      28 years old, after watching "Yiyi", I seem to have finished my whole life

      why this world
      different from what we thought

      When I went to Maoshan in 2017, I saw that the old road in the mountain used a pole to pick things up and down the mountain, like a leisurely stroll. Auspicious clouds are blooming above the Taoist temple with blue tiles and red walls. I touched the boulders around...

      Alienation from the world is indescribable.

      It's the kind I like. Alienation from the world is indescribable. He was talking, but he didn't know what to say. I think I feel it. Especially sad. Fate. Also calm. I watched "Isabella" the day before yesterday, and it was fine at the time, but in this comparison, it's a long way off.

      Remove a dependency. In the end it didn't. It's better to train yourself slowly when there are times, and pretend that you don't have it. would be better. Watching the episode of Ah Jun and Ah Rui in...

      I see the sadness and yearning in your eyes

      It's really cold, it's not a warm season after all. Holding a glass of boiled water in the cold dormitory, I finished watching Yang Dechang's "One One". This is a long movie. For three hours, I re-read an equally long life with Yang Dechang, and felt a life experience that touched the id outside of the id. After watching the movie, the boiling water in my hand was already cold. Just like the lines in the movie say: after the invention of the movie, human life has been extended at least three...

      who's music

      In the summer of 2000, when
      I opened the
      entertainment page of "Southern Weekend", Tony Leung's bright smile occupied a quarter of the page
      . He became the new film star at the just-concluded Cannes Film Festival.
      Since then, he has turned into a big celebrity and the
      news ends by the way. I mentioned a sentence of
      Taiwanese director Yang Dechang's "One Yi" which
      won the Best Director Award at this year's film festival.

      In the summer of 2007 , I saw...

      list one by one

      I 'm not good at writing coherent film reviews, so I have to list the points that I feel the most:
      1. Whether I watch Cape No. 7 or 11, I feel that the life breath of such Taiwanese films is blowing in my face, compared to the so-called life in the mainland. The film feels much more real. Let's take the part of Adi's wedding. He raised his head and poured the yellow soup violently, and then spit it out, everyone flashed... I couldn't help laughing and found that this scene was so real. Are...

      I said it this way, when you were away, I had a chance to spend a period of time when I was young. I thought that if I lived again, maybe it would be different, but the result is still the same, no difference. I just suddenly felt that if I lived again, it seemed really unnecessary. There's really no need for...

      It starts with a wedding feast and ends with a funeral. The cycle of life and death, the glory of spring and autumn, everyone's distress is just a facet of life, have you ever seen what the back of its head looks like? This movie is enough to watch for a...

      The superficial life experience is not enough to deeply interpret the theme of this film. Every time Yangyang appears, it seems to add a dash of color to the dull tone. Taking a bunch of pictures of the back of the head shows the childishness that is exceptionally rare. The multiple mirror reflection narratives, the transition of sound and picture dislocation, and the long silence make this film a little bit more metaphysical and philosophical in the trivial daily life. The calm, flowing nature...

      If half of a person is alive, the other half is dead. Then the half of the dead will never be seen by the living. If half is hope, half is despair. The desperate half has been fully injected into life, and hope is left in death to be reviewed. Yangyang's role is even somewhat similar to Alexander in "The Sacrifice", taking people to see the other half, from aging and death to see the spread of life. The title is perfect. Personal impression is better than "Guling...

    Movie quotes

    • Yang-Yang: I'm sorry, Grandma. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to you. I think all the stuff I could tell you... You must already know. Otherwise, you wouldn't always tell me to 'Listen!' They all say you've gone away. But you didn't tell me where you went. I guess it's someplace you think I should know. But, Grandma, I know so little. Do you know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to tell people things they don't know. Show them stuff they haven't seen. It'll be so much fun. Perhaps one day... I'll find out where you've gone. If I do, can I tell everyone, and bring them to visit you? Grandma, I miss you. Especially when I see my newborn cousin who still doesn't have a name. He reminds me that you always said you felt old. I want to tell him that I feel I am old, too.

    • Yang-Yang: Daddy, you can't see what I see and I can't see what you see. So how can I know what you see?

      N.J.: Good question. I never thought of that. That's why we need a camera. Do you want one to play with?

      Yang-Yang: Daddy, can we only know half of the truth?

      N.J.: What? I don't get it

      Yang-Yang: I can only see what's in front, not what's behind. So I can only know half of the truth, right?

    • N.J.: I had chance to relive part of my youth.My first thought was then i could make things turnout differently but they turned out the same or not much different.I suddenly realized that even if i was given a second chance i wouldn't need it, I really wouldn't.
