The filmstill Riese originates from the animated fairy tale film Der kleine Däumling [Tom Thumb]. The blurred caption is due to the poor projection quality of the 16 mm material whose perforation is worn by frequent use. The shakiness enhances the impression of strain and grit in the face of terror: “Du alter, dummer Riese, ich fürchte mich nicht vor dir!” [You stupid old Giant, I’m not afraid of you!]
