    Mind blowing act

    I have to say it , Jackson did an amazing job. Nailed the character. The movie itself is so good. Not like every other movies with so much things going but just a simple yet wonderful movie with talented cast . The guy deserves so many awards. I might sound crazy but this movie and the role deserves oscar. You would feel the raw emotions in this movie. The movie itself is underrated now but I do hope more people recognise this movie and the talented acts soon.

    Jackson's another movie better days is a masterpiece too. Such a talented actor yet very underrated. Hope to see him shine more in the near future.

    Treads a fine line, but successfully

    Must be awful to feel and know that you're a burden, that your own parents wish they didn't have you. To be trapped by both your body and the people you have to depend on.

    Clearly an awareness campaign type of movie and I resisted it for a while, but it got to me. It got to me big time with a few scenes that were well done. Or maybe just effective, which amounts to very much the same thing.

    Jackson Yee does amazing work, there's no trace of the leading man here, he is completely lost in this role and it must be hard work and humbling getting to that level of disability.

    I loved some scenes, some I found cliche or manipulative. But then again it's a melodrama so that's the whole point, to make us empathize. I really didn't see the point of the girl and I knew no good would come of it, unless the movie went into some very unrealistic territory. But I guess there's a girl like that in every boy's life. I thought the mom got off too easily and she absolutely had no excuse, not even her own absent mother. The speech at the mayor's office or wherever it was felt a little unnatural and rehearsed, not something he would say on the spot.

    I liked the grandma. She's the best grandma anybody could wish for.

    What a performance!!! What an actor!!!

    Jackson Yee's acting is already excellent enough, his first role in Better Days, although somewhat immature, is full of emotions. Every scene is impressive. But have to admit that the director filmed his acting very well.

    But this movie! THIS ONE! The camera lens is kind of slice-of-life style, occasionally beautiful piano notes. He completely dominated every scene, every scene of him is a highlight. Crazy acting, in a realistic and humane movie. He is cute and funny, I love scenes of him with grandmother.

    The sudden appearance and departure of the girl he likes, the realistic and cruel selfishness of his parents, I like those details a lot.

    Just feel that director/screen could have filled out the story better, but Jackson Yee's acting deserves extra points. I wish him all the highest awards not only Chinese awards but also international awards. This level of acting is really top-notch, no age limit.

    Seriously, this movie needs to be promoted internationally, I want to know more about process of making this movie.

    Appreciation

    Big World" is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity. With stellar performances, a compelling narrative, and thoughtful direction, the film offers an inspiring and heartfelt cinematic experience that encourages audiences to reflect on the power of determination and familial support.

    Film industry should give all awards to jackson yee. I am very heartfelt by your acting, even though i cry in between movie scenes. Thank you actor, co actor, directors, producer, film writer, film narrator, and all workers to show us real world of these lovely people's life. This movie should win oscar.

    • Trivia
      "Big World" is China's first film to significantly promote the cause of accessibility. Following its release, the production team and public institutions launched the "Moss Flower Pact" on January 1, 2025, aimed at helping individuals with impairments participate equally in social life.

      The pact calls for employers, educational institutions, interest groups, and public service providers to offer fair opportunities for employment and education to people with impairments. Organizations or individuals that join commit to removing barriers to work, learning, and living, thereby supporting the advancement of accessibility.

      Displaying or using the Moss Flower symbol signifies a voluntary commitment to this initiative. The pact seeks to raise awareness about individuals with impairments and encourage collective efforts to create an accessible environment. Its implementation will enhance social participation for people with disabilities and promote equity and progress in China.

      Liu Chunhe: You are the star up in the clouds, I am the weirdo who traverses the river of lonliness. The executioner on the bridge, is killing dreams. The gunshots from the embankment, killed all desires.
