As a dream work of director Tian Xiaopeng who has sharpened his sword for seven years, I can really feel the intention of the main creative team and see many differences from other domestic animation films. The most intuitive impression of the film is that the pictures and art are very amazing, the modeling and the processing of light and shadow are very delicate, and the unique use of particle effects shows the charm of ink painting. The material selection of the story is quite surprising. It jumps out of many legends that other domestic animations like to shoot. Instead, it chooses to focus on the impact of depression patients and family restructuring on children, full of humanistic care. The film follows the protagonist's perspective throughout the whole process, and a large amount of ink is used to outline his inner world. The lens of the real world is low saturation and full of depression, which is in sharp contrast with the colorful fantasy world. This treatment can make the audience better understand the protagonist's feelings. The narrative structure of the film is very novel. It is suspended at the beginning. It does not explain the complete story at the first time. It directly cuts into the fantasy world of the protagonist. It allows people to integrate into the inner world of the protagonist by means of virtual and real reference. Finally, it recycles the foreshadow and completely explains the story. Such treatment can make the film more attractive to the audience and make the ending more expressive. Regrettably, there are also some places where the film is still in progress, and the rhythm of some places is not very good. However, I am very satisfied overall. The director has great ambition. After the success of the last film "The Return of the Great Sage", he did not stop, but chose to challenge the more difficult aerial handling of the real story. Although he still did not completely get rid of some of the problems in the plot promotion of the previous work, he still showed the audience more possibilities of Chinese animated films. With this excellent picture, I still couldn't put it down. I hope that there will be more domestic animation works in the future.
