Adapted from real events, so there are no bright spots in the plot arrangement, and the whole story is straightforward. However, this is where the powerful movie is, and the simple story is shot to the extreme. The first is the picture quality style, the overall warm color, one of the starting points should be the sense of time in the 1970s and 1980s. The second is the good shooting, mainly because every frame of the lens is very delicate, even if it is mainly a trivial family scene, all the pictures and details make people feel very full, and the other is that the male protagonist is well selected, two children to adolescence Actors can be combined into one, giving people a sense of seamless connection, which is rare, especially when two people have to reveal the same thing from their eyes. The male protagonist has the kind of withdrawn but firm, willful but kind-hearted character in his childhood. , helpless but brave temperament, especially when the male protagonist looks directly at the camera, the magical feeling directly hooks people. The last thing I have to mention is the soundtrack of the film, which can be said to be very, very, very good. It does not deliberately exaggerate sadness or joy, but integrates music with the advancement of the storyline to present individual emotional changes.
