In this masterful adaptation of Jonathan Swift's 1726 novel entitled "Gulliver's Travels", the gifted French director, Georges Méliès, playfully explores the endless possibilities of scale modification, in an exercise in style where size is everything. With his typical sense of humour, Méliès places a gargantuan Gulliver with a crooked nose and an enormous beard off the coast of the fabled Lilliput, striding amid the town's minuscule buildings--no spear or bond is powerful enough to keep him down. However, when our giant meets Brobdingnag's colossal inhabitants and their king, suddenly, dread and a vague feeling of insignificance creep in. How does it feel to be small and unimportant?
