Has anyone actually watched the video? It's a real tear-jerker in the best Pixar-style storytelling tradition. And there is no "sucking up" anywhere in it.

This was beautiful. My jaw was on the floor and I was in tears at the end. Story kinda reminds me of Finding Dory.

I also love the title of the short, “Daughter.” At first I thought it was referencing the toddler in the film. It still could be. It could be about two different people in the short, so I found it such a clever title.

It’s just astounding something that fits in your pocket can record a film. I would say you are delusional back in 2000.

try to open one's currently shut-hard minds and understand the world's peoples' and cultures' amazing and varied conditions.

this video was powerful...
having lived in China for 7 years, it really captured the subtleties of relationships (between new generation '80s born estranged daughter and mother; between mother and daughter. the expressions of the various people who sit in her taxi and how they interact with the woman and her daughter).
the architecture captured modern china's contradictions as well.
really loved this video...

“* *”, the worst visual art I’ve seen from Apple recently.
Do you hate human beings, love, and compassion? Because that’s what this is all about. And to be bothered or offended by it in any capacity is simply mind boggling ... and repulsive.
