I think this film was just designed to be a dance drama at the beginning, not a fantasy war design. However, if it is expressed in the pure artistic way of dance, the effective audience will be very small. It can only be an art film and not a commercial film. So Hollywood directors and screenwriters had an idea to replace pure art with intense war scenes. Although the combination is abrupt, the effect is really good.
But I didn't see the lily scene that my best friend said.
My understanding of the plot of this film is very simple, a girl is sent to a mental hospital, innocently...for her stepfather's conspiracy.... So she imagined herself as a little girl who was sold into a brothel. In this world, she had to learn to dance to please others. I can understand this very well, because I also have a lot of fantasies, and I am often immersed in my own fantasies. However, not so good X. When this little girl encounters bigger difficulties (such as how to get the appreciation of the female doctor (in the brothel mode, she is the dance teacher), how to successfully obtain the items she wants), she will enter deeper Fantasy, in that world, she and her companions are invincible warriors. Although later, she lost her three companions. Of course, we can know from the hints in the play that the key man must have done something to these girls, such as abusing or something. In the end, she sacrificed herself and successfully escaped another girl who had no mental problems (it was explained in the play that she was admitted to the mental hospital to accompany ROCKET). God forbid, she finally got out. But the other three girls, are they really dead? It shouldn't, because no matter how good the administrator of the mental hospital is, he still needs to be responsible for the safety of the patient's life. Otherwise, he would not have shouted at the last moment to betray the priest to save himself.
Overall, it's still a good movie. Unfortunately, there is no lily as I imagined.
