The stories is about the children and a man. This movie has a meaning about family and in this movie had funny, sad, mad. I am very loving like this movie. In family hasn't had a fighting and madness. If has a madness, please keep it in your heart and don't tell too other people. Just pray to god what is happening. Calmly go to the family and apologize to other family. Talk about the truth, what happened to you to the family. After that, the family decided want to help. If this happen to all families, the problem must not had in the world about family. Please be carefully about your, family, and the other's.

When you watch this movie..You will not be able to think whats next because you will be so immersed in the movie that you will be unaware of your surroundings. This Movie Has an Enlightment Effects. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. . . . . .... ... . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .

The story is basically the mixture of Chaplin's "The Kid" (1921), Takita's "Departures" (2008) and Korean TV Drama "Our Blues" (2022), especially the similarity of moons vs. Stars. It did reflect some harsh reality of Chinese society. The good intention of writer/director on helping kids' development is recognized. The overall quality can be improved by choosing some middle- or long-distanced shots (instead of close-up ones) and less talkings. Considering this is the first movie, Jiangjiang Liu does have an above-average performance. Looking forward to watching Jiangjiang Liu's next movie soon.

I have been exactly craving for movie like this for a long time. Koreans are the experts in ellicit these kinds of emotions in me like what this films did. Surpisingly this time it comes from china. The child actress and the lead actor chemistry was fantastic. Wu Xiao wen is so adorable she practically lived the role. I Could watch this film again and again just for her acting alone. The first scene itself who hasnt been 30 seconds since the film started has hit me hard and made me tear up. Since then so many scenes had drenched me in tears. Slice of life drama on dealing with departed loved ones. I love how the film ended and the post credits sond and scene was super adorable. I could keep on Praising this movie. This is is defintely a must watch for all ages. If somone knew where i could find the song that played at the end would be much appreciated.

I don't know much about cinematography in Far East, because I've only seen a handful of movies from there. Being from Europe, I can't really distinct between movies from China, South Korea, or Japan. I think it's in Japanese movies, where men always shout even in normal conversation -at least it sounds so in my ears.. but then, I don't speak Japanese :-) Lightning up the stars is quite emotional and entertaining movie. Story is simple and realistic, without pretending to be melodramatic. And so is the cast. They are not just "acting".. they are "real" and very good at that -I hope, you understand what I mean. To keep it short: If you're in the mood for "light drama", watch this movie before Hollywood decides to do a remake (and makes a cr*p out of it).

It shows the trivial life of the local people in Wuhan, full of fireworks. The screen music props and actors are excellent, and the story is slightly poor. This little actor from Chengdu is really excellent. There are many tears that make people happy and cry. Many of the life scenes are from Wuhan. I have been to Wuhan several times and I have a deep feeling. Hot and dry noodles are too dry for outsiders to eat. Ha ha. There are many local funeral customs that we do not understand. It was very good. All kinds of marriage relationships and progress are very real. Sometimes I suddenly fear that one day I will be old, sick and dying. How will I spend the last days of my life? That may be the darkest moment of life. There is no longer any hope for the future, no longer want to do anything, and there is no other possibility in life. Perhaps he is still suffering from illness, or he may die alone.

My first Chinese movie which I enjoyed to watch and whose genere is not an Action. Usually I prefer to watch Chinese/ Hongkong movies which have "Action" genere and even in that Sir Jackie Chan or Sammo hung or Doonie yen must be in that movie. I watched this movie with intention of doing timepass because of good ratings. BUT later while and after watching, it was "worth to watch atleast once in a life". All the actors have good acting skills, Director must be very Lucky while making this movie. Story was not boring at all, so just a little bit of regret that it should have been more than 2 hours of movie instead of around 1:36 hours.
