which he will soon be left all alone. The aquarium setting the Ocean Heaven of the title also adds a fresh atmospheric twist to the story. So much of the success of this film depends on how Wen portrays his character's interactions with these two. There are no magical solutions to the familial issues, just a lot of hard work from caring people. There are no real antagonists in this story. Some might consider this a negative, but the movie does not need it. I am glad, because Dafu's life is difficult enough and the movie is emotional enough. I had to watch it in two sittings because the first half depressed me quite a bit. I do recommend this movie and hope those who are on the fence about watching this to give it a watch. I think it is quite a good film. I feel that my own personal experiences have helped it to reach me in exactly the way it was intended. The film isn't particularly flashy, but it looks good. I really connected with Ocean
Heaven, though I can see it not being for everyone. I recommend it for someone looking for a
break from kicks to the face every once in a while. Overall, the movie is more than the sum of its parts and certainly a lot more than I expected.
