Lighting Up the Stars

Did not know what to expect as I began watching Lighting Up the stars on my delta flight. But needless to say I am a sucker for well constructed stories about fathers and their children. Everyone played their role so well, especially the little girl. Will rip your heart open but loved the ending. Hat tip to all involved.

A real tear jerker that uses all the bells and whistles to make you feel. Great cinematography in this drama and great acting maybe the best from Zhu Yilong and little Yang Enyou. Nice to see good cinema being made in the mainland that isn't either a period piece or a poorly constructed blockbuster.

Watched on long haul flight while trying to get to sleep. Sleep forgotten as this simple basic movie gradually captured me. Absolutely loved it...simple heart warming story. Highly recommend even with the subtitles.

Very good films,I like

I have watched many movies in my life, but I have rarely felt so connected to the cast before in this film called LIGHTING UP THE STARS. I identified with the lead male actor Yilong Zhu who played the main character Mo Sanmei. I like the chemistry between Sanmei's father played by Jingmin Luo affectionately called old man by the young actress Enyou Yang who plays Wu Xiaowen the heartbreaker. I am very surprised that not enough people have written reviews for this great filmmaking experience that tells the story about the beautiful experiences about life and the death. The filmmaker Jiangjiang Liu who made his first directorial debut and writer with co-writer Min Yu who this story about, a funeral director accidentally crosses paths with a girl which brings about an unexpected change in his attitude towards life. I really loved watching this film and I love the music, especially the duet with Yilong Zhu and Enyou Yang. I am not surprised that these extremely talented, performers can sing professionally as singers. I don't speak mandarin, but I really enjoyed the duet at the end of the movie. I never cried so many times while watching a film before, it was a real tear jerker of a film to watch. I don't like watching international produced films in English dubbing. I like hearing the original voices of the performers. I would really recommend this film for anyone to watch and listen to the musical composition and film scores in the soundtrack. I like the lessons that were told throughout the storyline in this excellent film production.

vừa khóc vừa cười. rất hay nên xem

definitely worth watching this movie, i was so touched

So many messages in this movie and how different points of view about seeing life can converge and co-exist in to making life bearable and even wonderful under such hostile conditions. Suprebly acted to the point of making you cry for different reasons within the same movie. This has "Oscars" Written all over.

the movie touchs me from the beginning to the end, the star of the movie is the little girl, she makes me burst into tears many times during the time. Must watch everyone

The movie wss very touching ...MUSTWATCH! I fell in love with the plot and characters, it touches my heart.
