I think "Yi Yi" is like a booming pool of water. We are waiting by the water, waiting for the fish to jump, waiting for the splashes and raindrops. When we are tired of waiting, when we are a little irritable, we realize that we have been waiting all the time. This Wangqingtan is a grand beauty in itself. I am a person who loves poetry. At the same time, I am full of awe of Buddhism. Some people say that poets are mostly Buddhists. I think it is poets who are full of more passionate love and hatred for the world. They seek their own peace in the hustle and bustle. They use words to describe the transcendent freedom outside of things. This freedom is attributable to the peace of mind and is born in peace; this kind of peace and auspicious meaning is the nature that both poetry and Buddhism pursue. "Yiyi" director Yang Dechang once said: "Buddha is a perfect person for me." This shows that behind the film "Yiyi" is like dripping water but has the power to pierce stones The director's good intentions.
The "Qing" of
"Yiyi" "Yiyi" is like a poem, destined to be chewed endlessly. The ordinary life shown by each character in the play has its own taste when chewed carefully. "Yi Yi" is like a spring rain, which softens our restless souls and makes it appear clear and pure.
The male protagonist NJ is an uncompromising good man. He doesn't speak much, and his heart is warm and romantic, but his compact life does not allow him to be filled with excessive warmth. He needs to work hard and shoulder the burden of a family. His brother-in-law is chaotic. After the wedding, his mother's stroke followed, which made his life even worse and tighter. He never complained, even when his wife Minmin left, he seemed calm and calm. As the head of the family, he gave all family members enough freedom, which was his love for the whole family. He is also meticulous in his work. When dealing with the dilemma of his company, he would rather use his labor to save the decline than to use dirty means to win benefits. His integrity is enough to impress each of us. Tolerance in life and principles in work make NJ full of charm, he has peace in his heart, he is himself as always, and he makes the life around him as peaceful as possible, which may be the reason that too few people can did it.
Tingting's love is a bland throbbing in the movie "Yi Yi". The love of cardamom nianhua lit up a little bit of light in the whole somewhat desolate plot. A girl's heart is always the most touching, even if this love The ending was not happy, but Tingting showed her most sincere girlish feelings to the fullest. Tingting always stares out the window, her thoughts are like "the leaves of contemplation, shaking alone in the breeze." She is lonely, but not lonely, even after the failure of love, she still maintains a noble attitude, her youth Like catkins, her pure beauty has become the scenery in the play. For love, "One One" tells us: it is pain that makes us understand love and being loved.
The "Qing" of the movie "Yiyi" is not only a gentle plot, but behind the contradictions, it allows us to see the most real world, the essence of this world is beautiful, and the people of this world are pure. For life, "light" does not mean "tasteless". The clear is self-clearing, just like NJ and Tingting, even if life turns around, there is never the slightest entanglement in the heart. This may be what the movie wants to tell us.
"Stillness" in "Yiyi"
"Everything is consumed by movement and born in stillness. Quietness is the house of the gods. Stillness produces wisdom, and movement produces dizziness. Without tranquility, it is difficult to go far." "Yiyi" makes this truth even more Deep into our hearts, NJ was dissatisfied with the opportunistic practices of business partners and quit, Minmin went into the mountains to cultivate because of unbearable pressure, Tingting chose to talk to the grandma on the hospital bed because of emotional frustration, and Yangyang was faced with 100,000 whys. Think alone. All the characters in the play did not let their anger, sadness or helplessness resort to violence, despair and depravity, they all chose to think calmly and reflect, which is a huge thought and enlightenment for today's impetuous people. The inner tranquility of the characters in the play makes everything easy to solve, so that life can return to the right track in rationality. This is the highest manifestation of "Meditation and Peace of Mind" in Buddhism, which makes us understand that life can also be used for thinking. As written in the poem, "Fantasies about quietness, like the years, illuminate the time".
"Silence" in "Yiyi"
"Quiet and inaction" is the interpretation of life and death in Buddhism, and it is a kind of respect for life. The understanding of life is the suggestion given to us by "Yiyi". NJ is a pragmatic person, when he faced his mother-in-law's coma, he didn't eagerly expect her to wake up, but considered whether she really wanted to wake up. Da Tian also said that he is afraid of waking up every day because he does not know what he will face, and he is afraid that today is just a new yesterday. The uncertainty and repetition of life is daunting. Tingting also said that the world you see when you close your eyes is so beautiful. Therefore, it is unknown how much the "old" mother-in-law still desires for life.
The film arranged for her mother-in-law to return to the light in a dream. In order to give Tingting a peaceful sleep, she died silently. Facing the death of her mother-in-law, the family members of the closest relatives did not cry. After this period of time, they all realized that life is much harder than death. Tagore said in two poems: life is like crossing a big sea, we meet in the same narrow boat. When we die, we go to the other shore together, and go our separate ways to different worlds. This is the fate between life and death, between people. Finally, from Yangyang's mouth, it is said that the other side is the end, which is the truth that the film hopes people to understand at the end.
The death of the mother-in-law brought the whole family together, just like the scene at the beginning of the marriage, one sadness and one joy makes the whole plot complete. Maybe we have seen life and death, but in this long time from life to death, we still have too many things to do, even if these things are monotonous and repetitive, but it constitutes our life. There is a sentence in the play: "No cloud, no tree is not beautiful, so people should be like this."

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.
