"Yi Yi" is very simple and the story is unremarkable. It seems to be talking about the things at home, those things, that kind of feeling, we have experienced, or we may experience in the future, or are experiencing... However, these are all like what NJ said, "I thought that if I lived again, maybe there would be something different. The result... It's still the same, no difference. I just suddenly felt that if I live again, it seems... It's really not like that. It's necessary, it's really not necessary."

Fatty: "The invention of the movie tripled our lives. Because we gained at least twice as many different life experiences in it."
Fatty's words suddenly made me think we shouldn't watch it that way. Many movies, so many feelings that we have never had before, because of the expansion of information, our world is too rich, so that we can't distinguish what our true thoughts are, and we are less and less aware of our true inner thoughts. Demand, lost consciousness but not knowing it. Maybe if I say this, you will be confused. For example, you want to go somewhere, you have done your homework before you go, you know the most beautiful scenery there, you have even seen the pictures; you know the delicious food there , you have even read the reviews of different food critics; in short, before you get here, you already know it like the back of your hand, so you start your journey with different people's different feelings about this place. It's so beautiful here, so who said so...; the food there is so delicious, so whoever said xx feels really right, unconsciously we have become the spokesperson for others, we have lost our hearts Most of my feelings. Therefore, the information age has enriched our world and withered our hearts. Modern people have a lot of confusion, because they don't know their true feelings, they feel too many others, and they lose themselves.
"Yi Yi", the title of the film is very special, and there are often some captions in the film:
Daejeon: "Why are people always afraid of change and innovation? In fact, every day is a new day, and every day is different from the past day, but we are still every day. When we get up in the morning, we won't stop because we are afraid that it is a new day. But why are we afraid of change, of new attempts?" (The "one" here is the Vientiane Update)
Yangyang said to his father: "I can't see what you see, and you can't see what I see. How do I know what you're looking at? Can we only know half of things? I can only see The front, can't see the back, so, wouldn't half of the things be invisible?" (The "one" here is the other side of things)
One day, Yangyang's mother suddenly discovered that she told her mother exactly the same thing every day. What to do in the morning, what to do in the afternoon, and what to do in the evening, all in a few minutes. (The "one" here is a simple repetition.)
Also, NJ said, "You can pretend to be honest, you can pretend to be honest, you can pretend to make friends, you can pretend to do business, then what else is true in this world?" "It is impossible for people It's very sad to let another person teach him how to live, how to live, you know? Wait, it's all thought-provoking...

Thank you. Crying A, thank you for collecting the lines, I collected them, also used.

Yi Yi: A One and a Two... quotes

  • Ota: Why are we afraid of the first time? Every day in life is a first time. Every morning is new. We never live the same day twice. We're never afraid of getting up every morning. Why?

  • 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.
