有一部電影叫做《一一》，這名字是特別，還是過於空白？在「一就是一」的印象之下，它透露了有關故事的多少？這裏的「一」所承載的敍事空間，和「零」有甚麼分別？「一一」，為甚麼不能由「零零」代替？
《一一》是台灣電影導演楊德昌的遺作，於二零零零年法國康城影展獲得最佳導演獎，亦被英國BBC選為二十一世紀最偉大百部電影之一，同年楊德昌的生命發生了兩件事情，他得知得了癌症，和他將要第一次當父親。
這兩件事情在人生意義上，又是怎樣的「一」與「零」的關係？楊德昌之後以生命最後七年努力創作動畫作品《追風》但未能完成。《一一》面世十七年後才第一次在楊德昌的家鄉台灣上映。二零二零年，香港劇團「非常林奕華」本來要把《一一》搬上舞台，但受疫情影響，本來的計劃改變為分三年推出的「一一三部曲」。二零二一年完成《一個人的一一》，同年，楊德昌的兒子二十一歲。
時代已從過去的「規劃便是王道」來到「隨機應變高於一切」，如果「一」是開始，在它對面也不是零和遊戲的「零」，卻可以是把無常用作催化劑，從而提煉出靈感的「靈」，靈動的「靈」。「靈」與「一」之間，是無限的創造空間，由隨時隨地有所感受，有所嘗試有所反思開始。
當然也可以從把電影《一一》看進去開始。
There is a movie called Yi Yi: A One and a Two. Is this name special or is it a little too empty? With the impression of "one is one", how much does it reveal about the story? What is the difference between the story carried by "one" and "zero" here? Why can't "one" be replaced by "zero"?
Yi Yi was the final movie made by Taiwanese film director Edward Yang before his untimely death in 2007. It won the Best Director Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival and it was also selected by the BBC as one of the 21st Century’s 100 greatest films. In the same year, two things happened to Yang – he learned that he had cancer, and that he was going to be a father for the first time.
What is the relationship between "one" and "zero" and the meaning of these two things in life? Yang worked hard to create the animated movie "Chasing the Wind" in the last seven years of his life, but failed to complete it. "Yi Yi" was released for the first time in Yang's hometown, Taiwan, 17 years after its first release. In 2020, the Hong Kong theatre group "Edward Lam Dance Theatre" originally planned to put "Yi Yi" on the stage, but due tothe restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the stage version was changed to a trilogy to be launched in three years. The theatre work, 14 Variations on the Theme of Yi Yi, was completed in 2021. In the same year, Yang's sonhad his twenty-first birthday .
In this era, being flexible works better than does strict planning. If "one" is the beginning, the opposite is not “zero”. Impermanence can be used as a catalyst, thus refining the "soul” (which is the same sound as “zero” in Chinese) of inspiration. Between "zero" and "one", there is infinite space for creation, starting from anytime and anywhere, trying and reflecting.
Of course, you can also start by watching the movie, Yi Yi.
