Education is always a hot topic to talk about in China, and Successor is produced to satirize those parents who crazily want their children to be elite. The purpose of the film wasn't bad, but the plot merely seems to be a mix of good films such as The Truman Show and Hindi Medium. What's more, the act and the scene aren't outstanding. There indeed occurs some funny plot, but that's not special at all. Another drawback is the bad ending. The director doesn't explore the deep emotion of Ma Jiye when he knows the truth that he was cheated by his parents for 18 years, and thus makes it hard for the audience to get what the director want to express. In conclusion, Successor is a quite normal movie but it succeed in China's ticket house thanks to the lack of good film in Chinese market.
