we all know bit and piece of gulliver travel . tiny people and yeah and sure . liliputians . giant too and some of u may recall . some might remember the word yahoo come from here . that be it stop for most people . swift book be omnipresent in school library . that be i first read it and and there be a lot of people read it for the last time . it be treacherously lightly write and like many of the old adventure book . child can read it . still and it drip with satire and black and uncompromising . that something i think most screen writer forget when they adapt this movie . this movie remembers and however . our hero and ted danson and give a credible and serious performance a the world adjust man who throw to mysterious country so like our own . gulliver travel criticize everything . theist and scientist and government and commonfolk and ethnicity and humanity itself . few be spar and and most of the satire be just a fresh today . while very faithful to the story and the movie also dare add new angle and all which work very well . the screen writer deserve all credit for manage to balance so well between time and activity ( it not bore and that be ) . production value be way beyond a tv movie . with some marketing this movie would have do well at the box office . all of the fantastic world gulliver visit be well make and explain in detail and often very funny and much like swift book . actor be all pro and since this be a british production . mary steenburgen stand out and along with james fox dr. bates and the chillingly cruel doctor who and much like nurse ratched and only want the patient best . so and a modest proposal and if you ever get the chance to get this movie and do so . it a real treat .
