    Beautiful movie , protagonist deserves an oscar.

    Movie is brilliantly written and acted, Liu is extraordinary, saw this movie clip as an instagram reel, just his acting made me watch the entire movie, even though I don't understand the language. Talents like him must be recognised internationally. Grandma was very natural loved her too.

    Parents are the same weather it's China or India, hahaha. 99% don't support or trust their own kids, be it when they are in school , college or even after marriage.

    When our creator has not created our own hands equally, why expect everyone fo be similar.

    Loved the movie. I hope more people watch it globally.

    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.

    everything is so perfect

    Jackson Yee, salute to you. His marvelous performance has made the movie more engaging. All other characters have played their part as they should have. The storyline is well-written. Direction and cinematography are totally on point. I love that they did not sugercoated anything, which made the movie deserving of an Oscar. The movie represents the actual reality of a clinically chalanged person. Although I think that the background score could have been more engaging. I think their are a lot of moments that any human being will feel related to. This movie represents that one should never lose hope or care about the negativity of society.

    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.

    The casting is spot-on

    Yang Lina, who was born in 1972 in Jilin, China, kicked off her documentary career in 1996. Her notable works include Leap of Faith, which competed for the Golden Goblet Award at the 25th Shanghai International Film Festival, and Spring Tide, which was also in the running for the Golden Goblet at the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival and won Best Director at the Changchun Film Festival.

    In her impressive feature film Big World, filmmaker Yang Lina tells the story of a determined young man with a disability and the crucial events happening in his life during one summer. Chunhu, who has cerebral palsy, assists with his grandmother's stage play while also getting ready for a college exam. His grandmother is eager to help him connect with the world, but his mother is constantly worried about him.

    The casting is spot-on for this kind of film: Jackson Yee, known for his role in Better Days, takes on the role of Chunhu, Diana Lin from The Farewell plays the grandmother, and Jiang Qinqin from Dwelling by the West Lake portrays the mother. While some may criticize Jackson Yee for playing a character with cerebral palsy, he really nailed it! The film is packed with emotion and has a few surprising twists, though I did feel it could have been about 30 minutes shorter. I bet you will cry... rare are those who didn't.

    The fantastic music by Kobayashi Takeshi really enhances the overall experience, and they even managed to weave in a brief love story! I liked it - a lot!

    • 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.
