      Dumplings - eat with caution

      You in the black and white image, who bet your happiness on marriage, twenty years later, can you still remember the three wishes you made when you got married: hope your husband will love you forever, be happy forever, and stay youthful forever? The

      film ends here. Of course, you still remember it, just because you remember, now, you can't face the wrinkles that creep up on your forehead, and your skin is no longer breakable. In your best self Nianhua, when you met a man, you gave up...

      Need so yearning, fear will resist

      I watched the Mandarin version. The amazing thing is that
      if Aunt Mei hadn't seen the cast list, I wouldn't have thought that Aunt Mei was Bailing. I couldn't help but think that this woman might be smart and abnormal in her bones, so her appearance became dissolute. I understand, she doesn't care about

      having to say that when I reach the age of aging, maybe I will try "dumplings"
      without pain, without waiting, "dumplings" nourish women, as if dead bodies nourish flowers...

      i like this kind of movies

      I used to watch horror movies like "The Grim Reaper" that stimulates the brain with blood plasma, but recently I found out that what I really like is this kind of non-terrifying but slightly weird movies, which

      are always eye-opening. I feel, because it always contains one or two weird elements. This "Dumpling" uses baby meat to reflect the weirdness. This is an oriental horror, connotative horror, often such movies. I didn't feel it when I watched it, but after watching it, it often...

      Tradition and Roots

      Dumplings are not as intriguing as home. Both films have the shadow of traditional Chinese characteristics. The discussion at home is about traditional Chinese medicine and life and death. The dumplings discuss the theme of eating baby superstition and the pursuit of eternal youth. Both are the protagonists seeking help from various normal channels in modern society. As a result, I turned to some folk mysterious recipes. Chen made a profound reflection on the situation of traditional culture in...

      Those dumplings must be delicious - not a movie review


          Yesterday, I spent almost a morning watching "Dumplings in Three Shifts 2", and Aunt Mei was very sexy.
          I have never seen a film directed by Chen Guo, and the English given is actually Fruit Chan~ I don't know his consistent style. From beginning to end, "Dumpling" has a gloomy atmosphere in an ambiguous atmosphere, which is quite eye-catching in China. It's a horror movie, and the movie starts to emphasize women. I personally understand that women can condense a lot of...

      I think it can be done a little bit more, this kind of subject matter should be more straightforward, concise and disgusting! ! Bailing is really aura, although Liang Jiahui has not many scenes, but he has enough momentum. After reading it, my appetite increased greatly and I wanted to eat dumplings. It was a bit transparent and looked so...

    Evaluation action

    The psychological thrillers like "Three Watches 2 Dumplings" actually test the actors’ acting skills the most. Among the three protagonists of Yang Qianhua, Bai Ling, and Tony Leung Ka Fai, Tony Leung Ka Fai has the most stable performance. This kind of middle-aged wealthy businessman He played the role with ease. Although most of the roles were passionate sex scenes, he was still serious in acting. In the scene with Bai Ling, he even...

    • Mei, the cook: [first lines]

      Mei, the cook: Mrs. Li? You're so beautiful.

      Mrs. Li: They say your dumplings are the most expensive.

      Mei, the cook: Of course! Please come in.

    • Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.

    • Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
