(City of Lost Children) is a masterpiece of the Frenchman's ingenuity. It inherits the darkest part of European fairy tales, dwarfs, long faces, and many weird people (I admire the director, where did you find it? (So ​​many special actors), a lonely alien castle on the sea, a sci-fi comedy that steals dreams is in full swing, the little boy who is constantly eating in the film is the cutest, with the most innocent pair of clear eyes , Which reflects the evil nature of mad scientists. People

with dreams are happy, and those without dreams are the most prone to ageing, but the stolen dream is someone else’s after all, just like the stolen happiness will eventually be shattered. Why do some people Never feel happy. I believe he has no dream ability, because he can’t believe the utopia in the dream. We have to convince ourselves that there must be heaven there. If you have a dream, you will not fall into the troubles of reality anymore. Self-extrication - Although dreams can't help you solve these problems, they can at least make them no longer important. Just like knowing that nihilism does not bring any material or practical benefits, we still choose here and still choose the other party. This is the pillar, this is the strength, just like the little boy who is weak, but he can be safe and right. It is because he has the power of dreams, so he is fearless.


The works full of childlike innocence are the most flattering, because we are all easily captured by the weak and easily moved by simplicity.

In fairy tales, all the results are not overwhelming. They can always escape all dangers and safe, so in reality, can we escape our inner enemies, can we overcome weakness and hypocrisy, and can we break free from spiritual shackles?

    I am really against fantasy movies, because the absurdity of the plot and characters makes me feel that watching movies is a very tiring thing.
