excellent story telling and cinematography . poignant and bite social commentary . superb effect . well filmed and act . however and the parallel action between the present and the travel adventure ( though very well do ) at time drag on a little too much ( about 3 hr ) and and over interrupt the flow of the story . i first read the book a a child and and enjoy the part about the giant and the tiny people but the book lose me when it get to the float island and the land of the yahoo . well and although the adventure plot may sound like a child story and it in fact a very adult story and full of symbolism about the moral decay in england at the time of jonathan swift and the author of the novel that the film be base upon .
