"リリイ·シュシュのすべて" is a movie adapted by Shunji Iwai based on his novel describing the interconnected world. He spent several months as an ordinary tourist in the online forum to observe and communicate with netizens in person, and a lot of materials he collected were used in the film. Director Iwai has always been good at digging into the details that people sleep in their hearts. In this movie, the sorrows and joys of people's hearts and the face of the times have also been meticulously and profoundly portrayed. The protagonist is a group of 14-year-old teenagers, but various indifferent and cruel phenomena such as bullying their peers and assisting in communication appear in their lives as commonplace. All these are even more shocking against the beautiful rural scenery in the film. However, the teenagers who get comfort from the virtual world of the Internet ultimately face the cruelty of reality

Most people don't like this movie, and it is not meant to be "lovable". For me, the rotating CD in the Walkman is blindly devoted to music and online forums, flip phones and a large series of mobile phone chains, and wearing ugly wristbands when not exercising, making false noises with classmates... Unclear hallucinations/reality, invisible life beginning/end is like a farmer in Siberia... The movie is like an X-ray showing the bones of that period of time.

Iwai Shunji's worldview is the expression of two extreme thinking in typical Japanese national culture. The extremely pure, gorgeous and dazzling youth is also extremely sensitive and painful. Lily Zhou is just the spiritual sustenance of a few young people in the film. For them, music is already the only pure land to escape the cruel reality, but when the last fortress also collapses, the unarmed young soul can only choose to destroy it.
