Features: Here are some pure, imaginative, and poetic films, a stage of allegories that the ordinary eyes between heaven and earth cannot perceive. Those beautiful and heavy stories are as pure as crisp lullabies piercing golden light, yet they hide a sense of awe-inspiring vicissitudes. Perhaps, it is these films that turn our world-perceiving eyes into a childlike clarity. These are the films I will always keep in my personal favorites. When one day I also start to mingle with you, full of vitality, I will know that there is something called youth that will never return again, and these films may be the only proof of a truly lived life I once had. The 50 films selected in this book are those that have accompanied us from the very beginning of our dreams. When innocence turns into weariness, looking back, we find they have become allegorical in nature. All the warmth and joy remain like the afternoon sunlight of childhood—bright and solitary, yet with an added touch of poetry and reflection. The quote by Hans Christian Andersen is true: fairy tales are for people of all ages, from 9 to 90. Films are no different.
