In God's shoes, all you and I can do is grow old

I want to think about why "Yiyi" is called "Yiyi", which will become another big problem that bothers me. I know that sometimes this is something only the director himself understands, and even if I wait for the blessings to become clear, I may not understand it correctly. Therefore, it seems useless to think about this, and it will only add to the troubles.

Everyone sees things differently, just like Xiao Yangyang said, "Daddy, I can't see what you see, and you can't see what I see. How do I know what you're looking at? Can we only know half of the things? I can only see the front, not the back, so half of the things can't be seen?

" Everything we can encounter: marriage, illness, encounter, crisis, first love... Everyone will have their own resonance, probably not the same, so at the beginning of the film, I use Xiao Yangyang's mouth to tell everyone, you and I only Only one side can be seen.

I was touched at the end of the film, NJ said to his wife: "When you were not around, I had a chance to be there, a time when I was young. I thought that if I lived again, maybe it would be different. The result... It's still the same, nothing different. I just suddenly feel that if I live again, it seems... It's really not necessary, really not necessary."

I may have been waiting for this sentence, thank NJ for his frankness, let I have a chance to let go. I often wonder how my life would have been different if I had done this instead of doing that at a certain moment in the past, and now the node in my life is the moment, like a permutation that never ends, this moment If it is changed, it may not be changed at the next moment. In the end, it may just go around in circles and return to the preset origin. This reminds me of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Besieged City". If Fang Hongjian did not marry Sun Roujia, but married Tang Xiaofu or Su Wenwan or Miss Zhou, what would be the difference?

Put yourself in the sky, it should be the position of Buddha or God, and seeing the red dust, it turns out that all you and I can do is grow old.

A philosopher said: One should learn not to hesitate in the first half of his life, and he must learn not to regret in the second half of his life. If a decision cannot affect human history, then don't worry too much, just follow your heart.

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.
