After reading the original book, it was recommended by Ming Tsai, but the plot has been forgotten long ago. I only remember that a girl was raped and killed, and then the soul was in the sky watching all kinds of changes in the world. With embedded subtitles, the title of the film is translated into "Susie's World", which is estimated to be a Singapore copy. It's not as good as I imagined, I personally think it's the director's relationship. On the one hand, it is a bit too verbose, on the other hand, it is too obsessed with technology. A lot of special effects have been added, but the spiritual core of the original work has been forgotten. Only technology, no story. Although generally acceptable, I still think the movie could have been made better.

I like that grandma, very unreliable, but very powerful. When the family encounters misfortune and becomes depressed, she is the only one who can do anything. It's not that she doesn't love her granddaughter, but her will is strong enough. Sometimes, we really need to have such a friend by our side, who can give us enlightenment when our thinking is unclear.
