The casting is spot-on

Yang Lina, who was born in 1972 in Jilin, China, kicked off her documentary career in 1996. Her notable works include Leap of Faith, which competed for the Golden Goblet Award at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival, and Spring Tide, which was also in the running for the Golden Goblet at the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival and won Best Director at the Changchun Film Festival.In her impressive feature film Big World, filmmaker Yang Lina tells the story of a determined young man with a disability and the crucial events happening in his life during one summer. Chunhu, who has cerebral palsy, assists with his grandmother's stage play while also getting ready for a college exam. His grandmother is eager to help him connect with the world, but his mother is constantly worried about him.The casting is spot-on for this kind of film: Jackson Yee, known for his role in Better Days, takes on the role of Chunhu, Diana Lin from The Farewell plays the grandmother, and Jiang Qinqin from Dwelling by the West Lake portrays the mother. While some may criticize Jackson Yee for playing a character with cerebral palsy, he really nailed it! The film is packed with emotion and has a few surprising twists, though I did feel it could have been about 30 minutes shorter. I bet you will cry... rare are those who didn't.The fantastic music by Kobayashi Takeshi really enhances the overall experience, and they even managed to weave in a brief love story! I liked it - a lot!

Treads a fine line, but successfully

Must be awful to feel and know that you're a burden, that your own parents wish they didn't have you. To be trapped by both your body and the people you have to depend on.Clearly an awareness campaign type of movie and I resisted it for a while, but it got to me. It got to me big time with a few scenes that were well done. Or maybe just effective, which amounts to very much the same thing.Jackson Yee does amazing work, there's no trace of the leading man here, he is completely lost in this role and it must be hard work and humbling getting to that level of disability.I loved some scenes, some I found cliche or manipulative. But then again it's a melodrama so that's the whole point, to make us empathize. I really didn't see the point of the girl and I knew no good would come of it, unless the movie went into some very unrealistic territory. But I guess there's a girl like that in every boy's life. I thought the mom got off too easily and she absolutely had no excuse, not even her own absent mother. The speech at the mayor's office or wherever it was felt a little unnatural and rehearsed, not something he would say on the spot.I liked the grandma. She's the best grandma anybody could wish for.
