere far away from home. At that time, he ran into something amazing to see. It was a huge-steel robot. It was moving by itself and eating some iron. At first, the boy tried to avoid the monster, but the robot did not seem to want to injure him.
So, they got to know each other better and better. The story became exciting near the end, but I felt little sad. The iron giant, named Dean, was a great friend of the boy. It protected him and save the world from the guns. But the selfish army who likes war and guns, attacked him, awfully.
Finally, Dean left the earth and he sacrificed himself for the human beings. And the movie was the end.
Personally, I like the scene which is when the boy taught English to the Iron Giant. The boy said, " me, go! you, stay!!" and then, the end of the scene Dean said, "I, go. you, stay." When he left to save the human's world. So, I could not watch it without crying.
Sometimes, I feel that I'm only thinking about my profit too much, and people have been causing bad affect on society or nature in history.
Some loves war; some love destruction. But we have to do the right thing. This movie was a good thing for remind me of it. I strongly recommend The Iron Giant.
