This movie may be more detached in the 2D part, because this part is memory and fragmented, and the creator cuts it up on the editing. It is very fun to jigsaw puzzles and is responsible for three brushes of "Earth". I will help you sort out the timeline of this part (12 years ago and 12 years later) and the key details. The 3D part uses a long lens to extend the time that Luo spends with all the people who have been lost. It is more coherent, so I won’t go into details. .
