What movie are we
reviewing today?
Over the moon.
What is it about?
A girl who tries to convince her dad or give proof to her dad that a space lady named Chang’e exists on the moon. And she builds a rocket to get up there, and makes a lot of friends, and can’t get back.
Why does she want
to prove that Chang’e is real?
It’s to keep her dad still in love with her mom…I thiiiiiiiiink?
What happened to
her mom?
She died.
Aw, that’s sad. Who
is Chang’e?
Chang’e is a space girl who lost her true love and was on the moon and stays there with a rabbit.
A rabbit?
Yes.
What does the
rabbit do?
It’s just like a henchman….a hench..rodent?
What is the girl’s
name who tries to find Chang’e?
I forgot.
[Mom injects] Fei
Fei.
Oh yeah!
Isn’t the story of
Chang’e just a fairy tale?
Some say yes, and some say no. Like, it’s sort of a myth.
What culture is it
a myth from?
I think it’s Chinese..??
If you had to
compare the myth of Chang’e to something in American culture, what does it
remind you of? Is there an American myth similar to what we watched?
I don’t think so.
Did you like the
story?
Yes. Wait, just of Chang’e?
Yes.
Yes, I liked the….I don’t know.
When Fei Fei goes
to the moon, does she really go to the moon?
The movie doesn’t really show us that. At the end it’s a fade out to black.
Do you think it’s
good or bad that they don’t tell us?
If they show that it’s a dream, I think it would make the movie a little better because it would make sense a little better.
What other
characters are there?
There’s Fei Fei’s dad….there’s the [air quotes] brother….the [air quotes] brother’s mom…the brother’s pet frog….that weird THING that sings a song to Chang’e.
What is Fei Fei’s
plan to prove Chang’e is real?
She goes to the moon, and she brings a camera and she tries to get a picture of Chang’e to prove to her dad.
And what does
Chang’e want in return?
THE GIFT. DUN DUN DUNNNN.
Does she tell Fei
Fei what the gift is?
No. DUN DUN DUNNN.
So, how does Fei
Fei know what she’s looking for?
I don’t know. She just finds it.
Well that’s
convenient.
What does conveeeenyent mean?
It means she
doesn’t have to work hard for what she’s getting. What did you like about the
movie?
I liked that there was cooking.
Cooking? Who was
cooking?
Their entire family.
Whose family?
Fei Fei’s entire family?
What were they
cooking?
Moon cakes!!
Did you want to
eat moon cakes after the movie?
Maybe.
Did you want to
cook moon cakes after the movie?
Maybe.
What was your
least favorite part of the movie?
Ummm…I think my least favorite part
of the movie is when they were on leap frogs.
What do you mean
on leap frogs?
On the moon.
There were leap
frogs on the moon?
According to the movie, yes.
Is that part of
the myth of Chang’e?
No.
Who was your
favorite character in the movie?
What’s the bunny’s
name?
[mom injects] Bunjee.
Is that the rabbit
that’s on the moon with Chang’e?
No, there’s a different rabbit that’s green that’s on the moon, but Bunjee is a different rabbit that is Fei Fei’s pet. But I know the “brother’s” pet frog has a name too, but I forgot. Every time you say “brother” you have to do quotes.
Tell me about the
music.
The music was pretty good. I liked the music. There were a couple songs that I dind’t like. One was the glowy thing thing. And Chang’e’s voice is a voice in Hamilton - Eliza.
And she’s a good
singer, isn’t she?
She IS.
If you could
change one thing about the movie, what would you change?
I wouldn’t necessarily change, I would add.
What would you
add?
I would add if you find out if it’s a dream or not.
In summary, did
you like it or did you not like the movie.
It was a medium.
Rating: Let’s say
you paid $20 to see that movie, how much would you ask back?
$4 because I think
it could have been a little better. With the ending and part of the music.
