This man’s movie-watching notes: a desperate move between dream and awakening
The more you watch movies, the more you understand the type of movie you like. As far as I am concerned, I can't do without "family." I'm always fascinated by any family-related movies. This is probably because my home is so beautiful. Every time I think about it, it always brings me happiness. Therefore, talking about "home" is always unspeakable for me. charm.
Strictly speaking, "Banquet" is not a movie that describes "home". He runs a restaurant to talk about the American dream of...

Big Night-A feast of Italian cuisine
Food color is also. I am afraid that the nation that can understand the meaning of this sentence like the Chinese is none other than Italy. Big Night presented a feast of Italian cuisine for the audience. The film tells that in the seaside town of New Jersey in the 1950s, a pair of Italian immigrant brothers Primo and Secondo opened a small restaurant that offers real Italian cuisine-the Paradise. Primo is a master chef with first-class craftsmanship and insists on his ideals. He believes that...

[Last Film I Watched] Big Night (1996) 7.1/10
Little seems to aware that our beloved screen-chameleon Stanley Tucci has a low-profile director career, with five features under his belt to this day, which all started with BIG NIGHT, a food-porn interspersed with fraternal clashes, co-directed with his high-school friend Campbell Scott.
Tucci is a formidable triple-threat in the picture, apart from taking credit in the script...

I rarely watch niche movies unless resources are readily available. This Big Night was contributed by Weibo, so I saved it and watched it that night.
The smooth story, the tacit understanding and familiarity of the two brothers in the kitchen, can hardly feel that this is a performance, as if the camera just entered a restaurant kitchen to shoot.
In the United States in the 1950s, the newly immigrated Italian brothers. The new immigrants’ English, self-confidence in the food of...

LA ZUPPA--Italian soup, ZUPPA in the movie is bright golden yellow, with dots of red minced meat OR sausage? Creamy potatoes? And the green parsley, the expression on people’s faces is infinite satisfaction and intoxication.
I PRIMI---the first dish. In the movie, it is RISOTTO. The chef specially made a green, white and pork liver-colored rice platter. The green color is visually observed. The white one is vegetable risotto, the white one is rice mixed with some kind of fungus and...

Very interesting anti-American dream movie with a sense of...
Secondo: [after handing him a request to make a side order of spaghetti] Primo, please, just... come on.
Primo: I want to know for who.
Secondo: Just make the side order of spaghetti, please.
Primo: Secondo, I want to know for who it is for.
Secondo: [hesitant at first] ... For the lady with the risotto.
Primo: [drops pan on the counter, perturbed] What? Why?
Secondo: She likes starch! I don't know! Come on!
Primo: Bitch!
Secondo: [sighs] I make it myself.
Primo: Nah! Who are these people in America? I need to talk to her.
Secondo: Oh, please, Primo, what are you going to do? Tell the customer what she can eat? Huh? That is what she want. This is what the customer ask for. Make it! Make the pasta, make it, make it, make the pasta! Come on! Let's go!
Primo: How can she want? They are both starch. Maybe I should make mashed potato for another side.
Secondo: [rubs the bridge of his nose, exasperated] Primo, look, don't. Okay? Because they are the first customers to come in two hours. The fucking pipes are...
Primo: [interrupts, walks away and crosses his arms in refusal] No. She's a criminal. I want to talk to her.
Secondo: [fed up] You want to talk to her? Okay. You want to talk to her? That's good. You want to talk to her? Okay. Good. Fine. I'm sick of this every fucking night. Okay? You want to talk to her? Fine.
[walks over to the doorway]
Secondo: Okay, here we go.
[kicks open the door and holds it open to show the lady and her husband sitting at their table right outside, Secondo turns furiously at Primo]
Secondo: Go talk to her!
Primo: [takes a look at the lady] No. She's a philistine. I'm not gonna talk to her. She no understand anyway.
Secondo: [rolls his eyes and walks out to the lady] It will be just a moment.
[with hesitance, the defeated Secondo retrieves a pan to prep the spaghetti, stops for a moment to think, slowly resumes to make the pasta and then out of nowhere he angrily picks up the pan and throws it across the kitchen]
Bob: I have a younger brother. I hate his guts.
Secondo: Why?
Bob: He's cheap.
Secondo: But he's your brother.
Bob: He's a person. I hate cheap people.
[last lines]
[Secondo cooks an omelette and divides it in three plates. He gives one plate to Cristiano and eats one plate. Primo comes in]
Secondo: Are you hungry?
[Cristiano picks up the remaining plate]
Secondo: I'll do it.
[gives the plate to his brother]
