more charming than harry potter

No peculiar magic,
no huge world setting ,
no many protagonists, the
shimmering city, like a gentle wind blowing, makes me relaxed and happy.
Yes, the excellent performance of the two children, the girl in the red dress embellished the
old tones of the whole play, the retro things, and the DIY gramophone, I think they are more interesting to me than Harry Potter.

Although the film has many foreshadowings that have not been explained, I have been satisfied and only look forward to the second and third parts... I believe that leaving the world of Shimmering City, there must be more mutations and problems waiting for them.

    An English unsubtitled version watched in a movie theater. The original intention was just to pass the time with a cup of giant coke. Then it turns out that Coke is worth more than movie tickets.

    I really like the closed and dark feeling in the movie, which makes me want to read the original novel.

City of Ember quotes

  • Loris Harrow: [narrating] Lina and Doon tied their hope to a rock and tossed it down toward the city. The rock could've ended up on a roof. Or kicked into a gutter. But fate ran another course. And the message found its way. Now the path was clear for all. All of us who kept the flame of Ember burning, through the darkness, so that we could live again on the earth, in the air and the light.

  • Loris Harrow: [to Doon] Builders were wise when they said, "If you have proof, you have to pursue it!" There's more to a bottle cap than keeping liquid from leaking out of glass!
