The joy of the circus

I came to watch this movie when I just finished reading the original book. The male lead... his face is a bit more lively than that of a vampire, but it gives people the same expression from the beginning to the end, a bitter melon face; the heroine... Linna is much older! Not beautiful enough! There is no aura that can communicate with animals.

Compared with the original book, the movie is too inferior, and the flaw lies in the script and actors! The setting of the script assumes that the audience has read the original work, and there are too many deletions. The circus leader and August are combined into one person, and they become a junior high-ranking. August is not very sad. About this aspect The bricks are shot again.

Except for the script and the actors... the rest is actually pretty good (unfortunately, even if the rest is good, the foundation of the bad movie has already been laid). There are two things in the movie that touched me:
1. The joyful atmosphere of the circus performance is very real. The circus starts, the music starts, the ice cream lemonade, and the jugglers give their exaggerated performances. The bright smiles of the children are just like The greenhouse is a happy paradise on earth; however, at the same time, we have seen the hard work and bitterness of the artists and workers - if the ticket money is not enough to feed everyone, someone will be thrown away, the performance is in danger at any time, animals are abused... Let me see the circus The group is just one part of sweat and tears in exchange for another part of happiness, and at the same time in exchange for the money that can survive. When the veil of joy was lifted, only such a brutal naked deal remained.

My heart has always been full of yearning for the life of a wandering artist. The wandering life is the happiest and the most bitter. The movie seems to imply that the Lin Ling circus is big and formal, and they live happily there, so I am curious, is there really such a circus full of joy?

2. Jacob's life without regrets: He jumped on the train, met the lover of his life, and lived happily with his lover and animals. He said that life should be like this. This makes me yearn for living in the city from 9 to 6. I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to jump on the train of life, start a vigorous journey, and have an extraordinary life from now on?
