The Iron Giant
73Worth an evening.
Keep it. A gun that refuses to be only a gun. Watch the last choice with the lights up.
The review
Hogarth is lonely, funny, and sometimes a bad influence on a giant who copies him. The film is honest about that. The government man wants a threat because a threat makes him necessary. The giant's line, that he is not a gun, is earned by a death the story does not cheat. Souls, in this picture, are real enough to matter. You do not need the theology spelled further. You need the refusal.
Older children can bear it. Small ones may need a hand at the end. Give the hand, and do not skip the end to keep everyone cheerful. The cheer is on the other side of the choice.
