Not sure why, but the sound of the giant walking has always been one of my favorite film sound effects.

It honestly sounds like a steam locomotive chugging

[@connorrussellsmith2284]

[@KeijiSuwa]

​@@connorrussellsmith2284 Fun fact: There were some other sound effects in this movie that were reused from Terminator 2, especially in the scenes where the Army shoots at the Giant - the sound of the T-1000's gun was reused for General Rogard's gun, and the sound of the Terminator's shotgun was reused for the battleship cannons.

[@treystrains8224]

@@cleverorb5914 cuz it is. In 2004 Skywalker studios recorded sounds from a steam train, pere Marquette no. 1225 pulling hopper cars full of sand up a grade making heavy chugging sounds. And the sound you hear. Is the same sound for the trains chugging for the movie polar express (2004)

This movie is so unique. We're having it next for movie night for sure. This scene, a child saves a monster, then runs screaming. Adults won't save monsters. Children are so innocent, curious - yet can be little devils at times. I'm so happy for the portrayal of Hogarth here and throughout the movie. It has such deep metaphorical meanings that anyone watching, no matter the age, can enjoy it on so many levels.

[@jackrios4040]

TIFFANY PERSAUD if anything this movie taught me, it's that the giant was forever grateful that hogarth saved him. He only got hostile when he thought he failed to save Hogarth.

[@WillieManga]

I love much of the storytelling is through implication instead of exposition. Sure, there is some exposition, but there is no dilogue in this scene. What kind of kid in the 50s has a pilot hat? The son of a pilot, perhaps? Hell, Hogarth has a picture with a plane in it. Since this is set in the cold war era, it can be inferred that Mr. Hughes was shot down when Hogarth was younger. And that's just the past. We see here that the giant eats metal, and we see that it can feel pain, which is why Hogarth turns off the power to save him. He's still afraid of him, rightly so; Hogarth isn't some perfect all knowing kid, but he feels what it potentially could turn out to be doesn't matter, all that matters is that it might die. What we see explains far more poignantly than I possibly could
