Is this your life?

I'm sorry, mother-in-law, it's not that I don't like talking to you, but I think you must have known it a long time ago if I can talk to you. Otherwise, you won't call me "obedient" every time. It's like they all said you're gone, and you didn't tell me where you went, so I think that must be a place we all know. Mother-in-law, I don’t know too many things, so, do you know what I want to do in the future? I'm going to tell others things they don't know, and show others things they can't see. I think it must be fun every day. Maybe, one day, I will find out where you went. At that time, can I tell you that I can come and see you together? Mother, I miss you so much, especially when I see that little cousin who has no name yet, I will remember that you often tell me: You are old. I really want to tell him, I think, I'm getting old too... Mr. Yang, thank you, for this touch prepared for me, you will be well there, I wish you. This time , I really want more people to see my nonsense. If you think this is not nonsense, please recommend it. This will be the gift of this movie and you to my life.

    Yang Dechang's sense of alienation and calmness is largely due to the fact that he does not use film actors, so the audience cannot get an immersive experience, but instead has a space for thinking. Ang Lee's actors are very cinematic, and even the supporting roles are very picky. Hou Hsiao-hsien didn't understand what a movie actor was until he met Shu Qi.

    The strange circle of Taiwanese cinema. After watching more than half of it, I finally clicked the little red cross in the upper right corner. Got up the next day and watched it. There is no way to judge a movie without watching it, not to mention that it takes two days to come to a conclusion after watching it. If it wasn't for that little boy who was a little interested, he probably wouldn't even bother to score points. The original intention of the film was very good, but it was too overtone. Sometimes literature and art are the finishing touch of improvement, and sometimes it can become a murderous blade.

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

  • 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.

  • 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?
