missing a little sparkle

Well worth the Dolby Vision Hall and recommend it to everyone. It is the best audio-visual experience for personal animation viewing, and it seems to see a peak of technological progress.

As a person who has been troubled by achievement anxiety for a long time, I felt that I was gently comforted at the end. In reality, the storm of 22 also trapped many lost souls, and because of the low self-esteem, they may not dare to feel the existence of the storm. Not to mention expressing and asking for help. Thanks to Soul for presenting it, "Oh, it's not just me who thinks I'm unworthy", it makes a lot of sense. In the end, not only is the goal unimportant, there is no need to emphasize a good life, and there is no guarantee that the future will be better, as long as there is a little interesting sparkle. I don't think this is chicken soup, because the expression of positive energy that minimizes beautiful big words as much as possible is actually rare in mainstream film and television dramas.

The problem of the plot is also very prominent, and many treatments are too "thin". For example, as a soul that has been unable to support the wall for thousands of years, 22’s temperament is actually not too depressing or hostile; for example, the parent-child conflict for many years has been completely reversed with a few ordinary confessions; for example, the curative effect of the last leaf is too fast, as if the funds are not enough Burned for a long time. The script is intended to find a real point of empathy, but it too underestimates the difficulties of real life, or avoids the difficulty of script writing. For viewers who are still in the abyss, such a simple treatment may have the opposite effect. The first step in helping people with psychological distress is to empathize with "I understand your pain, and I know it's difficult." Soul only spoke the first half of the sentence, and the second half was too neglected. Looking back on this story, in fact, it lacks a weighty emotional anchor, and the aftertaste will not last long. The most memorable movie I watched recently was "Old Events in the South of the City". Some of the pictures didn't even react to the movie, but I remembered it and resonated strongly. This is the power of excellent creators to restore the real experience. Deduct one star for the lack of literary sparks in the script, and hope that similar films can do better in the future.

    22: Joe, I have been here for who knows how long, and I've never seen anything that's made me wanna live. And then, you come along. Your life is sad and pathetic, and you're working so hard to get back to it! Why? I mean, this I gonna see!
