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.
