Title Us and Them Spoiler
I watched this movie a two weeks ago and I really didnt like it but i still gave it a pretty high rating because the cinematography was to my taste and the start was decent. However, I've been strangely thinking about this movie a lot recently- about how Qing and Xiao Xiao didnt end up together because Qing was "living" in the future while he was in the present. For example, he was ignoring Xiao Xiao when they were together because he was unsatisfied with their current conditions and when he finally achieved success he went back to Xiao Xiao to get back together with her but she refused. It was too late at that point. What Qing never realised was that Xiao Xiao didnt care if they were living in a filthy cramped poverty or a glamourous modern apartment. All she wanted, was to experience life with him. This stuck with me because I've always thought that my life and my family's life would be better if I achieved success in the future and I often deny myself things because I dont feel like my current self is deserving of it but what I think I failed to realise is that if I keep trying to live in the future, I'll miss the life experiences that really matter to me. So this movie has given me an epiphany of some sort. Still only rating this an 8 because I wasnt feeling the romantic chemistry.
