Mirror Mask--Glass Loves Thick Makeup

It is often said that the most important thing in a movie is that the story is good. In fact, it is not entirely true. For some movies, just looking at the pictures is enough, just like an interesting picture book, illustration collection, open the attractive pictures, page by page. , more attractive than the beautiful picture when turning to the end, oh, the movie is over, what about the plot? It doesn't matter if you don't remember.

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.
