Eternal Spring

Eternal Spring is a unique masterpiece. Through a skillful combination of animation, real-life footage, and heart-breaking interviews, the film manages to make the story and its characters come to life on the screen and in the heart of the spectators. Looking at the beautiful drawings as a spectator, one reconnects to his or her own childhood memories and builds a deeper connection with the people who had to and ARE STILL GOING through this brutal perspecution. Those grim memories become even more real through animated characters' lives, than real-life pictures and real news coverage.

As a precious takeaway, the movie reminded me that real heroes are those whose strength is kind, pure, and transcending the self. And that strength is most of the time is not seen on the surface, but can make far-reaching changes. Carrying this beautiful message with me through the day helps me to be stronger in my kindness, tolerance, and in my care for the ones around me.

A huge thank-you to the creators of the movie!

I remembered I fist saw this movie online in May. Form the beginning till the end, tears keep rolling down on my face. I didn't know how much those heroes and their families suffered behind the scenes. But I did know that this story is only one corner of the whole picture which happened crucial in China.

In the world, they are normal persons. But they have created a brilliant poem with lives and blood. And this poem will be lasted forever!

I am curious, how come a person is willing to sacrifice his (her) life for others? The other people has nothing related to him (her). After I have seen this movie, I started to think of many things I have never considered. What is the meaning of life? What is the value to make living?

Don't miss it! Truth and integrity give us power!

I was so touched and shocked by this movie. In China,the Evil CCP persecated so many people,especially Falun Dafa practioners,only falu dafa paractioner can stand up and insist on their faith,even though so difficult,but they never give up.very good movie!recommend!

The Mandarin and English language animated documentary "Eternal Spring" has been selected as Canada's best international feature film entry for the upcoming 95th Oscar Awards. It was released worldwide. Combining present-day footage with 3D animation inspired by Daxiong's art, Eternal Spring retraces the event on its 20th anniversary, and brings to life an unprecedented story of defiance told through harrowing eyewitness accounts of persecution and incredible artistry. Eternal Spring is an exhilarating tale of determination to speak up for political and religious freedoms, no matter the cost.

This film to hand-drawn to 3D animation techniques to restore the real events of the year. It's very moving because it's real. You can see that the crew has made a lot of efforts to restore the real events. Many people were interviewed and many places were visited. The music also fits well.

I am also not surprised that people with a Chinese Communist government background leave messages to confuse people. In fact they hadn't even seen the film. They don't even know what the film is about. They just seem to be purposely falsely promoting it with a mission and stereotypes. To make people think that Falun Gong is bad is their purpose. And they don't care about the truth.

Eternal Spring is a beautiful film with incredible visuals and animation. It's very eye-opening on what those in China face when they dare to stand up to the government. For those who assume this is propaganda, I would encourage you to actually watch the film because these are true stories that everyday people experience in real life. The film will bring tears to your eyes and inspire you to stand up for what you believe is right.

For a documentary, it's very unique as all the scenes they don't have footage for are done in a really unique style of comic book art. The film also plays like a real like heist story keeping you on the edge of your seat.
