Gulliver's travels

The world of the Liliputians in the beginning: Gulliver was viewed as stupid and ignorant just because of his size and what he looked like. They drew conclusions without knowing anything about him. They were royalty, and thought they were the best, even though they themselves were extremely clueless to the world around them. It was obvious that this was the point swift wanted to bring out because they kept making fun of Gulliver and talking down to him. Swift could have been comparing this to today's government system and kings and queens. I think the movie was a great way to show this point and to get it across to the audience. It made me think because it was so creative, and I had to really follow along well to keep track of the worlds and transitions and such. I liked it!
