Believe, Polar Express, Utopia

I came to this movie with great expectations and unfamiliarity, please forgive my ignorance. But perhaps more because there is not so much background knowledge and original impressions, so to me, the movie looks easier.
First of all, I was very moved by the family affection during the war. The scene of farewell at the train station still fresh in my memory. I can’t forget the tearful eyes of my mother and the subtle expressions of the four children.
Secondly, it reminds me of "The Polar Express". What the two films have in common is that they are both about a fairy tale that I believe in, about a world that is unique to children and cannot be understood by adults. It's incredible, but who can absolutely say it doesn't exist. Let us believe in the innocence of children, do not rudely stifle their imagination and curiosity.
In addition, an idiom came to mind, "Nan Ke Yi Meng". Decades and unbelievable things in Narnia, just seconds outside the closet. Everything is the same, but the heart is not the same. Everything in Narnia, in our real world, in our adult logic, may not exist, may not make sense, and may be too complete in this age accustomed to pity and fear. But that's why he deserves our expectations. Isn't this our ideal utopia?
So no matter what the production, sound effects, design, plot, character performance, or whatever the film is not satisfactory, we should not be too demanding. A work cannot be perfect, as long as it has what we need, or gives us some inspiration, it is enough.

    What a fairy tale, the music is also beautiful. I liked it very much when I was in elementary school, and then I would take it out every Christmas.

    The four are the four stages to go through in the growth process: the naive, the hesitant, the proud, the weak; the small animal version of the New Testament; true forgiveness is beyond our understanding, and only God can do it; Tilda Swinton does It makes people feel cold; what should I do if James McAvoy plays sheep so cute?
