There are many categories of movies: action, romance, ethics, suspense, animation, comedy; mainstream or non-mainstream; commercial or artistic; Words - "good" or "bad"!
The root of a good film has a similar and moving inner quality, which is the central idea of the film, and it is also the director's well-intentioned conspiracy. They seem to be scattered in every corner of the film at random. Along the way, they will moisten things like a virus. Silence penetrates into every cell of yours, and finally brews into an emotion that firmly controls your heart, makes you silent, makes you sigh, makes your eyes sweat... And it turns into a ghost called after rhyme, which surrounds you. Doesn't Liang have three days off?
Yang Dechang's films have always been lengthy. It doesn't matter if you are empty and rushing to urinate; it doesn't matter if you are skinny and thin as if you are sitting on pins and needles, and you want to die immediately; of course, it doesn't matter if you can't bear to greet his ancestors of the nineteenth generation, or In anger, shut down the power and avoid Yang Ruwen forever. This "One One" only took three hours. I almost wanted to throw tears, snot, earwax, and cry together, crying and thanking the old man for his kindness. Finally, my conscience found that I let us go, Amituo Buddha, my Buddha is merciful! The lengths are not counted, the film is full of trivial life trivia, no gunfights, no car chases, no nudity and sex scenes, how can it be an ordinary person's ability to see from the beginning to the end? However, as long as you are patient and follow him slowly, many helplessness and emotions in life (such as involuntary helplessness and subtle and ordinary warm emotions) will surge into an irresistible undercurrent, and you can't help but wash and slap forcefully. Your heart that has been dusty for too long, it is a kind of desire to die between your lips and teeth after swallowing tea, that is what marijuana can not give, it is very HIGH, very IN, it should only be a feeling in the sky, it has always been met but hard to find , you and I understand.
The story is actually very simple. NJ (played by Wu Nianzhen), who has a mid-life crisis as scheduled, lives peacefully on the surface, but he is already bored with everything around him. It happens that his first love girlfriend appears at the right time. Looking for a chance to spend a few days with Yi, Reminiscing about the past, that's all. What is one? What is from one to one? A beginning and an end? One with another? One to two to one? Maybe each of us will not have the same answer, just ask our heart.
This is a delicate and long film, and experiencing it is like going through a process from frivolity to calmness, from indifference to moving. I really like the shots about glass in it, whether it is the scene shot through the glass or the scene reflected by the glass, the clean and delicate light and shadow, like the sensitive and fragile emotions of urbanites. I really like the shot of Taipei's traffic at night reflected by the glass. It has a feeling of being tired and powerless after living in the city for a long time.
NJ's superficial brother-in-law got married that night, the old mother-in-law had a stroke; the wife couldn't bear the blow of the indifferent life with each other and the mother became a vegetative person for a long time, and she was mentally broken and lived in the temple; ; The son Yang Yang, who has been bullied by girls, likes to use the camera to take pictures of strange things and people's backs, and he wants to tell others the other side they can't see; the Internet bubble and the overall weak economy make the expansion of IT-based companies subject to investment Fang questioned and scolded... Life is like a vortex, we can't help but watch ourselves sinking a little bit, helplessly spinning wildly with those so-called modern industrial civilizations that are absurd and in the opposite direction, and finally can't extricate themselves like grass!
There are many things in the world, and you have to give up some when you choose some. There are also many roads in the world. There is one road. Thousands of people have traveled through the ages. They say that as long as you do what we say, happiness will always be at your fingertips and effortless. So you are an honest person, diligent and diligent in doing things, five talk, four beauties, three loves, don’t be late, leave early, don’t talk small, don’t spit (although you envy Jack’s pride and unrestrained spitting into the sea), you live completely for others, you You are a man during the day and a ghost at night. Only in the dead of night do you dare to mourn for yourself quietly... Then you start to want to escape, but where can you escape? Where is not Jianghu? Where is there no quagmire? This is a powerful vortex, and you and I can't help it. Or maybe, you have heard people say, "If you can't do what you like in your life, what's the point of living a long life?", you may regret less if you want to take some inconspicuous paths independently, but your pampered temperament And I am extremely afraid of overcoming obstacles. After all, it is so difficult to take the first step... Haha, you poor and pathetic people!
NJ took a business trip and walked with his first girlfriend in Japan for a few days, (Hey, why is it Japan and not other places? Because it is a movie invested by Japanese, this is also the current situation of Taiwan's film industry, using Japanese money to make movies, including Hou Hsiao-hsien) The green-shaded mountains, the bustling streets, the quiet and pleasant beaches, holding hands to talk about the past, laughing at the past... Later, NJ and his wife said: "When you are not here, I have the opportunity to go After a period of youth. I would have said that if I lived again, it would be different. As a result, I didn't notice any difference. Suddenly, it seemed that there was no need to live again." , it is fortunate to be able to occasionally go back to the past unintentionally, and who can really start all over again? Who can afford to consume the time and energy of those youthful passions, the words spoken, the people loved, the songs sung, and the dreams? That's why the lover will cry in NJ's arms with a broken heart, and she will knock on the door of NJ's room so sad and helpless that night, so in the end, she is the only one crying in the room, crying the back of youth, crying The years of waiting, crying about the end of love, crying about the belief that my heart collapsed, crying for the first half of my life, crying for the second half of my life... That night NJ alone smoked so strong, and the tide was very big. The waves are stronger than the waves, and they keep beating against the rocks...
How many women can you live up to in your life without panicking in the dark night? How many times have you been let down by others and your heart is ashes?
Tingting is a girl who is too pure and too kind. She is just at the age of the beginning of love, and she is curiously watching the love of others. She accompanies Lili to find Fatty; she helps Fatty bring letters to Lili; she enlightens Fatty who has lost her love... Until one day, Fatty sends her a letter and says, "Tingting, this is for you." She felt That is love, she took off her uniform and put on a white and blue dress, she was so moving and radiant. The girl with the little secret in her heart is so cute, the corners of her eyes and brows are full of love, pure and beautiful, with the sweetness of longing. Tingting and Fatty went to watch movies, clubbing, listening to concerts, and finally went to open a room, wanting to confirm their love in the most straightforward way. The timid Fatty finally said sorry and ran away in a panic, Ting Ting walks alone on a desolate road, and the way home is long...
I like Yangyang very much, with smart and firm eyes, and often come up with bizarre and philosophical questions, so I feel that my little innocence and aura have long been ruthlessly cut down by invisible rules and regulations in school and society. Mechanically repeating what others have done, walking the way others have done, and saying what others have said, what about innovation? What about liveliness? Alas!
Yangyang was also in love. The moment when the door opened, the soft light revealed everything about the girl. With her slender legs and delicate face, Yangyang stared at the girl in a daze, and a seed of love sprouted. The girl likes swimming, so he practiced holding his breath in the sink at home. On a rainy afternoon, Yangyang resolutely jumped into the swimming pool, choked up and screamed... He almost cried, such bravery and directness, and Many precious things have been lost by us on the way of growth, and now we face things (including love), and we will "calmly and rationally" weigh the pros and cons, hesitate, and be timid; The means can even be chosen... I will never follow the call of my heart and go forward without turning back, and will no longer be pure and direct. In order to gain the recognition of the adult world and "mature" as soon as possible, we have abandoned our innocence and kindness, our ideals and beliefs, and our clean and happy hearts. We exchange our freedom and self-respect for those who are obsessed with the adult world. They think that is the value of life. things, those wealth, power, status... Then, like the dialogue between my colleague and NJ at the end of the film: "Look at how hard I have worked so hard all these years, I have worked so hard, I have been busy from morning to night, NJ, do you know, I'm not happy at all." "I'm not doing what I want to do, how can I be happy?" Then, we went to find those precious things that we lost... In
life, we really have to experience that" Seeing a mountain is a mountain, and seeing a water is a water.” “Seeing a mountain is not a mountain, and seeing a water is not a water.” The process of “seeing a mountain is a mountain, and seeing a water is water.” Does the flower smile? Is life really a process of constant pursuit of this "one, two, one"?
