first saw the name of this movie and thought it was telling philosophical truths such as life is like a dream. After watching it, I realized that "Like a Dream" is actually an aesthetic love story related to the original family. The work was created by the famous Hong Kong female director Luo Zhuoyao. The two protagonists of the story are starred by Yuan Quan and Wu Yanzu. Just thinking about Yuan Quan's acting skills and Wu Yanzu's handsome face is extremely exciting.
relied on Yuan Quan's excellent performance with two roles, combined with Wu Yanzu's honest and sincere personality, and the spacious and beautiful stage effect, so that the film won the honorary title of the best feature film in the 46th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival. After watching "Like a Dream", in addition to lamenting the true love between the protagonist and heroine, it is moving, but also sighing at their respective native families.
is constantly looking for Ai Ling who is also abandoned by her native family. Mike (played by Daniel Wu) is a Chinese young man living alone in the United States. Since his cat died, he has been having a strange dream. In his dream, he and a woman Ai Ling who was depressed because of her boyfriend's suicide ( Yuan Quan) entangled. He tried to help Ai Ling out of the pain through his own comfort and efforts, and the two gradually developed emotions in their dreams. In order to meet the lover of his dream, Mike flew back to Shanghai from the United States, hoping to find Ai Ling in the vast crowd.
With the unintentional help of a washing shop, Mike went all the way to Hangzhou. Coincidentally, he also ran into Ai Ling’s twin sister Yiyi (played by Yuan Quan), although before meeting Mike, Yiyi didn’t know he had another one in this world. Sister, but she quickly agreed to Mike's request and followed him to Shanghai to find Ai Ling. Ai Ling was sent to foster care when she was young. When she grew up, she talked about a boyfriend who loved her so much. Ai Ling relied on her boyfriend everywhere in her life. When her boyfriend suddenly left her, Ai Ling's spiritual world collapsed instantly. Up.
Children who lack love in their native families are often more vulnerable than ordinary people. They desire to get everything that the native family owes her from others, so Ai Ling regards her boyfriend as a life-saving straw, and desperately grasps him, hoping that he will protect her forever Beside. After learning that her boyfriend suddenly committed suicide and left her forever, Ai Ling immediately lost all sense of security. She longed to have a harbor where she could stop and avoid all harm from the outside world. When Mike continued to help Ai Ling in his dream, Ai Ling seemed to see hope again, and she felt dependent again. Mike seemed to be the savior of the heartbroken Ai Ling.
It can be seen that a child who has not received much care since childhood still hopes to be loved by others like a child when he grows up, even if sometimes he deliberately pretends to be a hedgehog, but as long as that person walks into her heart, everything about her The stabbing thorns no longer exist. The first person must leave first. Ai Ling's twin sister Yiyi gradually developed a love for him in getting along with Mike again and again. Finally, when Mike went to Shanghai to continue looking for Ai Ling, he repeatedly suppressed his urge to run in front of him and stayed silently watching him. On the night that Mike pretended to see him, Yiyi put on his best clothes, but in the end he was mistaken for Ai Ling.
Yiyi, who lost all his parents' love at the age of ten, has actually been longing for such a person to love her unconditionally, but Mike has never had her place in his heart. From the beginning to the end, Mike only loved Ai Ling. Although Yiyi was not abandoned by her father, her lack of care also made her shut herself up, walking in this world silently, enduring everything around her, and sparing no effort to build her own heaven for herself. , Because she knows that she can only rely on herself in this world. Doing the most boring job in history in Hangzhou, and working hard in Shanghai to get the approval of the boss, she is busy with no regrets, and behind every smile is her longing to be seen not in the sun. Warm and loving heart.
Mike's appearance has given her warmth and throbbing. It is the little care that made Yiyi fall in love with Mike. She thought about taking him as her own, but in the end she couldn't match the spurs of family and conscience. Leave Mike to complete Ai Ling. Children who have not been loved since childhood are often easily moved by others’ goodwill when they grow up. Based on Yiyi’s words, Mike is like a small boat floating in the ocean, and he suddenly sees the other shore while looking through. Just let my wandering heart land soon. Throughout our life, we are just looking for someone who can understand us.Although Mike is a young Chinese man with millions of deposits, he is not happy at all. He lived with his grandmother since he was a child. Not only did he not have a normal childhood, but he also witnessed the suicide and death of his mother when he was 3 years old. He yearned for maternal love and liked living with his mother, but no one really thought about him. The only thing that
mother left for him is the cat that he brought to the United States, but the cat died unexpectedly later. The encounter with Ai Ling in the dream gave Mike a strong desire to live. He no longer wanted to hide in the closet by himself, but instead wanted to guard Ai Ling next to her and give her support. This is probably It also has something to do with Mike who saw his mother commit suicide when he was a kid hiding in the closet. At that time, I saw Mike, whose mother was crying like a child, and she wanted to take care of her, but her mother never gave Mike this opportunity, so when I saw Ai Ling in a helpless and sad state in my dream, Mike immediately promised Ai Ling that he would not leave her, and would stay by her side to protect her forever.
What the original family lacks is often mapped to intimacy. Mike's goodness to Ai Ling may just want to make up for his mother, but this kind of sincere companionship happens to be missing from Ai Ling since childhood. We are nothing more than life. Looking for a partner who is connected to the original family. The theme of the movie mixed with perfect love is not too heavy, but after watching it, it makes people think deeply. I hope that every parent who chooses to bring their children to the world can let their children enjoy the enjoyment. His parents love, don’t let him spend his whole life to heal his childhood! I am Xiaoxi, a girl who works hard for her dream!
