It is a movie with a motif of movies. Yet it goes further than "Cinema Paradiso" (Dir: Giuseppe Tornatore, 1989) and "Dreamers" (Dir: Bernardo Bertolucci, 2003) in that (1) the key characters do not merely like watching movies but like acting as well; (2) the story is told in a restricted narrative, and (3) hence suspense is built right at the beginning. The film features narrative in narrative and director Xiao Jiang (¤p¦¿) manipulates the revelation of the suspense (what happened to Ning) well in a stable and moderate pace that keeps the audience involved throughout the screen. The film makes references to a number of internationally famed directors and movies with some footage adopted in it. Xiao Jiang also uses visual parallel in the sequence of chasing trains to portray the 2 children's deep interest in acting. Occasional back shots are used in a few childhood sequences. The weakest aspect in the diegesis is the gap of Ning's life after she leaves her parents. The Hong Kong title of the film (¹Ú¼vµ£¦~) is more denotative the childhood memories in the diegesis than its original title in the mainland (‰m¼v©¹¨Æ). The 2 children actors stage very well. Nevertheless, it is far less touching than "Cinema Paradiso".
