From a professional point of view, I am not a film critic, and from a film lover’s point of view, I am not very fanatical, but it happens that some friends around me can be said to be quite seniors who love to watch movies. They are people who are not afraid of hard work. I just A lazy person who stretched out his hand to borrow movies from others, but was fortunate to have seen some fairly good movies. "Yi Yi" is a masterpiece that I have been thinking about for a long time, and finally got my wish recently!

I have seen a movie by Yang Dechang before, "The Murder of a Young Man on Guling Street", because it is said that this is Zhang Zhen's first movie. For his curiosity to see what Zhang Zhen looked like when he was young, I borrowed a DVD from a friend. Watch at home. The movie seems to be very long, the plot is a bit confusing in my opinion, the atmosphere of the movie is very depressing, there are not many words from the characters, and there are many night scenes, so it makes people feel dull, but later the little "Elvis" recorded his singing. The cassette was sent to the fourth in the prison, but was thrown into the trash by the prison guards. That scene touched my heart somewhat.

I thought "Yi Yi" was a depressing movie like "Guling Street Teenage Murder Incident", so I haven't watched it since I borrowed it back. There were really no good TV shows on Friday, so I turned it over and I was amazed at this movie. Really classic!

The rhythm of the movie is still slow, but the characters have more lines, and each character has a distinct personality, which seems to be more plump than the characters in "Guling Street".

Yangyang took a balloon to play at school at his uncle's wedding. The dean of staff shouted in the class, "Who took the condom to school?" The dean of education found Yangyang but only pulled out the balloon in his trouser pocket. Yangyang was wronged. So frustrated, he began to think, "What's the use of hearing but not seeing it?". So he refused to say a word to the comatose mother-in-law who had become a vegetative state. He felt that the mother-in-law he was about to say knew it, so he began to think, how to let others see what they couldn't see? What if you let others know what they don't know? He asked Dad: "Do people only know half of things?" Because "when we face the front, we can't see the back". Dad suggested that he could use a camera to take pictures, so he took pictures of different backs of different people around him. When the uncle looked at the back of his head photographed by Yangyang in surprise, Yangyang said, "You can't see it yourself, so I'll show it to you". When her mother-in-law died, Yangyang wrote a letter to her mother-in-law. He told her mother-in-law that he wanted to help others see things they couldn't see.

Have we always thought that what we saw was all? Do we always know only half of the things? If we don't know, who will film it for us?

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.
