After confirming that the director is not Tim Burton, I determined that this is a film imitating him, from the character modeling to the art and even the soundtrack, it has the shadow of the Tim Burton film. But on this basis there is more British humor, pay attention to humor not funny. Of course for a new film released in 2010. It also has a lot of innovations, such as dividing a complete movie into two episodes, and making a joke with the audience halfway through it. There is also the competition between the Internet and the post in the plot, which somewhat brings some metaphors and irony to this era. In an era where information can be transmitted by just tapping on the keyboard, do we still remember the feeling of writing and the taste of black and white letters? This is a good-looking movie, suitable for watching a few days ago, holding a lot of snacks under the covers on a cloudy and rainy day. But I always believe that movies must be more than just entertainment for the audience.

Miss Cripslock: Wouldn't you...
Reacher Gilt: You might as well tear it up and scatter it to the four winds!
Miss Cripslock: Mr Gilt, this claims form is 50 pages long.
[It is clear from the expression on Gilt's face that he was hoping nobody would realize this]
