Jack the Giant Slayer

As you all have probably heard about Jack and the Beanstalk, the movie, Jack the giant slayer,  resembles it. This movie is started by telling the legend of giants’ existence and brobdingnag: Monks in one country wanted to meet God, so they make some beans which are grown so big. However, a presence they met was giants who can eat human being. They came down from sky to the place human lives and started to eat them. A wise king and monks at that time managed to prevent it from giants and send them back. That story descended from that time to a time when Jack lived.

 

When I think about this movie, I have sometimes wondered what purpose this movie tried to serve. Perhaps, I think that the giants can look like human, because we also eat animals for ourselves. Also, the giants were very greedy and acquisitive of power, just like our society. Jack and princess, Isabel, faced giants. Jack was hero and princess was damsel in distress in this movie. The princess was caught and Jack went to save her.

This movie makes me feel like it seems not only like an adventure, but also a fairy tale.
Since I am familar with the fairy tale related to this movie, it was easier to watch and appreciate it. However, it is so expectable that I could what would happen, so this movie left too much to be desired. Although changing well-known stories into something new can makes us feeling something lacking, it is very worth making in this way.

Of 5 stars, I would like to give 3.5 stars, because there was no large difference from the original work.
