a movie full of crazy imagination. A little girl saves her dream.
Movies are always full of dreamy elements, and the whole picture is filled with objects under various artistic brushes. It seems that while the protagonist is in a dream, the audience must also enter.
From the beginning of the rebellion against life and the restraint of his parents, to the sudden collapse of his mother because of the performance, and the admission to the hospital, until his father fell into the crisis of circus management at the same time, the story began to revolve around the mother’s sentence "You can't handle everything in real life" expands.
It seems that the excessive worry about the mother's operation makes the protagonist feel more guilty about the film's quarrel with her mother. The film also captures this family affection and talks about it.
On one side is the crazy and rebellious dark female princess in the dream world, and on the other side is the circus girl in the real world who loves her relatives (especially her mother) deeply. The princess changed the girl's real life through the mirror mask, and plunged the world of darkness and light into chaos, and darkness was beginning to consume light. The girl who fell into the dream originally wanted to save the light princess. In that bizarre world, from the spell, to the riddle, to the key, to the last mirror mask, while also escaping from the darkness, the girl finally saved the light, or It should be said that the girl brought darkness and light back to balance. At the same time, it turns out that what she ultimately saves is herself, her life in the real world, she can't handle everything in real life, but she can't leave the real life, where there is her beloved mother and everything about her .
I really like the seemingly random paintings and imaginative graffiti of the girl in the film. The film also uses these pictures of her to connect the real world with the magical world. The outlet is the windows in her paintings.
One place in the film that touched me a little is that the girl reached the top of the tower through the riddle with the four-legged monster, where the giant flying in the sky gave her the box at the last moment when the darkness was swallowed. It turned out that the floating thing was two people hugging each other tightly. The darkness turned one of them into ashes, and the other was like a kite with a broken wire, going with the wind.
The protagonist in the film betrayed the little girl at first, but when he finally found the right keyhole with the key, opened the box, and found the letter from the princess, he suddenly changed his mind and finally helped the little girl return to the real world. What's interesting is that his name is Valentine, and the last two of the film also met in the real world, which is a great match.
In short, this is a very artistic drama that reflects family affection. After experiencing the rebellious period of being young, watching this kind of film again seems to feel how naive it was at that time. Fortunately, we did not fall into such a predicament. Time Saved us, our parents tolerated us.
To commemorate a boring Wednesday afternoon after school starts.
