The same history from different perspectives becomes a completely different version. . . Lei is best at family themes. Although there is not much writing, the story between the yellow and white girl and his two "fathers" has become the highlight of the film. In contrast, Gardner's line seems blunt and far-fetched. Especially the final redemption is meaningless. The quality of the PS Blu-ray repair disc is excellent, the gouache painting in the title and the silhouette of the distant scene in the film are extremely beautiful
