7/10
A beautiful movie...
23 July 2023
I had not heard about this 2022 Chinese drama titled "Ren Sheng Da Shi" (aka "Lighting Up the Stars"), prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2023. But with it being an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to watch it.

And I must say that writers Jiangjiang Liu and Min Yu put together a very enjoyable script for the movie. The story told in "Ren Sheng Da Shi" is one that encompasses a lot of topics and emotions, and it is done in a very beautiful and heartfelt way. The storyline in "Ren Sheng Da Shi" is one that hits home and sticks with you, so the writers really nailed it here, making the movie a very enjoyable and entertaining movie to watch.

But the storyline alone is not what made "Ren Sheng Da Shi" such a beautiful movie, because the cast really played a big part as well. They had gotten together a great cast ensemble for the movie, and I wasn't familiar with the actors and actresses here, but they certainly had talent. Leading actor Yilong Zhu (playing Mo Sanmei) and child actress Enyou Yang (playing Wu Xiaowen) really carried the movie phenomenally with their performances and brought so much life to their characters.

If you enjoy dramas, then "Ren Sheng Da Shi" is a movie that is well-worth spending 112 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the movie, and it is a movie that takes you on an emotional ride with ups and down, as well as some genuinely beautiful and uplifting moments as well. So thumbs up to director Jiangjiang Liu for that accomplishment.

My rating of "Ren Sheng Da Shi" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
