Abstract
Based on the novel A Monster Calls by British writer Patrick Ness, from an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, the movie of the same name tells the story of a boy who grows up through hardship and overcomes trauma under the inspiration of a tree monster. This Hollywood blockbuster, which has won worldwide acclaim, brings audiences refreshing experience with its creative narrative techniques, peculiar picture styles, grand audio-visual effects, and far-reaching plot connotations, so that it triggers people’s thoughts on how to face growth and death.
