Is there anything worse than these?
When the last sensitive flower withered in relief, there was finally nothing in this world that could bloom.
In fact, the petals scattered on the ground are just a different way of blooming. One by one, the simplest words contain the deepest emotions. Even though everything is intricate, even if it is upside down and scattered, it will ultimately belong to the noumenon. Regarding the title, Yang Dechang explained that jazz musicians would always count "one, two..." in a low voice before improvising. "One One" is such a jazz about life, with every note flashing. The excitement and anxiety in life. Yang Dechang chose an effective and direct way to explain the meaning of life to us, through the sorrow and joy of a family and the life experiences of people of different ages in the family.
Yang Yang, full of childishness and wisdom, said: "He can't see the back of his head, so I photographed it for him." The development of technology has long since solved the problem of viewing the back of the body, but there are a few people who can see the back of life thoroughly. ?
Can an old and frail mother-in-law? Time went too fast and too fast, everything had changed before she had time to accept it. The world was born with freshness every day and unexpected every day, so she could only be silent. The world of the elderly is destined to be lonely and powerless. After the stroke, her mother-in-law's words became less and less, and what she needed was more emotional care, which could not be compensated by the peace after the vicissitudes of life. In the reinforced concrete jungle city, as many lives vainly try to be indifferent to everything, there are as many vainly trying to experience all life. For example, Tingting, who is in love at the beginning, her beautiful, pure and exquisite first love is so desirable. Watching movies with her beloved boy, crossing the road with hands, kissing under the bridge... graceful and warm, even though it is so fragile, But still condensed the most flawless emotion in her life. What's interesting is that this youth story in Taipei complements Jian Nanjun's revival in Tokyo. Forty is not confused. Every man should be like this in his middle age. Life is pale, career is full of pressure, and love crisis is prominent. Lost between family and career, faltering between the choice of feelings and responsibilities, and running around in discomfort. The interest-oriented society made him give up the principle of persistence, and rejecting old lovers, but let us see the self-knowledge that a middle-aged person should have. The other middle-aged man in the film, Jian Nanjun's wife Min Min, chose to face it in an evasive way. She turned to the protection of gods and Buddhas, and pinned her hopes on fictional things in order to obtain spiritual comfort. She began to become sensitive. Anyone's eyes and movements would make her feel at a loss, and this uneasy state of mind happened to coincide with the anxiety and rapid changes of the times. There should be many people with heart disease such as others.
Yangyang is the clue and finishing touch throughout the film. He is full of personality and can often say amazing things, although he may not yet understand the truth. At the end of the film that shocked countless people, he said:
Mother-in-law, I miss you so much.
Especially when I see that little cousin who has no name yet,
I think of you often telling me: You are old.
I really want to tell him: I think...I'm getting old too.
One by one, starting with the wedding and ending at the funeral, together with the distressed and confused silhouettes of people of all ages described in the film, a true and complete life experience unfolds. The bleak and gloomy tone runs through the film. A game that should be taboo started without warning, and ended silently.
At this point, I seem to be speechless, tears bursting into my face when I haven't spoken. After watching "Yi Yi", it seems to have seen the confusion and helplessness of the whole century.
