GIANT: Superman.

— The Iron Giant (1999), screenplay by Tim McCanlies, screen story by Brad Bird, based on the book “The Iron Man” by Ted Hughes

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Artificial Intelligence, suggested by Angry Cyborg. Today’s recommendation by Will King.

Trivia: Excluding the yells and groans, The Iron Giant only says a total of fifty-three words.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Will: “Completing his change arc, the giant sacrifices himself to protect those who had accepted him. Early in the story the giant became enamored with Superman comics, and now emulates his hero as he saves Hogarth.”
