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 death. The filmmaker Jiangjiang Liu who made his first directorial debut and writer with co-writer Min Yu who wrote the screenplay for this story about, a funeral director accidentally crosses paths with a little 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.

Maybe this is not a perfect movie, there maybe some flaws. But i dont care. This movie made me cry and it's not easy to make me cry watching a movie. And that's the main positive of this movie. The emotional moments work amazingly. I really don't understand how do they make kids act like this. The girl who played the small kid in this movie is just breathtaking. It's only because she delivers such an exceptional performance, the movie works so nicely. All the other actors including the main lead delivers a good performance. The camera work was good. All the other departments did a good job. The writing was nice. A simple story and a simple writing backed up by an extraordinary performance. I seriously didn't care about the flaws in the movie because the little girl in this movie did not allow me to turn my attention away from her. Definitely a must watch if you like emotional dramas, because this one really makes you emotional.

A monstrous performance from an unlikely actor, Zhu Yilong who in my knowledge was always seen as a fair faced boy band sort of actor. A tear jerker with just the right amount of punch is often a staple of movies of this sort, but the movie is definitely more than that. Like the title in Chinese suggest, significant events in a lifetime, the movie is able to humanize a lot of these moments into a single storyline, and somehow combining everything to make it feel organic. Marriage, death, parenthood are all themes of this little story about a funeral director whose character development and growth seems both organic and significant.

The story is basically the mixture of Chaplin's "The Kid" (1921), Takita's "Departures" (2008) and Korean TV Drama "Our Blues" (2022), especially the similarity of moons vs. Stars. It did reflect some harsh reality of Chinese society. The good intention of writer/director on helping kids' development is recognized. The overall quality can be improved by choosing some middle- or long-distanced shots (instead of close-up ones) and less talkings. Considering this is the first movie, Jiangjiang Liu does have an above-average performance. Looking forward to watching Jiangjiang Liu's next movie soon.

My first Chinese movie which I enjoyed to watch and whose genere is not an Action. Usually I prefer to watch Chinese/ Hongkong movies which have "Action" genere and even in that Sir Jackie Chan or Sammo hung or Doonie yen must be in that movie. I watched this movie with intention of doing timepass because of good ratings. BUT later while and after watching, it was "worth to watch atleast once in a life". All the actors have good acting skills, Director must be very Lucky while making this movie. Story was not boring at all, so just a little bit of regret that it should have been more than 2 hours of movie instead of around 1:36 hours.
