This year, the entire film industry has been astonished by Ne Zha 2: Devil Child Stirs the Sea. With its exquisite visuals, captivating plot, and humorous dialogues, some say every frame offers ultimate enjoyment. A true five-star recommendation - super thrilling! Everyone should definitely watch it when free!
After watching, I wanted to write a review. For me, the most touching aspect wasn't Ne Zha, but Shen Gongbao.
Traditionally seen as a villain, Ne Zha 2 gives Shen Gongbao more depth. He's not just a "bad guy" but represents ordinary people striving to break class barriers yet remaining trapped.
The most moving moment was when Shen Gongbao, upon learning his father was injured by Ne Zha, didn't lose rationality. He analyzed the real enemy and saved Ne Zha's parents out of conscience. Shen Gongbao became key to the final victory. Without his humanity, the truth would never have been revealed.
If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it!
