      people who continue to live

      This is a movie to help people who continue to live. When people lose an important person forever, they all yearn for the return of the deceased, just like the mirror of Erised in "Harry Potter", which can be seen in the mirror to lost relatives. However, Headmaster Dumbledore told Harry that the magic mirror would be removed, because the virtual image in the mirror made people indulge in fantasy and forget life. The tree in the movie helped Simon and Dawn to get out of their grief, but it also...

      A sprawling home, a life evergreen Film Festival (transfer)

      This is a heartwarming family story. The female director has a good grasp of the delicate relationship between family members. Especially the children with each other, and each child alone with the mother. With a very delicate lens, he pays attention to the inner world of every family member. In the author's opinion, it is not inferior to the films shortlisted in the main competition unit, and even much stronger than some emotionally contrived films. The little child who plays Simone is very...

The novel, titled "Our Dad Lives in a Tree," tells the emotional story of a family after losing their father. After reading the novel, Portucelli decided to put it on the screen, because in the mind of the female director, such a story mixed with reality and fantasy is very suitable for the...

    【Cross-cultural cooperation】

    Although there is already a screenwriter to write the script, for Julie Portucelli, who was suddenly unfortunate, this script is still not shocking enough, nor is it enough to express a kind of sadness in her heart. So she picked up a pen and rewrote the script. Although the overall framework of the original novel has not changed, Julie still added more inspirational elements and fantasies to it. Taylor said: "Jolie's rewritten script...
