It’s one of those one of truly. As people getting used to magnificent film with great animation and visual. Something like liulai is a stand out, a refresher and something that pull people back into the old days. And having a great laugh. Maybe our audience is getting tired of all these effect and just need something that’s simple and hit the spot.

Maybe it’s time we get back to the basic with some new generation form

I watched a few minutes of a pirated copy on YouTube, where the pirate simply pointed his phone at the screen without even bothering to get a decent microphone set up. The audience was raucous, it reminded me of me, watching the people who were watching a local puppet performance in Guangxi 20 years ago.

I understand the gravity of all this. But as a film major myself, I couldn't bring myself to watch it. This is purely from an artistic point of view: indie and low budget doesn't mean bad. Look at Obsession. I really hope the next news I hear about Chinese cinema is something genuinely innovative and ingenious rather than another internet joke.

Fanfare for the common (hu)man.

Many fake glowing reviews trick audiences into expecting a masterpiece, only to leave them disappointed. But this film is the opposite: curious viewers go in with low expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
