Yolo

A movie full with delicate portray of emotions, it is quite touching and encouraging.

I'm not saying it is perfect but it is a good feminist movie, telling a story from a completely women's perspective and describing how she break her 10 year low ebb and painful life and become a better person.

The actress herself lost a solid 100lbs makes it perhaps the biggest stunt, but the movie is definitely more than just losing weight. The core is about self-reconciliation. I highly recommend watching it.

Other side is, it is just a movie made by a female director and got some success in China, so I personally don't understand why some Chinese men got so mad that they even come here to write bad review in a group together - the poor wording that is obviously from Chinese-English online translation has made everything even funnier.

I mean, why, what's the point guys.

This is just fun to watch, I never knew these men can be this triggered, maybe this proves YOLO's incisiveness from some point: our Chinese Ken has just been enraged because the success is not men and horses from their mojo dojo casa house🤣

This movie reflects my personal life journey: always trying to back off, to please others, to say fine, till one day I was literally at the edge of the cliff. And I decided to change.

Even though right now I am not anything close to the most successful, the wealthiest, the most famous human being in the world, but I am proud of myself. I am proud of myself learning to say no, to set boundaries, and to have a goal and be laser-focused on my goal.

And, if you are struggling with the feeling that you've tried so hard but nobody appreciates you, I could tell that you are actually a really powerful person as you have so much to give. Just try to focus on yourself and your goal more.

I would recommend it to anybody who is or who was a people-pleaser.

I don't understand why someone would be so malicious about this movie and give it a one-star rating without even watching the full movie. Is it really just because this is a movie directed by a woman, as some viewers in mainland China said? When my parents and I walked out of the movie theater, we both had our own thoughts. Even a chauvinist like my father saw the power of disadvantaged groups in society who long to understand and change themselves. This movie represents the cry of the lower class people in China. It just happened to be filmed by a female director. Of course, this is not necessarily a coincidence.

I was so confused by this movie that I went out of my way to write my first ever review on this site. Basically, what you have here is a very mediocre awkward rom-com for 90 minutes followed by 20 minutes of processing and healing from trauma, followed by the most lovely story told only within the end credits! This last bit was by far the best part of this movie and it has me longing for the longer "behind the scenes" or documentary they could have made out of the actress' real life journey, which was way more moving and affective than the movie itself.

I get the premise and the message here is important, it just didn't feel particularly well told for most of the movie. Maybe this is my bias in not speaking the language and missing something in translation, but it didn't feel that way. This movie clearly has some moving things to say that it finally said at the very end and in the credits. I wish the whole movie had been that way, and then this review would have been a solid 8. As it was, I spent most of the movie reconsidering my decision to see it, and then feeling a little more on board at the end. Overall, this means that I liked it by the end more than I expected to from the first half, but nowhere near as much as I wanted to.

Kudos to the actress/director for her bravery and her commitment to her craft. This was clearly a very personal story for her and that part was indisputably beautiful.

From the content of the Douban short reviews, it seems that most viewers have not seen "Hyakuen no Koi." Personally, I think that "Yolo" as a remake is at least not inferior to the original. The localization of the film is very successful, whether it's the tone, the settings, or the plot. Although I also like "Hyakuen no Koi," Chinese audiences during the Spring Festival still need a more sizzling hot performance. Especially the dialogue between Le Ying and Hao Kun at the end, it has already surpassed "Hyakuen no Koi." The core is about how a person with a self-closed, introverted personality and depressive tendencies gradually finds their existential proposition through collisions with others and society. Boxing and weight loss have become the most superficial symbols, but even so, she still works hard, which should be sincerity. After all, she didn't have to do this.
