This is a story suitable for children. Everyone in the story, Shenlong, Siqi, Lina, and Lina's father, got a good ending for them.
I feel that this movie is seriously imitating Disney, and of course there are some not-so-good-looking things that cannot be ignored. For example, I feel that although there is a foreshadowing in the middle process, the attitude changes of some characters are not well presented, which seems a bit abrupt. Such as Shenlong and Wang Dad. The ending has also been vaguely dealt with, of course, whether this is good or bad is a matter of opinion.
But if it's a movie for kids, I think it's mainly trying to convey a correct view of money. In real life, it is indeed an undeniable fact that money will bring about different life circles and social status. While not denying the role of money, we must also acknowledge its limitations. Many spiritually important things are related to money. It doesn't matter. It's a cliché to be honest, but the way the movie is presented is okay.
One of the things that impressed me the most was the parent-child relationship. Si Qi's mother is a typical strict mother who hopes for her son to become a dragon, and Wang's father is a typical successful father who wants the best things for his children but neglects love and company. A typical Chinese parent. In fact, I personally don't agree with this form of love that binds the parents' personal will, but this is exactly the typical characteristic of Chinese parents. Although I disagree objectively, I can fully understand this way subjectively. Although there is a lot of discussion about the moral kidnapping of love, I always feel that as long as the contradictions that start from love are resolved with love, it is the best ending. But it doesn't have to be that extreme sometimes, doesn't it? Si Qi's mother would apologize for being too strict, and Wang's father also understood that companionship was more precious than superior material conditions. The greatness of Chinese parents is sometimes also reflected in this mentality of struggle and improvement, isn't it?
