The little girl Amy and her mother moved to a new city to live, but the unfamiliar environment did not make her open her mouth, still silent and quiet in her own world. One day, however, the male neighbor discovered that Amy could communicate with people with her singing, which was a very surprising discovery. In order to enter Amy's world, everyone began to sing loudly, but Amy was always ill. Until one day she realized that Amy blamed her father's death on herself. It turned out that Amy's father was a rock singer, and a few years ago, at an open-air performance in the torrential rain, Amy went on stage to deliver flowers, her father was electrocuted, and Amy has been living in a world of self-blame. It was very sad that everyone understood this reason, because this is not the truth of the facts.

How many steps does it take to create a Western-style warm story?
I believe that if you watch this film, there will be an answer. In fact, it is not difficult to make a Western movie, especially a family movie. If we encounter such a situation in reality, basically there will be no such a very harmonious atmosphere in the film. Therefore, in other people's worlds, we will always see a lot of different things. Sometimes, we tend to see these things as appendages of our lifelong pursuits, but if you really know the process, you may not think so.
Back to the point, let's talk about this movie. All family movies always end at the end, so that the story that everyone was worried about before does not happen according to the logic it should. Instead, it will be forced to end with a very pleasing, mythical ending. This film is no exception, and one can imagine that if it were in the real world, it would certainly not happen randomly like the story in the film. It is precisely because it is not available in reality that it will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the film.
Amy is a flawed child. First of all, such a setting is very pleasing to some extent. Because we are always accustomed to digging out the cause of this situation from a person who is not very social. There is no doubt that this is also the clue that drives the continuous development of this film, and it is the main clue. If Amy had been a normal child in the first place, the intention to look at it would have been reduced to zero. Of course, there will also be a conclusion, no energy.
A child with mere defects will certainly not satisfy the appetite of the public. So we want to create a flawed family for this child. Such a single parent setting can often inspire empathy. In this way, people's mood will continue to fluctuate with the ups and downs of the plot. The director's purpose at this level has been achieved.
It may be that the audience will still not go too far in such a setting. Therefore, the director has gone deeper in the setting to win more attention and sympathy. Imagine what it would be like if Wang Feng left and Ziyi was alone with her daughter to make a living. This will always make more people move. Okay, that's it.
A little girl with a story will never lack too many expectant eyes around her. And these eyes will always be full of kindness and care. Such a probability is like meeting a peer when moving, when in fact, when moving, you really meet a peer. A frustrated rock singer inadvertently opens the little girl's heart with music. So everything suddenly opened up.
If the matter of resolving the doubts in people's minds were changed to other forms, we would not accept it so easily. But singing is universal in a sense. This form that runs through the whole film largely makes all the irrelevant places perfectly combined. At this time, we have to admire the director, you can use this way, so that the audience does not look so abrupt throughout the film.
After opening the atrium, if something else happens, it must be a pile of trivial things in life. Because every stranger needs to re-recognize each other at the last moment. Therefore, there will be very irrational quarrels between each other in trivial matters. A harsh neighbor, an alcoholic dad, and a good friend. Here it is necessary to reflect the harmlessness of people and animals. So be sure to appear in this role. In such a big environment, we can think of what kind of situation the little girl needs to face every day.
The more difficult the conditions, the more it will arouse people's attention, in such a mixed area of dragons and snakes, if a little girl can grow up perfectly, it will be an opportunity for anyone to witness a miracle. And all the people in this environment, under the director's deployment, are very lucky to participate in the whole process. Therefore, there is the last scene, the birth of the family.
And in the end, it must be the demystifying mode. A cloud that had long haunted the little girl had made her what she was now. But in the end, if this mystery is revealed, people will still realize that such entanglements should not exist in the first place. Of course, if you set this as an adult, you will lose a lot of fun, and it will also make the audience feel very interested. But when this person is set up as a harmless child, especially a little girl, our compassion cannot help but overflow.
In fact, the story is very simple, a little girl because of one thing is not solved. And put himself into a sad situation, and later with the help of people, he finally got out of the predicament. Everyone rejoiced. If this is a domestic story film, it will not cause so much discussion, but this film is an Australian film. So the high score makes sense. 1997 was a magical world, and equally amazing is that many years later we can pursue a different aesthetic and a unique taste for movies.
