This is a mystery, not children's movie.
This is a MYSTERY, and not a children's film. I would definitely not show this film to a small child. It was probably misclassified because the little boy gave an excellent performance. Four of us watched the film together and we all tried to guess the ending. We didn't succeed until the very last minute. Although it was a cop story, it was not violent. Probably if you like MURDER SHE WROTE, you would enjoy this film.
The actors were good, but sometimes it seemed like the actresses were over directed and not real women. There were a couple of serious moments when we broke into spontaneous laughter. The subtitles could have been better. The sheep mentioned throughout the film was a goat. When there were closeups of Chinese documents, there should have been subtitles. Overall, it was a good story and one I will watch again.
a very speical story
This is a very special story in related with the adult's bad activity ---child selling. The little boy loved his dad, the police find out he may be one of the missing children and send him to his real parents. He did not feel the Love from the family and escape to his dad. But, his real biology parents are the couple who sale the children for profit.
So, between all 3 household, he does not have any feel with his biology parents because they are criminal; the other rich family lost their child but lack of love and passion. The dad is a poor single man who spend all his fund to buy a child, he treat the little boy with love. At the end of the film, little boy escaped from the police again and search his dad.
Beautiful cinematography work, the actress Miaomiao win the best performance award of the 2012 San Diego International Children's film festival. I also like the Dad's performance. An excellent chinese movie to watch. The English subtitle works fine for us.
