The two men's greatest wish is to make more money and realize their "American Dream" through the opening of the restaurant and the presence of customers. Although the two brothers had great ambitions for the joint business, no one cared about it. Seeing that customers all entered other people's restaurants, their own restaurant was facing bankruptcy, so the two brothers thought of a good way to save the restaurant. They tried their best to invite celebrities to prepare a gorgeous dinner, but unfortunately, an accident still happened .

      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...

      Like life

      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...

      BIG FEAST IN BIG NIGHT

      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...
