Cheap rip off of "the pursuit of happyness" , predicable, and definitely not based on true story, trying too hard to make viewers believe that is a based on true inspiring story. 4 stars for the "nice views" of the city and landscape. Unnecessary action scenes ruining the immersion.

When their mother passed away, 20-year-old Jing Hao swore that he would take care of his young sister. Tongtong (Chen Halin) had congenital heart disease, and for the past six years, her doctor had been advising Jing Hao that she needed to have corrective surgery done before she reached eight years old, or else her condition will be more difficult for her.

However, between his cellphone repair shop and various other odd jobs, Jing Hao simply could not earn the needed money. He needed to think outside the box, gambling on crazy ideas that no one had tried before. He relied on his meticulous technical skill, never say die attitude and good relations with his neighbors to make his bold plan materialize.

Lead actor Jackson Yee is a multimedia superstar in Taiwan. His first big international movie break happened in 2019 when his film "Better Days" was nominated for an Oscar award. This year, he starred in two of the biggest box-office hits in China, "The Battle at Lake Changjin II" (currently #5 in the worldwide list) and "Nice View". Yee's portrayal of Jing Hao is sincere and earnest, inspirational to watch without being melodramatic.

I almost knew nothing going into this movie. Didn't even watch the trailer just read a little about the synopsis and damn was I surprised. This movie was a helluva roller coaster of emotions!

This movie is mostly set in 2013 and tells the harrowing story of an orphaned older brother and sister trying to find their way and survive in the bustling cut throat concrete jungle of Shenzhen... One of China's busiest cities.

Not going to lie was not expecting the emotional punch or journey this movie took me thru. I actually cried a couple times and the less I say about that the better. One thing I WILL say tho is this movie had a TON of heart.

The love btwn the characters absolutely shines thru. Some of the situations may seem hard to believe but I've been to China multiple times and know they are ALL very plausible. Def an under appreciated gem and I hope it gets more buzz at is a movie worth watching 🙏

It's no surprised that this Chinese theme film is nonrealistic. And it's hard to let audiences believe what cured the little sister's illness, especially there is no scene filming about the relationships between the doctor and the patient's family people. It is absolutly lack the real life experience.

But the beauty of the buildings and the hard work of the cleaners formed a very strong contrast. In the film language that could not be clearly stated, the director gave us a real China image.

Yeah this movie has it all. If you just want a movie to get you to laugh and cry, feel inspired and feel helpless, then this is for you

Great acting, visuals were decent, overall just a good movie.
