00:00At the beginning of the episode, three scientists drive to the beach while one of them, named
00:04Steven, tells them about a giant who was found dead and naked.
00:08The day before, a severe storm hit the sea and the body of a giant washed ashore.
00:13The surprised local fishermen called the officials, who initially refused to believe such terrible
00:18news, but when?
00:20People visit a beach and come back with crazy stories.
00:24Scientists decide to see for themselves.
00:26And so Steven and his fellow scientists who thought everyone was lying about the dead
00:30giant are standing in front of him.
00:32Now this huge crowd surrounds the body.
00:35They're afraid to touch it before they're completely sure it's safe.
00:39Steven's colleagues estimate that the man weighs about...
00:42Approximately 80 tons.
00:44Steven tells us that the huge proportion of the giant's features makes it difficult for
00:48them to know his age, but given that it is believed that he was a young man with a moderate
00:52temperament, three people go around the giant's body to inspect it, and Steven sees a pool
00:57of water that has collected in the palm of the corpse, where small fish swim.
01:02Steven says in addition to the size of the giant, the fact of its presence itself surprises
01:06him more than anything and he compares it to the size of the crowd gathered around him.
01:11While Steven looks at the creature in amazement, his colleague climbs on top of the corpse's
01:14chest and waves towards the crowd, indicating that it is safe to approach him and people
01:19run towards him, chanting, and climb to the top.
01:23Some comment.
01:24They think that the body is rubbery and bouncy.
01:27The children begin to play on its chest and make it dirty with their shoes, but Steven
01:31does not touch it or climb on it.
01:33He is content with watching the giant with his colleagues from afar while writing down
01:37their notes.
01:39Over time, people get enough of playing on the dead giant and everyone returns to their
01:42homes after three days.
01:45He visits Steven to go to the beach again and due to his increasing curiosity about
01:49the giant, his company assigns him the task of monitoring the investigations taking place.
01:54Steven claims that he was not obsessed with observing a dead person because, for him,
01:58the giant was alive more than the people around him.
02:02He watched the giant again.
02:03The next day, Steven deliberately delays his visit to the beach until late so that there
02:06is no one around.
02:08When he arrives, he finds that the condition of the body has become bad and has begun to
02:12decompose, and a teenage girl is sitting comfortably on the giant's ear and using it.
02:17As a chair, Steven notices that the giant's face is less youthful than it was before.
02:22He assumes this is due to prolonged immersion in seawater and swelling of the tissues.
02:27As a crab crawls onto the giant's mouth, Steven claims that it will not be long until
02:31it completely decomposes.
02:33Steven finally dares to step on his feet.
02:36On the body and above his chest he sees a sand castle built by someone then his other
02:40arm appears to us, and we see that half of it has already disappeared, but what remains
02:44of it has been taken away by people.
02:46Meanwhile, his eyelids have become blurry and cloudy, making the appearance of his eyes
02:51like a swirl.
02:53Steven looks into his eyes, saying that the giant's suffering is less tragic than the
02:57isolation that he faces the next time he visits.
03:00In it, the giant Steven finds that the arms have been corroded and his legs have been
03:04cut off.
03:05Steven wanders around the corpse that was vandalized by teenagers who wrote bad phrases
03:09in paint on his body.
03:11He died watching the end of this huge creature, but the bad phrases make him feel that the
03:15creature is more human because it now looks more human.
03:18He is vulnerable to harm.
03:20When Steven comes to the beach the next time, he feels almost relieved after he sees that
03:24the head of the corpse has been removed, just as birds eat their flesh.
03:28While Steven watches it from afar, without the head, the corpse seems less human, which
03:33reduces Steven's relationship with the corpse that he formed in his mind.
03:37And after that day, he did not.
03:39Visiting the beach for a few weeks on his next trip, Steven discovers that any sign
03:43that the body was once human has disappeared and that the only thing remaining is the decomposing
03:47digestive tract of this unique creature.
03:50Now that the public's interest in the giant has ended after several months, and after
03:54forgetting about the giant's issue, we can see different parts.
03:57His body was all over the city, especially his bones, which were damaged while riding
04:02his bike one day.
04:04Steven notices that the giant's skull is thrown away and abandoned.
04:08He believes that if he looks around the conditions of the city, he will find noses and ears destroyed
04:13as well.
04:14According to Steven, these decorations convey the giant's bone better than what Steven
04:18himself remembers.
04:20His limbs are swollen and rotting.
04:22As for the giant's reproductive organs, it seems that they were removed and placed
04:26in a strange museum in a circus.
04:28Steven tells us that these organs occupy an entire tent for themselves, but unfortunately,
04:33they were incorrectly described as belonging to a whale.
04:37Finally, the scientist says that the people who saw the giant remember him as a sea monster.
04:42Only yet, for him, the giant is still alive and he often dreams of his resurrection in
04:47his dreams.
04:48The giant wanders through the city while picking up his limbs on his return trip to the sea.
04:53Although the episode was short, it has a deep and metaphorical meaning in every scene.
04:58Fans of the episode interpret it in their way, but many believe that the narrator, Steven,
05:02is the giant himself.
05:04Steven feels the pain of the dead giant when no one else can feel it thus.
05:08Some fans believe that Steven and the giant are the same person, and perhaps the giant
05:12is trying to communicate through Steven.
05:14In addition, how Steven describes several stages of the decomposition of a corpse in
05:18such detail makes women wonder if Steven himself is the one who is going through these stages
05:23as he looks at decomposition.
05:25The giant's corpse was borrowed for several things.
05:28The narrator, Steven, closely monitors the decomposition of the corpse at every stage.
05:34First, he sees the process that was supposed to happen, meaning that his body decomposes
05:39over time.
05:40Then he notices that people have begun to amputate the limbs of the corpse and deal
05:44with it like commodities.
05:46His method with the human has been shown to him.
05:48It is unfortunate how much consumption and exploitation are considered normal in our
05:53world today.
05:54As the story progresses, Steven begins to question what it means to be human and when
05:58do we decide that we have lost our humanity.
06:01When the corpse had a head, Steven believed that it was a human being, just like him and
06:05those around him.
06:06He believed that the giant was more human than small creatures like him.
06:10However, Steven's sympathy for the giant decreases when he finds him only as a mass
06:15of meat.
06:16Throughout the episode, we do not know exactly who the giant is or where he came from, but
06:21the story centers more on the contrast and differences in the feelings of Steven and
06:24others towards the giant in the book itself, which the episode was quoted from him.
06:29The writer concludes with details about displaying the giant's limbs in your secret, emphasizing
06:33the extent of the giant's limbs despite being larger than them all.
06:37It also indicates the superficial, exploitative nature of man.
06:41On the other hand, describing his reproductive organs as a whale and making their bones mere
06:46decorations for people, at this stage becomes clear.
06:49The giant has been completely stripped of its humanity.
06:52However, Steven describes that those ornate organs and bones are the only things that
06:57convey the magnificence of the giant creature.
06:59Although he loves the creature and remembers it more than anyone else, he believes that
07:03his memory of its decaying body will never convey its greatness as it does.
07:08The preserved parts of his body activate.
07:11The giant was just a legend before he washed ashore.
07:14People were preoccupied with him after his arrival for a short time, but after that,
07:18they quickly forgot him and turned his existence into a legend again.
07:22We humans, like the giant, will fade one day, but we will remain alive in the memories of
07:26the people we met.
