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.

    I have seen a lifetime

    Yang Dechang's film won the Cannes Best Director Award. The images for nearly three hours are exquisite and long. There are no big ups and downs in the film, but they have been mildly speaking. But seeing the plain truth, it makes people heavy.

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.
