This movie is about a magical world, but with the development of science and technology, various technologies gradually replaced magic, and finally magic was forgotten by everyone, and only a few people still retain the talent of magic. The male protagonist Ian is very unconfident, but his brother is completely different from him, because their father died very early, and the brother is just like Ian's father. One day, the mother took out a piece of his father's relic, and after opening it, It was found to be a staff, and there was a letter in it, which said magic that could regenerate people for a day. My brother tried many times with the staff to no avail. At night, Ian read the magic, but I didn't expect it to be true. The magic power was released, but only half of the gems were blown up. In the end, only the father's lower body was left. In order to revive their father, they had to find a good gem. The two brothers embarked on a journey to find the gem. After a lot of twists and turns, they finally found the gem. Just near the school, after the gem was taken out, the dragon sealed inside was released. Ian planned to fight the dragon, but found that he couldn't fight at all. The second time was that his mother threw a sword, and Ian used magic to stab the sword into it. The dragon's heart, the dragon shattered instantly, but pressed Ian to the bottom at any time. Through the stone, he saw his father hugging with his brother and then disappeared. After climbing out, his brother hugged him and said it was kicked by his father. This brother is like a brother in Ian's life. There are times when he is not understood during the journey, but in the end he is still united, so it is said that the three of the family love each other!

    In D+/ "Interstellar Exploration", Pete went to the moon but found that it was still the same McDonald's as the earth. This one tries to ask similarly poignant questions (Why is everything capitalist? But the film ends up returning to the fantasy of a beautiful blend of tradition and capitalism). At the beginning, I was amazed by the setting, but unfortunately, the use of the rather grand theme and the setting of the play was insufficient, and the changes in the character image were also hurried. Thus making "magic" feel like a mere nostalgia rather than a malleable overflow of some real power. But the local emotional arousal does a good job. Especially the two stares at the relatives and the setting sun in the pores of the ruins at the end, using an ancient metaphor of time in a novel and fresh way. So, might a new outlet for Hollywood's dad story lie in reimagining dad's physical form?

    1. The 20200221 Berlin Film Festival. Premiere. 2. There were two grandmothers sitting on the left and the other, holding their faces and covering their mouths. However, the adults in the audience were crying and laughing, and at the end of the film, thunderous applause was sent to the director. 3. Some people stably export high-quality templates, and some stably export trash, just so culturally confident.
