It could have been better

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2020)

The magic of the film is strong. Such a film, which uses supernatural power as the key narrative factor of the film, is destined to make the answer of many profound problems found through magic, not by human. From the perspective of supernatural forces, it is actually a simple redemption story. However, the director has extended too many themes, and there are no foucs among the several themes, which makes the film's original meaning of "redemption" chaotic and obscure. And the way of elaboration is a bit more contorted and contrived. The procrastinating rhythm and overly complex theme make the character, scene design, and macro structure of the film very superficial, rather than serving the theme. Therefore, although the topics discussed in the film are diverse and difficult, the deterrent effect on the audience is obviously insufficient.
