The BFG: Difference between revisions

** Although, as he only read one book, it's likely that he didn't know what ham actually ''was''. [[Wild Mass Guessing|Either that, or he figured eating animals was better than eating humans.]]

* [[The Butcher]]: One of the giants is named "Butcher Boy".

** A nightmare caught early on is used to save the day during the climax.

** The Queen gives Sophie a sapphire brooch to wear. Later, she stabs the Fleshlumpeater with it to distract him from eating a soldier.

* [[Cultural Translation]]:

** In the Hebrew version the giants fear David (from David and Goliath) rather than [[Jack the Giant Killer|Jack]].

* [[David Versus Goliath]]: The BFG and the humans against the evil giants.

* [[Dream Weaver]]: The BFG is a benign example, mixing up good dreams for the children of the world from the bottled small dreams he captures, and locking away nightmares. He's reluctant to mix up the dream for the Queen in Sophie's plan because, as it's about the horror of the giants, it's naturally a nightmare.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the movie, the BFG is voiced by [[David Jason]].

* [[Hollywood Atlas]]: Lets see...the Queen of England runs everything and can overturn any decisions that her military commanders tries to make...Sweden is such a small community that everyone notices if three of them suddenly disappear...and Baghdad is run by a Caliph.

* [[I Have No Son|I Has No Brother]]: The other giants essentially disown the BFG for not eating humans, though neither party does anything to patch the ties. The climax of the film makes it clear that they [[Fantastic Racism|don't even consider him a giant.]]
