Children+dream is always a good subject for expressing imagination. Watching children's films with pure thinking is actually the brain light of adult audiences. The mirror mask is completely like this movie, with beautiful pictures, a lot of special effects shots with weird styles, and the rendering of light and shadow is a little fake and animation. It's like Alice in Wonderland, so we only need to treat it as a visual game.
When metaphors are added to fairy tale movies, the theme immediately becomes deep and profound. The messy plot makes the theme obscure. Mirrors and masks are the opposite of reflecting and covering up the truth. The joys, sorrows and sorrows on our faces are imprinted on others. In our eyes, how real we are, but only we know it, just like a mask. On the contrary, does the mirror necessarily reflect the real image? If the mirrors are all illusions, which one is the real one? Watching the beautiful mask fluttering in the air, I always have a good feeling in my heart that is destroyed. When I think of the words to scold: Chen Manshen, please step aside.
