இந்தத் திரைப்படத்தைப் பற்றி

The Selfish Giant is a contemporary fable about 13 year old Arbor (Conner Chapman) and his best friend Swifty (Shaun Thomas). Excluded from school and outsiders in their own neighbourhood, the two boys meet Kitten (Sean Gilder), a local scrapdealer -- the Selfish Giant. They begin collecting scrap metal for him using a horse and cart. Swifty has a natural gift with horses while Arbor emulates Kitten -- keen to impress him and make some money. However, Kitten favours Swifty, leaving Arbor feeling hurt and excluded, driving a wedge between the boys. Arbor becomes increasingly greedy and exploitative, becoming more like Kitten. Tensions build, leading to a tragic event, which transforms them all. 2013 Selfish Giant Film Ltd/The British Film Institute/ Channel Four Television Corporation

Grim and depressing but you can't take your eyes off it. If you like Ken Loach films, you'll like this...gripping stuff.

Really cute, sad film but odd story line. Just follows 2 young lads through a stage in their life.

excellent film really shows what life is like for some people young and old without it looking false and unrealistic to watch! Very sad ending! Tissues needed!
