      edge of the world

      Mirror mask.
       I don't seem to understand the theme of this movie, but the ingredients of fairy tales are like dreams.
       Books that no one likes will run back to the library by themselves, and the books in the library must be caught with a net. Everyone has masks on their faces, cute scary masks. Even a tower will come to the rescue after its owner apologizes. The sphinx guy is an idiot, and the queen is guarded by a slow-talking giant.
       Helena's graffiti has become a world without...

      mirror mask

      This movie made me feel a lot, especially the ending, which is always unexpected, but I think having an unexpected ending just reflects the ability of the screenwriter.

      I feel that the tone of this film looks very comfortable, not fancy at all, especially calm and soothing.

      The story is very touching and highly watchable. When I was watching the movie, I was completely immersed in the storyline, and the woman next door even cried.

      The joys and sorrows in the movie...

      girl's adventure

      In fact, I don't quite understand its theme, and the impression from self-viewing is that the little girl whose parents run the circus, longing to leave the circus to live a "real life", had a quarrel with her mother before a performance on the stage. During this performance, the mother fainted due to illness. Then the mother was hospitalized, and the circus operation encountered difficulties. One day, the girl learned that her mother was going to have an operation at night, and that night,...

      The ultimate in imagination

      After many years, I finally revisited this movie that had a huge impact on me as a child. Even as I get older, it still has the same impact on me as before.

      Visually speaking, the film has an excellent visual impact on the audience. Weird, absurd, abstract, these elements make up all the parts of the heroine's dream, which is really impressive. It really creates something that you can't even imagine in reality. That alone deserves three stars.

      In terms of the structure of the...

      A person is not grown up

      It seems a bit sad to be predestined since childhood. Who made the circus a dream of my father? Alas, I like to wander in the world of paintings, like my own fairy tales, and like to be imaginative, not the circus that every child envy. But after mom fell ill, the world collapsed, and you couldn't quarrel with mom anymore. The rebellious you in the world in your paintings sneaked out and started to go your own way, quarreling with your father, engaging in non-mainstream affairs, and...

      In addition to the wild imagination, the picture quality is not beautiful, and the content is relatively boring, eh! Can't...

      I don't like it at all, and I think that magic is just an even dish. It's Alice in Adventure. The heroines are neither small nor pretty. To grow up, to be independent, and to get rid of the quarrels and quarrels with my mother. The stunt picture is a little...

      The visual sense of the mechanical city is a strange dream of a little girl. The fear of reality is projected into the restless sleep in the dark night, but this is just a dream of a little girl....

    Movie quotes

    • Sphinx: Hungry.

    • Helena: Riddle? Riddle. So have you thought of an answer yet?

      Gryphon: You can't pass. I give up, I think, no wait, wait... Fine. What's the answer?

      Helena: Okay. It's a herring.

      Gryphon: But a herring isn't green.

      Helena: You can paint it green.

      Gryphon: But a herring doesn't hang on a wall.

      Helena: You can nail it to a wall.

      Gryphon: But a herring doesn't whistle!

      Helena: Oh, come on. I just put that in to stop it from being too obvious.

    • Helena: [Trying to summon Valentine's tower to stop from being consumed by shadow swarm] You know, sometimes it helps to apologize to others, even if it isn't your fault.

      Valentine: I'M SORRY.
