It's been a month since I watched this film. Even though I was so tired that I reduced my appetite to the level of instant noodles, I still have to talk about delicious food.
The first time I watched a gourmet movie was Lee Ang's "Diet Men and Women". It started with a section of cooking, which was both tempting and frightening: those bullfrog legs struggling in boiling water and the eldest mother who was beheaded by a knife. The reason why human beings are civilized and different from the animals in the wilderness is that they are very clever to completely separate slaughter and eating-violence in the kitchen and elegance in the dining room are two worlds. The big meal served can make people feel gorgeous, warm, and imaginative, but it can't make people think of the violent nature of "animal corpses".
Animals are edible. The Indians were grateful when hunting animals, and kept time for the animals to be born and raised in accordance with the laws of the seasons. They drank the last breath of their prey and believed that the animal’s soul could rest in their bodies.
Civilization is to nurture a sense of morality in food.
Pulling away.
The dining table in "Eating Men and Women" is not only about food, but also a place for family communication. All decisions are made on the dining table;
the KGB critics in "Ratuitouille" will burst into tears after eating the stew with the taste of hometown. The memory was awakened, and the food surpassed the sense of time-back to the time;
"Babette's Feast" used abundant food from afar to make the Puritan-like residents of the conservative town a trip of taste-as if they were in France , On the other hand, is a journey of taste. Food makes perception transcend the space—extend beyond the body;
Chocolat and Como agua para chocolate, no matter the brisk and moving love idyll, or the wild magic realism that spreads horizontally and horizontally, and the magical chili fever The quail marinated in chocolate and roses makes the imprisoned libido gush out-the female body and food are symbols of evil thoughts. In the dictatorship, desire is a great challenge. It destroys the nerves of strict self-denial of hypocrites and Puritans with a destructive force, because every extension of perception expands the boundaries of the spirit-taste liberates humanity!
When the food arrives in "The Waitress", its perceptual level is gradually rationalized-food has become an adjective.
Jenna writes with taste: "Hate Husband Pie", "Tough George Pie", "I don't want this kid Pie"-Pie's diary; and "Mermaid Pie" and "Naughty Pumpkin Pie" are as touching as love poems. ;Her mother has done hundreds of different kinds of pie. "Car Broadcasting School" and "Lonely Chicago School" are more like some jazz.
Jenna is aphasia in the patriarchal world. She is extremely obedient to everyone: whether it is a rude and authoritarian husband, a difficult customer, an obsessive lover or a demanding shopkeeper: "OK" "Of course" "Yes" is her only language, and only Pie represents Jenna's thoughts. Her expression of each emotion is not in words, but in thinking of the process of making a pie-bacon or chocolate, banana or nut, all taste and aroma are vocabulary, all pie are her articles.
And all men are obsessed with Jenna's pie and can't stop in Jenna's taste world. Unlike Tita's magical and wild food and Vinne's chocolate, Jenna's pie is more realistic. When her husband Earl ate "hate Earl Pie" and hummed with satisfaction, that scene was ironic, helpless and sharp black humor.
Only Old Joe has a wonderful description of Jenna’s pie: at first it was the aroma of exotic spices, charming and confusing; then it was chocolate, which was bitter and unstoppable; at the end, it was strawberry, which was very sweet, just like digging into life. The true meaning of it. Old Joe woke up in the morning and began to look forward to such a pie, because he believed that this pie could answer all the problems in life. Old Joe was the first reader of Jenna's Pie, and he saw through the Pie that Jenna's heart was so different.
In addition to food, this is also a relaxing and comfortable female film. Adrienne Shelly’s style is simple, natural and cute: Jenna hears Handel’s Messiah when she kisses her lover, and when she sees a super tricky devil kid Hearing Wagner's Valkyrie, the magical brush made people laugh.
In addition to the very cute weird old man Old Joe, the cute one is also the demanding shopkeeper Cal; the most terrifying is Earl, selfish, incompetent and violent and authoritarian. In the end, the scene in which Jenna denounced him was extremely enjoyable.
PS: The mother and daughter skirts of Jenna and her daughter Lulu are really super Q-I really want a daughter!
