ok listen to this guy i think he remembers it a lot better than me
thanks for correcting me though, haven't watched that movie in forever


I must be an alien, because I never cry on all of this.

You aren't human
I really have turned into a stone-hearted bastard over the years :(

I had a friend in school. Not my best friend, but I had known him since third grade. We didn't always have the best relationship. If I remember, we fought once or twice, but we always apologized afterward. His family was very religious, and when I talked to him, he recited the occasional proverb. I'm Catholic, but have never gone to church or read the bible, so I never really understood their meanings. We always talked in PE, since we didn't have any other classes together. Other than that, he always stopped by my waiting area before class started to say hi.

One morning, he didn't show up. I asked around, but nobody had seen him. I assumed he was absent or home sick, so when the bell rang, I walked to class.

As soon as the tardy bell rang, the assistant principal came on. She had been crying, and her voice was cracking.

He died the night before. He collapsed in the shower and died alone, all resulting from an undiagnosed heart condition. His family was poor, and couldn't afford the funeral, let alone the medication to treay his heart condition. I donated 20 dollars to his family for the funeral. I wish I could have done more.


Guess I'm not the only person who liked Pokemon a lot.

Haven't felt once.
HOw can you not feel once. That's not human.

I watch too much Dateline.


forget.
I don't exactly get it. It's a robot falling and saying Superman.

I don't exactly get it. It's a robot falling and saying Superman.
The Iron Giant saves two boys from death, but is spotted by the military and attacked. The robot tries to fly away with the boy he befriended, but is shot down by a missile. The boy becomes unconscious after the robot and himself are knocked out the the air, but the robot thinks that the boy has been killed. Enraged, the robot turns against the military and starts destroying everything that attacks him. The government man who had been searching for the robot earlier in the movie lies to the general who has a nuclear missile at his disposal. He says that the robot killed the boy and that it is now on a rampage throughout the city. Then the boy wakes up and shows himself to the robot, who stands down and becomes peaceful again. They both show themselves to the general, the government worker, and the rest of the military. When the general is told that the government worker lied to him, the general begins telling the nuclear missile launch to stand down, but the government worker snatches the walkie-talkie and tells them to fire the nuke. He then realizes that that means the missile will be headed straight for the city. He tries to flee, but is subdued and sent to prison. Meanwhile, the robot is told by the boy what has happened, and knows that the missile is heading straight towards the city which will kill everyone. The robot then flies off to intercept the missile. He takes it and carries it up towards space. Right before the nuke explodes, the robot remembers the story the boy told him of Superman. This is why he says "Superman". Then you see the explosion from the cities perspective, which means the Iron Giant has been destroyed.

Before all this, the robot was discovered by the boy who befriended him who tries to keep him hidden from the government. The robot is almost like a mentally disabled little brother to the boy, because the robot doesn't know much about Earth and doesn't know what's right and wrong. This is what makes the robot's death so sad.

It also helps if you originally watched the movie when you were a kid.
