It's more of an insight from a novel than a movie

I feel that the movie is going a bit fast, and it is difficult for people who haven’t read the original book to keep up with the progress of the movie. It may be that the plot in the original book is already very rich, and the 2-hour movie can’t be explained one by one. I like the little boy in the movie, and it really hurts to see the scene where his tears are swirling in his eyes. When I read the novel again, when Oliver was brought home for the first time by Tiplanglo, I was so happy for the little boy that I even began to wonder if he would become a writer in the future. As the story went on, I fell into utter sadness, worrying about Oliver all the time, but luckily it wasn't too bad.
