Perhaps influenced by Witherspoon's previous films, it always feels a little out of place when he wears American women's clothing at the beginning of the last century. This elephant is indeed very smart, and it makes people feel that it is not the result of human domestication, but a real intelligent life. My favorite picture is the scene of a steam locomotive blowing smoke in the moonlight. The thick smoke is dyed pale silver by the moonlight, which makes people feel a little unreal.
The film's content and production seem somewhat uneventful, with no obvious flaws and illogicalities, but nothing spectacularly stunning.
