Evaluation:
The play City in the Sky is full of many new elements. The film almost perfectly depicts the landscape of the world in the time when the story happened, which is a little sci-fi, a little myth, and a little industrial revolution in the European era, such as old trains on elevated tracks, dark mines, flying ships, robots like clay sculptures and so on.
The tense plot runs through the whole movie, but the blue sky and thick white clouds make the sharp conflict more intriguing; The performance of characters often depends not on the lines, but on the specific actions of the characters, which makes the character more profound.
