A stupid beginning and a stunning end

The ending is very powerful. The little boy created a virtual father in the game he created, and this virtual father was also awakened in the game. The little boy found the courage from the awakened father and killed the stepdad in the real world. , And it appears that he is reunited with his virtual dad in the game.

Such a self-healing little boy is too good

At the beginning of the movie, people were dizzy and in the mist. Everyone on the island knew everything about the old man. It seemed weird. Everyone let him fish. This makes people feel very strange, why is he obsessed with fishing? What's the meaning? Just for money? This narrative has a particularly slow pace.

The turning point of the virtual dad's awakening is the so-called Ark's salesman, who is the NPC for the little hero to talk to the virtual dad.

The appearance of black cats is also a common technique in movies, indicating that bad things will happen.

In general, the first half of the rhythm is too slow, too much foreshadowing, too many descriptions of the self-awakening process of the old male protagonist, and the presentation of the small male protagonist in reality is very vague. The part near the end of the last third is very good, amazing and suddenly realized. But maybe it is precisely because of the long foreshadowing that gave me a great reversal of the ending, because I can never guess.
