But take it slowly, it’s better not to watch if you don’t have patience

The original name of the movie is An Invisible Sign, which is translated as "My Invisible Sign" in mainland China. I think it is better to translate it literally as "Invisible Sign Only Belongs to Me". The entire film is told a drowsy story from the beginning to the ten minutes before the end. Except for some Qiao Duan's dialogues with a sense of humor, the rest of the content is basically a boring experience. There is no invisible means, no suspense of symbols, let alone anything to do with "mine". Starring Jessica Abla, if you are a fan of "Fantastic Four", don't be surprised when Jessica appears, her appearance will make you vaguely think of the common features of unknown actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas The style, unlike Hong Kong dramas, is that her costumes are quite cartoony. In the end, this is a movie that has nothing to do with disc wars, action, sci-fi, suspense, and high-IQ games. The 96-minute movie is more like watching a box of paper clips being wrapped one by one and not knowing when it will end. Anxiety (you know how your parents react if you played this trick as a kid), so if you're impatient, it's better not to watch.

However, I like this movie.

I like the angles and transitions of the film. At the beginning of the movie, it seems to be saying that the whole life can be explained by numbers, when the wind passes through the leaves, when the jumps exert force on the ground, when the water flows naturally, when the sun shines on the newspaper, ..., numbers It exists like an elves, but people are used to it. Even when bad luck comes, there are no dark clouds or heavy rain. Just a narration: "Suddenly one day, my mother thinks 3 is a too big number" to complete the conversion. When the protagonist, Mona Grey, was kicked out of the house and wasted and helplessly passing the time, the narrator said, "I finally understand what infinity feels like, and how long it is." Numbers and mathematics were once Monagrey's favorites. Numbers and mathematics used to be so safe and perfect, but at this moment they couldn't help her out of the predicament... Monagrey didn't know how to deal with her loneliness and loss. Inadvertent knocking room to find self.

I like the dialogue between the nature teacher and Mona Grey. This is the most humorous line design in the entire movie. There is such a lovely language exchange in the sentimental plot, which always makes people feel that they can see the back of hope. Mona Grey has been avoiding all the life she doesn't know how to face, even if this life can bring new life experiences, she still chooses to avoid it. Perhaps in her heart, her father's health was above everything else, and she was even willing to sacrifice her own happiness for it. Is this a normal state? From the perspective of tragic literature, I am afraid yes, but from the perspective of love of life, I think it is questionable. Everyone has their own independent life and choices. If they lose themselves, what can they do to love their family? Many years ago, there was a Taiwanese saying, "Don't love in vacant space". Many people think that love is a kind of emotion, but in fact, emotion is only a part of love. As a digression, when the nature teacher proposed to help Mona Grey find the decimal point that was lost outside the classroom, it really made people laugh out loud.

I like the whole soundtrack. Music is like the breath of a movie, throughout but only at the beginning and end. How long is our life, but the distance between breaths, music is the air of life, Beethoven said in his treatise that "music is the highest revelation". Music is an indescribable beauty, every note is like every heartbeat waiting to be heard, the shining moment is like the starlight illuminating the night sky, the low sound is like the suppressed thunder before the storm, maybe Even when you and I are alone, our hearts may be singing: I wanna sunshine.

I liked the story at the beginning, about the king, the castle and the baker. Cartoons take us back to our childhood. Even the simplest stories can satisfy the purest heart. If you look closely at the eyes of children, the depth and sparkle will never be seen again in adulthood.

If you watch this movie for the first time, you may forget the cartoon at the end of the film like me, but it's okay, let's watch it again - quietly, holding your water glass, in front of your screen, Watching your movie, thinking about your story, maybe you suddenly feel your invisible symbol, just like the piano sound that disappeared many years ago

  • Mona Gray: [narrating about her student] Lisa wore the truth like a crown. She made jewelry out of saline and plastic. And all I had was the word "nothing."

  • Mom: Let's go out for breakfast for a change, like a family.

    Mona Gray: But we *are* a family.

    Mom: Like another family, then.
