One plus one equals one

For the movie <11>, the only image I remember is a little boy masturbating in front of a row of cabinets. After watching the film yesterday, I realized that there is no such scene. Maybe I associate this scene with a certain movie in my memory. The movie was mixed up, maybe it was ? Or something else?

It was a movie that lasted nearly three hours. I didn't have any strong feelings. I wanted to watch it the second time. My wife called me once and asked me if she could go to my colleague's house to play mahjong, and promised to go home before nine o'clock. I always fight against each other. I hate this kind of behavior, but in order to ensure that I can watch this film in an undisturbed environment, I agree. Shamelessly, this incident can be used as an example of my compromise for art.

Yang Dechang's film , I haven't seen it before, I just heard the name of this director. As a representative of Taiwan's new wave, he has the same names as Wang Tong Hou Hsiao Hsien and Cai Mingliang, and has become one of the must-know items for young literary and artistic people. As for him Whoever is more famous and his ex-wife Cai Qin is a matter of opinion. If you use the metaphor of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's hen and egg to describe this person and his works, then the general situation should be that everyone knows this man. A hen, as for whether the eggs he lays are delicious, whether they are double yellow or stinky, not many people have tasted them, or they will throw them aside after one bite.

Now this hen is dead, he The eggs became very popular immediately, and the major disc dealers took action one after another, repacking the few eggs that few people cared about, labeling "the eggs of a dead healthy hen" and launching them grandly. , A healthy and once very NB chicken, even if it dies, the eggs he leaves are more reliable and less toxic than those of the living plague chickens. Therefore, I am greedy and afraid of death, I immediately bought a batch Come back and hurriedly taste the taste.

To be honest, although this movie is very long, it is not boring at all. Compared with those movies that are less than two hours and require me to fast forward for more than an hour, they are much more boring. The biggest difference between boring movies and good movies is The difference is not the length, nor the rhythm, but the boring film, even if it is only ten minutes long, it will be filled with at least eight minutes of nonsense. It makes people feel extremely irritable and their minds go blank. A good film, no matter its length, can convey a great deal of information to the audience in every shot and every line of dialogue, keeping the audience's mind and senses in constant motion every moment. Measured by this standard, < 11> Undoubtedly it belongs to the latter.

The person who speaks like the above paragraph is either a fake B-criminal, or he really understands something in the film. First of all, judging from the name of the film, 11, this What does the name mean? I flipped through the film reviews on the Internet, and some people said that he felt that the name symbolized the blandness of life. This kind of speculation simply insulted Director Yang's IQ. If the word with the fewest strokes can represent the blandness of life , then I make a movie called gluttonous or filthy, this movie should be so complicated that it can't be added? Another way of saying that this name represents the family in the movie, I think if this is the case, it is better to learn Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi's approach, directly named "Look at This Family", is popular and direct.

The most easy part of this film to make people understand the original intention is the repeated footprints of generations, and future generations are stepping on the footsteps of their predecessors. , The predecessors saw their own shadows in the later generations. Yangyang fell in love with white underwear, Tingting's boyfriend fled at the door of the hotel room like a father, and neither brother-in-law nor brother-in-law chose the first woman, and the new student. The speechless baby and the vegetative old lady lying on the bed symbolize the beginning and end of life. From this, it is easy to draw a proposition that all the characters in the whole movie are actually one person, one, the world All of the above, in the final analysis, there is only one man and one woman, for one and one.

Going back to the movie with this proposition, the movie suddenly becomes interesting, because I can find the director's argument for this proposition at any time. In Yangyang's photo, everyone has only one back of the head, which is to say that although from a positive perspective Everyone's face is the same, but in fact, from a perspective that you can't see, everyone has the same back of the head. Most people only see one side of themselves as individuals, and they can see their unique features in the mirror Face, but can not see the same mark on the back. NJ in the film said to his first love woman: "Everyone dresses the same, but you are different", he feels that the woman he loves is unique, very Special , But he finally said: "I have never loved another woman."

Many people understand this sentence as NJ saying that he only loved his first love girlfriend, not his current wife, and therefore irreversible The lost love of his love is sighing endlessly. According to this IQ, he is more suitable to read Qiong Yao's novels rather than Edward Yang. This sentence can be completely understood as his love for his wife, not another first love girlfriend. These two kinds of The explanations are all feasible, but they are all wrong. The reason why Yang Dechang has set up such an ambiguous answer here is because what he wants to say is that he finally understands that all women are the same, Whether it is his first love girlfriend or his own wife, it is the woman he has loved, not another woman. What he loves is only as a woman, so no matter how many women he has loved and how many women he loves, these There is no difference between people except their faces. They are all the one that a man has loved, not the other two, three or four.

This proposition was finally confirmed by a dialogue after his wife returned. NJ said to his wife: "When you were away, I had a chance to go, a period of my youth. I thought that if I lived again, Maybe there will be something different. The result... It's still the same, nothing different. I just suddenly feel that if I live again, it seems... It's really unnecessary, really unnecessary." Here Yang Dechang finally borrowed the actor's mouth. Tell the audience what he thinks, that is, everyone is thinking if they had made another choice, whether their life would be different, whether they would become another person, in fact, there is no difference, as a person, everyone is the same Yes, repeating the way of the predecessors, birth, love, lovelorn, find a person to marry, until death, maybe everyone walks in different ways, but the footprints are the same, there is only one man in this world With a woman, when they meet, fall in love, break up or combine, they become one person. There is only one person in this world. This is what I understand

. I like it very much. The little boy Yang Yang jumped into the pool and disappeared from the camera. There were a few struggling voices in the movie. Because of his death, my life came to an abrupt end before I could print the footprints in front of me. Immediately It made me doubt my original proposition. But as soon as the picture turned, the door opened, Yangyang returned home full of energy, and his life continued again. NJ and Yangyang became the same person again, and everyone in the movie was the same person. The same person. Does this mean that no matter how individuals in life change, or suddenly interrupt, or take a different path, they will still come back with different faces, or wet, or disappointed or hopeful, Come to the track of being a human being.

Yangyang recounted in front of her mother-in-law's spirit: "I miss you so much. Especially when I see that little cousin who doesn't have a name yet, I will think of you and tell me: you are old. I really want to tell him that I feel... I'm getting old too." Every life keeps getting older from the moment of birth, maybe the rest can only say to the shadow not far behind, I am I'm getting old. I can almost see the me in a second saying to me at the moment, I'm getting old too.

Like Dechang Yang said in another movie, you are like the world, never will change.

You are human, we are all like this world, and we are all the same, will never change, forever.

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.
