Not recommended for older kids (spoiler alert)

I read it with a few colleagues for work reasons, and then they all felt uncomfortable.

First of all, this is a pretty good movie. The production quality of the movie is not low. After all, it is a foreign commercial mass production level, and there are many Chinese elements, but it is still only superficial. It is full of stereotyped images of foreigners about China. Strength, diploma first, tiger mother, collusion between black businessmen, and the people at the bottom can't turn over even after exhausted and exhausted injuries. . . Various small details also clearly show the shadow of the Western-style setting. Of course, there are also positive aspects such as family affection, neighborhood harmony, and rapid social development, but there are still many violations, like a foreigner pretending to be a Chinese. The ending is also very abrupt, and I always feel that I am missing a breath, and I feel a little hasty.

The biggest problem with the film is the plot. Some of the plots in this film are uncomfortable in the eyes of adults who have experienced various social beatings. He only told you one truth: hard work is useless, it is better to be lucky, if you are lucky, the lamp god will fulfill your wishes, you can easily obtain force to fight against those who bully you, and you can easily become a child of a rich family, even People who were previously unable to climb high will also meet with you again in the middle of the family. . .

The film said that friendship is more important than money, and the male protagonist thought so at the beginning. It should have been two lines in parallel, one male and female protagonist friendship line, one male protagonist Shenlong friendship line, but it was Shenlong that made the male protagonist see the reality completely and gave up Friendship and hard work wanted to rely directly on making a wish, but Shenlong didn't have any friendly interaction with the male protagonist. In the end, he relied on the screenwriter's "Mechanical Divine Arrival" to brainwash Shenlong and forced the theme back. In the middle of "friends", it was "although we are very happy together, but you are not even worthy of being my friend." In the later stage, there was basically no interaction. In the end, it was the screenwriter's "Mechanical God" that brainwashed the heroine's father and made the two meet again. , Just this male protagonist used his last wish to save the female protagonist's father who wanted to snatch him a chance to turn over. . . ok, it's pretty cool

Just imagine the story of the male protagonist who didn't get the dragon in the first place. It's really realistic and makes people want to cry.

It's fun for children to watch, and adults can pass the time. To be honest, it's really not suitable for older children who are shaping three views.
