Disinterested mediocrity

#影# 2015 "The Hundred-Foot Journey" and "Michelin Love" 6/10 I


want to watch a relaxing and warm romantic drama, but this film does not even erase the traces of the assembly line, and directly put the routine mold on the table: India mixed with France, Food plus inspiration, family love and love, every shot is expected, every emotional outburst is expected, mediocre and uncomfortable.


Forget it, the New Year's Eve is like watching a family festivities movie, just as the director and screenwriter are happy. As for what the audience thinks, the sunk cost of time is already so high, what else can be done except pretending to enjoy it.

    It feels like Director Lasse has already filmed a few cars of this kind of movie like a production line.

The Hundred-Foot Journey quotes

  • Madame Mallory: Oh. Vous m'étonnez.

    [Chuckles]

    Madame Mallory: You have it. Hmm. Your pigeon had it, too.

    Hassan: I know. I knew then, and I know now.

    Madame Mallory: Arrogance.

    Hassan: A chef must lead.

    Madame Mallory: Sharp and cool and hot in the mouth, all at the same time. Do you know how long it takes chefs to learn that? What will Papa say?

  • Madame Mallory: Do any of you know the words to the Marseillaise? Jean-Pierre?

    Jean-Pierre: Of course. It's our national anthem.

    Madame Mallory: Do you know all the words? "Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras. Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes!" "They come to slit the throats of our sons, our wives". Alors continuer Jean-Pierre.

    Jean-Pierre: "Aux armes citoyens, formez vos bataillons, marchons".

    Madame Mallory: And in English, so we can all understand?

    Jean-Pierre: "To arms citizens, from your battalions, let us march. May their unpure blood..."

    Madame Mallory: "Flow in our fields." And that is what it means to be French n'est-ce pas Jean-Pierre?

    Jean-Pierre: Yes.

    Madame Mallory: Well there are other ways to be French. Liberty. Equality. Fraternity.

    Jean-Pierre: Why are you talking only to me?

    Madame Mallory: Because you know who set the fire, don't you?

    Jean-Pierre: Would you surrender to these invaders?

    Madame Mallory: You tell your friends that these bombs have ended a war. They have brought peace. Bravo. You're a chef. I do not pay you to burn things. Take your knives and go.
