Japan's "Dandelion" is the first movie I saw at this year's Beijing International Film Festival. It seems to be a movie in the past eight years. I read the introduction before and knew that it was a story about food. I was still looking forward to it. Because I watched Japanese animations before, such as Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, every time I saw boiled instant noodles, I thought it was delicious, so I thought it must be a warm and happy film.
As a result

The main line of the film is of course the story of how tampopo makes the ideal ramen. Ramen is a mass food, but even mass food can strive for perfection, whether it is the taste of the soup, the texture of the noodles, or the meticulous service. But anyway, ramen is common people food after all. In contrast, the man in white in the film represents the aristocracy and was shot to death in the end, indicating the end of the era of food aristocracy in the eyes of director Itami San. In... A movie worth chewing over and over

"Dandelion": Food Love in the Passionate Continent
The most touching thing in a person's life is that my mother used her last breath to cook egg fried rice for you...
Every legal holiday is a good time for parents to throw away their books and go to the streets to eat, drink and have fun. However, during the holidays in recent years, before seeing enough great rivers and mountains, everyone has been submerged by the sea of cars and dragons. However, if you can't visit the beautiful scenery and eat...

People need to eat more good things, so that they will taste more delicious things.
The movie is more fragrant than the stills, and it is also fuller than the thin plot introduction. Intersecting linear narrative, Yakusho Koji's food color, Miyamoto Nobuko's single mother ramen master, Okada Moliko's "correct" way of eating pasta, Hashizuo Gong's "little brother with a bag is a real gourmet", disguised Cheng University professor cheated and was seriously ill after finishing the last supper. Masahiko Tsugawa's tactile female thief said one by one that the movie is very...

Regarding food, the Japanese understanding can be described as an alternative and unique. The most representative Japanese specialties "food" can be seen from this film.
The first is the "exhaustion of human resources", which is developed through the long-distance freight driver Hei Lang helping the single mother Dandelion learn to make ramen. This thread is typical Japanese food movie style. In order to make a bowl of ramen "so that customers don't even have a drop of soup...

In fact, the story of the noodle shop accounts for less than 2/3, and the remaining 1/3 is the highlight of the gourmet food. The whole feeling is like a long and short story about eating and drinking. The opening is nested in three layers. That's enough, at the end, the woman's breastfeeding is very ingenious, and the food is also sexual! At the cinema's concession stand, I bought ramen-flavored popcorn specially made for this film...

Around the theme of "eating", a series of inexplicable episodes have been derived. It was the first time I saw Koji Yakusho when he was young. He had a very strong aura, and he was really different from the gentle middle-aged images later...

Japanese food life, all aspects of food and life, ukiyo-e style, a mix of multiple small melodramas, it is really a very delicious...
Man in White Suit: I'll kill you if you make that noise once the movie starts! Understand? And... I also don't like watch alarms going off.
Student of ramen eating: [voiceover] One fine day... I went out with an old man. He's studied noodles for 40 years. He was showing me the right way to eat them.
Student of ramen eating: Master... soup first or noodles first?
Old gentleman: First, observe the whole bowl.
Student of ramen eating: Yes, sir.
Old gentleman: Appreciate its gestalt. Savor the aromas. Jewels of fat glittering on the surface. Shinachiku roots shining. Seaweed slowly sinking. Spring onions floating. Concentrate on the three pork slices. They play the key role, but stay modestly hidden. First caress the surface with the chopstick tips.
Student of ramen eating: What for?
Old gentleman: To express affection.
Student of ramen eating: I see.
Old gentleman: Then poke the pork.
Student of ramen eating: Eat the pork first?
Old gentleman: No. Just touch it. Caress it with the chopstick tips. Gently pick it up and dip it into the soup on the right of the bowl. What's important here is to apologize to the pork by saying "see you soon." Finally, start eating-the noodles first. Oh, at this time, while slurping the noodles, look at the pork.
Student of ramen eating: Yes.
Old gentleman: Eye it affectionately.
Student of ramen eating: [voiceover] The old man bit some shinachiku root and chewed it awhile. Then he took some noodles. Still chewing noodles, he took some more shinachiku. Then he sipped some soup. Three times. He sat up, sighed, picked up one slice of pork-as if making a major decision in life-and lightly tapped it on the side of the bowl.
Student of ramen eating: What for?
Old gentleman: To drain it. That's all.
Old gentleman: Tampopo! Congratulations!
