| Yi Yi | comment |
Yi Yi (一一) is a movie by Taiwanese director Edward Yang, which received the Best Direction award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. It depicts a few weeks in the life of an ordinary Taiwanese family, as the various members must each learn to cope with the challenges of life in their own way. As the grandmother falls in a coma following an accident, the father meets his long-lost first love, the mother goes on a spiritual retreat in a Buddhist monastery, the daughter enters a love triangle, and the son asks grown-ups difficult questions.While nothing very eventful takes place, the characters feel like one's own relatives by the end of the movie. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Yi Yi / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: N.J. and Sherry don't end up together and N.J. is still having business troubles, but he can at least be honest with himself that he and Sherry would have never had a future and he would have still married his wife. Ting-Ting's love life is in shambles (and Lili has to deal with her ex murdering her lover) but she's able to be honest with her feelings and say goodbye to her grandmother, as can Yang-Yang in a way after he cultivates his new passion for photography. | |

Love Dodecahedron: Lili's promiscuous mother is having an affair with Lili's English teacher. Lili breaks up with Fatty and starts having her own affair with the English teacher, while Ting-Ting attempts a relationship of her own with Fatty. None of it ends up well. | |

Workaholic: Averted with N.J. who, despite being an obvious candidate for this trope (Asian, mid-level manager in a software company), in fact feels increasingly disconnected from his job. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years | |
| Yi Yi / int_4f773434 | comment |
Wise Beyond Their Years: A downplayed example in Yang-yang. While he's not very book-smart, he seems to be much more perceptive and somewhat more mature than many of the adults around him. His love for taking pictures of people's backs highlights this (it's meant to show them what they never see). | |

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: A-Di is on thin ice with his wife to the point where she briefly kicks him out of the house, right before the disastrous baby party where his ex-girlfriend shows up and his fed-up wife causes a scene. She forgives him after his suicide attempt, though. | |
