behind the invisible

"Yi Yi" is a horror movie.

The horror it creates is the truth we experience every day but always avoid. We live our lives like the articles we write. Modifications back and forth, in order to look beautiful. Change it back and forth, we think our true thoughts are what we embellished. Social status, carnal pleasures, power and money, there is nothing new, and children will simply grow old and become so-called dying people in an instant.

Language, expressions, and words are disgusting at a certain moment, and in addition to being disgusting, you will always see someone who is deeply involved in it and enjoys it. They will say "Yang Dechang is a prophet, he has insight into world affairs, he is the best at swearing, and he is best at describing an era", and then wear dirty slippers in the high-ranking world of obscenity. Whenever I encounter such a middle-aged slanted-eyed child, I always make myself suppress a certain emotion. NJ, played by Wu Nianzhen, suppresses himself, and no one really cares about this kind of suppression, because just like the classic saying "You have pressure, I have pressure, and who is not under pressure", it is not a topic that suppressing oneself is not new. Go up the mountain to practice with the so-called master. In the end, the master asks you to ask the gods. You should really give the master a face, and then scold the gods as a fool.

A brother is a diaosi, married a female subordinate and still has a relationship with his old lover. He was cheated of money, and because he was cheated, he got lucky. In the end, my mother died, and my happiness was fleeting. No one wants to control anyone, someone else takes pictures of the back you can't see, and you just give up after realizing it in a dull sense.

Children grow old in this kind of perfunctory. If you go back and talk to others carefully, including your own parents, you will find that spiritual perfunctory is everywhere. Caring aside, perfunctory itself is infernal. You want to be perfunctory, but your emotions are out of control when you are in a trance. Living in this world, it is best to be an artist, and it will be regarded as a kind of character no matter what. Even if forced.

    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 that...

    This movie is so beautiful. I have been thinking about reading, what is the meaning of watching movies, just for spiritual pleasure, now I slowly understand, it is to enter the world of books and movies, to experience and immerse, so as to prolong life. I decided that from now on, I will no longer watch any movie, book, variety show or anime at double speed. What you get from double-speed viewing is higher information acquisition efficiency, and what you lose is the opportunity to travel in the spiritual world. Speaking of this movie, I didn't know how to evaluate the soundtrack editing without having studied the movie. I can only say that the director is too good at filming, which made me feel the texture of the movie that I don't know the exact meaning of. Life is like that all over again.

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

  • 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.
