|Espouses anti-war themes and also brief but strong anti-hunting sentiments. Firearms in general are shown in a negative light, with the phrase "guns kill" being repeated a total of three times throughout the film. The titular giant is referred to as a "big gun that walks." Nevertheless, he is a poor metaphor for a real gun - unlike a law-abiding citizen owning a gun, the giant has no choice in his actions; he is an automatic killing machine, programmed with the inability to use his weapons for good, only for senseless destruction. The conclusion of the story is that he learns to hide his weapons and "not be a gun." Then, to protect the public from an incoming missile, he must fly into it and kill himself instead of using his destructive powers against the missle. As it is explained, "It's bad to kill, but it isn't bad to die."
