Another children's book by Roald Dahl is made into film just in time for his 100th Birthday this September. The BFG, is now made into film like its "brothers" James and the Giant Peach, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The big adventure is set to open this August 10.
Though I not familiar with the book itself, Dahl's work is something I love for the diverse fantasies he incorporates in his stories and still linking it to the mortal world with a unique way to turning grim realities to a little lighter one. The BFG maybe takes a bigger bite of the real world with the involvement of the orphan girl into the land of the giants.
Though one might have to strangely adapt to the way giants talk, it would eventually sink in to viewers what they are trying to say. The movie is filled with colorful visuals that balances the dark and bland tones of the man-eating giants. Though there is a lot of explaining to do to kids who would be seeing this as it would make them question the real world.
