    The picture is really beautiful, but the beauty is too deliberate and blunt, just like the male protagonist LeePace, you can't say that he is not handsome, but he has no aura. The story is a bit cliché, but anyway the perfect ending I like. This is how life is. Falling down again and again, there will always be a time when you will fly high. Don't give up hope. Slow rhythm and strong tones, and that little girl, I love it. 20110108

    2020.3.21 Your film is so literary and fantastic. Basically, people will definitely think that this film is very magical. In fact, it is not really the case. The film has done a very good job of color and scene layout, especially the oasis in the desert, the Gobi Desert. The Blue City and the slow-motion pictures of Roy falling into the water at the beginning are all beautiful. After reading it, I realized that every character included in Roy's story corresponds to a character in the hospital. Roy is a stunt actor who appeared in one shooting. The accident paralyzed heroine is a little girl who fell from an orange tree. One day, the note that the heroine threw to the head nurse fell on Roy. They became friends. Luo told the heroine about 5 thieves. The governor was imprisoned on a small island and escaped by relying on a swimming elephant. The five of them met a strange mysterious person together. Later, Roy wanted the heroine to help him steal the medicine to kill him. He wanted to commit suicide. The heroine helped him. They released slaves and took away the governor's fiancée on the way, but the thief died one by one, but Luo killed the governor under the infiltration of the heroine. Finally, it was a tribute to the stunt performer.
