After many years, I finally revisited this movie that had a huge impact on me as a child. Even as I get older, it still has the same impact on me as before.
Visually speaking, the film has an excellent visual impact on the audience. Weird, absurd, abstract, these elements make up all the parts of the heroine's dream, which is really impressive. It really creates something that you can't even imagine in reality. That alone deserves three stars.
In terms of the structure of the story and the conception of the story, it is similar to "Alice in Wonderland". Although the core of its story is not as deep as that of "Alice in Wonderland", the idea of a child finding his true self through the dream world is also commendable.
Then there is the often criticized aspect of the plot. Although there are many unreasonable places in the plot of this movie, considering that it is a girl's dream, assuming it is really a world created by a girl, then those unreasonable plots, those unreasonable places Also figured it out.
What I regret is that this worldview in the mirror can obviously continue to be excavated, but no sequels have been produced for many years. When I revisited it, I actually felt the impact of the HP series on me, as if I could not extricate myself from entering a new world. I'm really looking forward to the new story of the world in the mirror.
Last but not least, Helena's dark princess outfit won my heart!
