1. A soul-healing movie. Seeing the world from the perspective of a little girl, everything becomes curious and childlike. She will wonder why the shadow of the carriage outside the house is upside down on the wall. Licking ice in the sun and smearing butterflies on her belly, she is smart and brave, because she is afraid that she will run into the arms of the nurse aunt when she sleeps at night, and she is not afraid of falling down again, and she will take her beloved box with her wherever she goes. . 2. Reality and dream. The movie has two main lines, one is real life; the other is an "epic" story told by Roy to a little girl, five heroes (Indian, bearded man, slave, Darwin, masked man) + mysterious man confrontation The bad guy Odias and his soldiers correspond to everyone in life, like a dream, and it is also Roy's inner world. The little girl enters his inner world and brings Roy, who is suffering from depression, to you. Hope of rebirth. 3. Death and hope. There are many ways of "death" in the film, and the old man leaves without pain; Darwin's beloved monkey Wallace was killed by soldiers for catching butterflies for his master, which is also a happy death; teeth reflect "hope", the little girl asked Luo Yi, why do old people put their teeth in a water glass at night, that's the way to save their soul and strength. The mysterious man accidentally lost his teeth, and after being hacked to death by soldiers, he spat out a bird in his mouth. rebirth. 4. Heal. The old man said to the little girl, do you know what I do when something terrible happens to me? I'll just say the magic spell: Googly (go away), googly, googly, begone. The necklace reads "My dearest daughter, never marry for the sake of fame, fortune, power or stability, you must follow your heart."
