![]() Jack the Giant Slayer (previously titled Jack the Giant Killer) is a new film based on the “Jack the Giant Killer” and “Jack and the Beanstalk” folktales, which will be released on March 1, 2013. ![]() ![]() I highly recommend it if you are interested in cultural cryptozoology. The motion picture, while fictional, of course, had several youngsters in the audience, and I saw before me the education of yet another wave of humans who may have little or no experiences with giants. The movie actually demonstrates how tales and folklore such as “Jack the Giant Killer” and the ancient knowledge of “giants among us” are shared with young people today – through movies, games, and the Internet. Furthermore, the film’s tribute to how folk traditions are passed along from one generation to the next was familiar and warm. I was pleasantly surprised.įirst off, the opening titles were a surprise. Update: I saw the film Jack the Giant Slayer at an IMAX/3D matinee performance on Saturday, March 2, 2013.
