From my point of view <11>

is a very good literary film...
The first scene starts with marriage and ends with a funeral.. In my opinion, what it wants to show is the joys and sorrows of life..
In this film , There is no absolute protagonist, and close-ups are rarely used. Under my observation, it seems that only a few very short places such as Tingting holding her mother-in-law's hand in front of the hospital bed use close-ups, so that these places are more attractive to the viewers. Pay attention, and lead to deeper thinking.
On the contrary, when this film uses a large number of big visions and generalizes everyone, it just expresses the theme. In our life, everyone is the protagonist...
Tingting's heart is Because of a bag of garbage, my mother-in-law was in a coma all day and felt guilty. Later, it was her first love...
Yangyang's mind changed from hating the girl called "little wife" to her attention.. To hope to tell others, others will see What they ca n't reach...
Their mother's concern is the actual emptiness of a strong woman's heart. The distress brought by living a day-to-day life without direction..
NJ's concern is that, as an intellectual, The helplessness and compromise on the contradiction between ideology and reality.. and the encounter with his girlfriend 30 years ago...
my brother-in-law's mind is always thinking about how to make money in the tide of development~
Brother-in-law's former girlfriend's concern is to do something that can disrupt the new life of a normal couple and make herself valued...
Jiang's mother's concern is that she is a senior executive, but a single mother also needs to rely on
Xiaochuan Concerns are the emotional fluctuations and impulses of adolescent children ~
and so on...
However...only my mother-in-law's thoughts...the most arousing people's thinking, when I want to come to my mother-in-law's thoughts, it is everyone's thoughts...in In the whole movie, the mother-in-law does not have a line, but she is the soul of the film, a silent witness...

About according to the doctor's wishes, she has to speak to her mother-in-law every day so that she can wake up quickly:
this is a clue that puts every The people in these stories are connected in one thing, and the characteristics of each person can be seen from the way they speak, and it is also the interpretation of each person's own heart: Mom is a middle-aged and successful woman who does not have too many ideals, so she speaks every day. It's all the same, it's over soon. My brother-in-law thinks he can say it, but in the end it's still a routine. He has a scene where he doesn't want to talk. He wanted to say that he met his ex-girlfriend that day. Because of the cowardice in his heart, he couldn't face himself. Instead, Tingting was the best brave. He said what he wanted to say. But Yangyang refused to tell his mother-in-law because he was still an innocent child...he The mother-in-law who thinks what he is going to say knows...

About the filming
I like this film and there is a very important point. It is also because of the idea of ​​filming. First of all, at the wedding, there is a long-term view. The shot is always the same. People are having a wedding, and this group of people has different shapes... Although it is a general discussion, it is very particular. If you look closely, you will find that one of the men is very drunk, sitting on a chair and poking very dizzy. Head, everyone started coaxing him, he stood up and coaxed a few times, then sat down again as if he was about to vomit, someone came to help him up and coaxed him a few times, he sat down again and lingered... It's just like life Most of the time in the film, the audience is like a bystander of life...
There is also a lot of use of glass reflection. In the film, most of the reflection on the glass is avoided, but this film uses it very witty, For example, in the hospital, when NJ was talking with his brother-in-law, the ugly state of the person who had just attended the wedding was reflected on the glass, and
it One is the use of the whole film... Director Yang Dechang really took great pains...

Regarding the connection of the shots, those who are
attentive may notice like me, there is a clip: a few people from the company went to dinner after talking about business and NJ had a conversation with shrimps. Later, the topic continued to connect to the car. Continue talking...
and Xiaoyan did B overtime before giving birth to a child and saw the baby beating in her mother's belly. When a woman said something about the baby, it was followed by a picture of negotiating business with Daejeon. Wait and listen It was only after I found out that this woman was a translator, and she was not talking about a baby but a game...
These are all very clever connections...

Reflection on the traditional Chinese feudal concept Xiaoyan already had a big belly at the
wedding Now, it implies that the chosen "good day and auspicious day" can be thought out in every possible way, but many bad things have sprung up because of this day... For example, my brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend came to the scene of NJ's encounter with an old acquaintance... Another example Because of the rubbish that was not thrown away because of the wedding, the mother-in-law's coma and final death, etc...

About art comes from life...
During the interaction between Tingting and Xiaopang, they shuttled through the streets and stations of Taipei. .At the same time..his father NJ and his old girlfriend shuttled through the streets of the east longitude, the station...this part is interspersed....why don't we do this kind of thinking in our life...the same In time, what are other people doing.... There is a medium in space that isolates you, you can't see it, you can't touch it... But it's real...

About the most important point~
This movie doesn't There are too many facial expressions, and there is no need for actors to perform contrived performances. In many cases, such as when NJ meets his first love girlfriend, he does not take NJ's expressions... It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. To be relieved, in fact, the expression is the most expressive of psychological changes... Since then, the quality of the actors is more required, so this is also the main reason why everyone thinks the role of Wu Nianzhen NJ is very successful and full of authenticity after watching the movie. bar

...
............ Of course, at the end of the film, my mother-in-law died
.
Yangyang was wearing a small suit and holding the words she had written to her mother-in-law. ..
——Mother-in-law, I have never talked to you, not because I don't like to talk to you, but because I think I can talk to you, you must have known it a long time ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't call me "obedient" every time. Like they said you were gone and you didn't tell me where you went. So, I think, that must be somewhere we all know. Mother-in-law, there are so many things I don't know, so, do you know what I want to do in the future? I'm going to tell people things they don't know, and show them things they can't see. I think it must be fun every day. Maybe, one day, I will find out where you have gone. At that time, can I tell everyone and ask everyone to come and see you? Mother-in-law, I miss you so much, especially when I see that little cousin who has no name yet, I will think of you and tell me: you are old. I think I really want to say to him now: I'm getting old too...
The film has sublimated to the point where...

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.
