Don't miss this movie

This film is a masterpiece that is easily overlooked. The hero is a dwarf, and his physical defects make him reluctant to get along with others, and he closes himself in a space. When he tried to enter the lives of others, he was misunderstood and shocked. He was approaching happiness and suddenly happiness left you again. This feeling was like waking up from a good dream, and felt sad.

Everyone is chasing happiness, but happiness is fleeting, and will slip away inadvertently, but it is like riding a car. Maybe the next stop is happiness. If you miss it, there are opportunities, as long as you wait actively. Don't get out of the car, I believe you will always be happy.

    One more star for the train and the rails

    When we see a person standing in the highest position he can stand - smoking a cigarette indifferently on the roof, we see a sadness that has accumulated in his heart as silent as gold. When I saw two people in the cleanest place they could be, smoking a cigarette together by the railway, I suddenly remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words to describe loneliness: the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I only I think they are noisy. However, the mini train heading for "Soul Station" through the cold tunnel brings a positive and warm interpretation to this cold sentence. Peter Dinklage's height obviously does not limit his charm and talent, and there are historical reasons why this small actor can grow into a benchmark in the industry. He is good at conquering the audience with his restrained and delicate performances. It is precisely because of the particularity of his figure that the film establishes a connection between adults and children, and makes this realistic work develop into an adult fairy tale. The three humanoid trains finally walk side by side in the paradox of ultimate loneliness and inevitable communication with people.
