  Ne Zha 2 2025

  畫面華麗, but:

  - plot is meaningless
  - too many things happening on the screen and it’s very distracting

  - too many northern Chinese culture (親子家族觀) added on the movie 

  Still lots of room to improve

  Only down side is the architecture beauty is not illustrated enough.

The meaning of the movie is very deep and well-illustrated too. It brings out the dilemma over (i) free will, (ii) social synchronisation, and (iii) social contracts, brining out discussion over human’s meanings of existence, human’s good and bad natures, true-self vs hypocrite and socialisation. 

  Expression
  Both shots and music are well edited,…
