一邊是湘西深山裡和寡言父親相依為命的男孩林生,一邊是北京國際學校上學的女孩欣媛與她剛歸國的母親。兩個毫不相干的世界在鏡頭下重疊,勾勒出一幅中國當代社會圖像。「窮人的孩子早當家」,林生從小便幫助父親務農,照顧弟弟,好心人資助他唸書,本以為可以藉此改變命運,但現實沒有那麼簡單。物質生活富足的欣媛卻也有難言之痛,面對分離多年的母親,她拒絕叫一聲「媽媽」。導演記錄下的最現實最透徹的社會問題,遠非一項調查數據所能概括和解決。而林生在片尾用蹩腳的普通話講出的一段心裡話,展現出了他背負了這個年紀本不應當背負的沈重,更令人心痛落淚。
Starting life as a gallery installation before becoming a feature documentary, Look Love is director Ye Yun’s heartbreaking study of two outwardly different yet surprisingly similar children. In Hunan, Linsheng attends a public school and lives a life of poverty with his alcoholic father and two younger brothers. In Beijing, Xinyuan attends an expensive boarding school while her mother jets to and from Spain for work. Two children are given the best education their parents can in hopes of a better future. Two children are alone and rebellious, longing for understanding from their distant parents. In these parallel lives, the powerlessness and disaffection of contemporary Chinese youth can be found.
