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.
But this movie! THIS ONE! The camera lens is kind of slice-of-life style, occasionally beautiful piano notes. He completely dominated every scene, every scene of him is a highlight. Crazy acting, in a realistic and humane movie. He is cute and funny, I love scenes of him with grandmother.
The sudden appearance and departure of the girl he likes, the realistic and cruel selfishness of his parents, I like those details a lot.
Just feel that director/screen could have filled out the story better, but Jackson Yee's acting deserves extra points. I wish him all the highest awards not only Chinese awards but also international awards. This level of acting is really top-notch, no age limit.
Seriously, this movie needs to be promoted internationally, I want to know more about process of making this movie.

- Trivia"Big World" is China's first film to significantly promote the cause of accessibility. Following its release, the production team and public institutions launched the "Moss Flower Pact" on January 1, 2025, aimed at helping individuals with impairments participate equally in social life.
The pact calls for employers, educational institutions, interest groups, and public service providers to offer fair opportunities for employment and education to people with impairments. Organizations or individuals that join commit to removing barriers to work, learning, and living, thereby supporting the advancement of accessibility.
Displaying or using the Moss Flower symbol signifies a voluntary commitment to this initiative. The pact seeks to raise awareness about individuals with impairments and encourage collective efforts to create an accessible environment. Its implementation will enhance social participation for people with disabilities and promote equity and progress in China.

Liu Chunhe: You are the star up in the clouds, I am the weirdo who traverses the river of lonliness. The executioner on the bridge, is killing dreams. The gunshots from the embankment, killed all desires.
