Food is one of the beautiful things that people are born to pursue. The whole movie uses food as a series to connect the plot and love. From the beginning, the male protagonist enters their lives by cooking for the female protagonist and the female protagonist's mother. This is love. The beginning of the story; until the female protagonist became pregnant out of wedlock, the male protagonist cooked her food and took care of her as before, giving her the feeling of returning home from a long trip. This is a continuation of love; finally, after the male protagonist died, the female protagonist and Daughter cooking together, this is a legacy of love.
The memory of family happiness is often at the dinner table. There are home-cooked dishes made by parents with great care, chatting and laughing at the dining table, and the tacit understanding of consciously picking up the leftovers after meals... These simple and warm bits and pieces are pieced together. A happy image of our family.
happiness
The heroine's mother gave birth to the heroine before she was married. When the heroine was a child, the heroine's mother was terminally ill. The doctor estimated that she had only six months to live, and the hero was just invited by the father who had never met the heroine. The chef, along with cooking, he integrated into the family step by step. Under the careful care of the male protagonist, the female protagonist's mother miraculously survived for six years. The female protagonist's biological father did not give her any love, and gave them only six months of living expenses, no care, no company, and a chef (the male protagonist) who came to the house to cook not only took on the responsibility of the male protagonist. Responsibility of the master, and also leads by example to teach the hostess the concept of love and boundaries. In fact, many Chinese parents and children express love through control and intervention. Parents intervene in their children's work, marriage, and life in the name of love. The relationship between the male and female protagonists has their own boundaries. He left the hostess' house every night after finishing the housework. He never revealed any private life, and even his identity as a jazz musician was only made public at the final funeral.
After the death of the heroine's mother, the heroine left home to go to college, and the heroine also repeated the same story as her mother. She was homeless and had no choice but to live in the hero's house, and the hero also went from I didn't ask the heroine any personal questions, but driven by strong curiosity and worry, the heroine stepped over the limit and inquired about the male lead's privacy, which completely angered the male lead and touched his bottom line. A gentleman turned into a hysterical reckless man and drove the heroine out of the house. The heroine drove around helplessly, and almost had a miscarriage in an accident. The hero appeared in time in the hospital, and took the family's help. Identity continues to take care of the heroine. After the birth of the heroine's daughter, the three happy people cook, read, play music together, and this small family becomes even sweeter and happier.

Regarding love and boundaries, the male protagonist and the female protagonist have their own space and privacy for each other. They both adhere to the principle of safeguarding the freedom of both parties and are connected on the grounds of love. The female protagonist does not know the male protagonist's childhood, but she can feel it. The other side of the male protagonist's vulnerability after being drunk can also feel that he is not as sunny and happy as he sees on the surface. The name of the store that the hostess knows—he plays jazz BAR), carefully caring for each other in his own way, they take care of each other's feelings, accompany each other, accept each other's worst times, keep boundaries, moderate love, comfortable is as natural as breathing.
Ordinary sincere
In addition to the main line between the male and female protagonists, the whole movie also has other supporting roles. In the movie, there is a girlfriend of the heroine who has always experienced contempt in childhood and is inspired to become a rich person, but she is not happy after the real realization; there are shadows on driving and life after being hit by a car accident, and they are ready to commit suicide but because they saved the heroine. The female protagonist classmate who finds her true self in the future; some are unhappy because they know that one day they will leave, but they want to know more about the female protagonist's mother... The little characters in these movies are the most common in real life. We are not flamboyant, but more of a simple life embellished with some small wonderful things, there are regrets for what we want, and there is disappointment that there is a gap between the imagination and the imagination after getting it... But this sincere and warm plot is like the wind blowing reeds The same, it makes people sway inside, slightly, but very moving.
continue
For death, many people avoid talking about it, but I think death is not the end, but a continuation and inheritance. From the silent exchange of glances between the hero and the heroine at the funeral of the heroine's mother, to the silent exchange of glances between the heroine and the daughter at the funeral of the heroine, the narration in these two scenes is the same: "In the face of death, people Behaving differently. Some people, they talk to you about everything except the dead person; some people, they only talk about the dead person; some people want to make you happy; Some people don't say anything, because they don't have to say it, you know it all." This is a continuation of love, including the cooking of the bishop and the mistress, to the cooking of the bishop's daughter. This is the continuation and inheritance of love. Love never stops because of death, and what remains does not die.
return

The scars in his heart were only clearly visible when he was drunk, but his heart was soft and delicate. worm", he kept chasing and searching, until one day he walked into a small family with a woman and a little girl, and he stayed. The male protagonist has always been like a natural and refined gentleman. Even when he left, he was as calm as ever. The female protagonist held his hand tightly. He closed his eyes tightly, and his face was peaceful and serene. He changed back to the little boy and caught the ladybug that belonged to him.
