Still bland, still trivial. Better than "Orange" and "Southern Beast". In the rain scene, can the rain be more fake?

Keeping the shot completely neutral does place the audience in a middle position, as if to take you on a half-tour, half-experience, rather than empathizing with you. The lack of critical spirit in this film finally made up for it in the characters, who were so real and three-dimensional that it was hard to ignore. From the fake castle to the real paradise, it is just a stone's throw away but separated by mountains, just like the distance between reality and fantasy. As for whether the audience fled with them, it probably varies from person to person.
