Dionysos and Giant Jack Lore?
Someone please help me because this has been eating away at me last weekend and I want to understand. It’s too good to be true, but I would like for this to happen anyway.
So there’s this French band called Dionysos and prior to this, I had only known two songs from the band: Tais Toi Mon Coeur and Tes Lacets Sont Des Fees, the latter being a light-hearted song with a pun title and a cool yet eccentric animation of a giant watching a dancer and an ukulele-playing bird performing that no one talks about and you could only find the original music video if you search hard enough. I remembered it, so I wanted to hear more music and research.
The leader is a man named Mathias Malzieu. He has written at least two books, has been involved with film, and the albums seem to follow a concept story.
I managed to watch Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart on Tubi and the film was okay. I read that the book has a different ending to the film and that the album story may have differences as well. So far, I might have to do deeper research, but in the Wikipedia, it says that in the concept album Jack becomes a giant in the end supposedly the Giant from the previous album (again, I have to do some research on it).
And speaking of that previous album as well as the song “Giant Jack”, I read that it was based on a novel/story where a giant named Jack helps Mathias grieve/heal after his mother passes away.
I know this is long-winded, but all I want to know is that are all these depictions of a giant named Jack the same person????? Because if so, could you imagine the awesomeness of that?!
A boy born with a weak heart so he gets one made out of a cuckoo clock falls in love, learns how to be human, partakes in a love triangle tragedy that almost kills him, grows up in a new body that keeps on growing, becomes a shadow of his former self, helps a man from making the same mistakes he did… … … And eating an entertainer couple while surprisingly not committing property damage.
Okay, the last part is stretching it and questionable, but c’mon! I want to know more about Giant Jack.
