Woke up and decided to give this movie a higher score

I watched this movie last night and gave it 4 stars. As a result, I had a dream for one night. It has something to do with eating. I woke up with a laugh in the middle of the night, so I decided to give it 5 stars.

If you just look at the skeleton of this movie, it seems to be a mixture of two Japanese films: 1) Junko's Japanese inspirational style; 2) In the happy yellow handkerchief, a few silly old men circle around a beautiful woman.

If you look at the meat hanging on the bones, it looks like pork belly. 1) The Japanese people's advocacy of law back then is really comparable to the current situation of Chinese petty bourgeoisie. 2) The Japanese people's promotion of roast duck as a local specialty is a bit ridiculous. 3) The Japanese people actually ate all parts. 4) The Japanese people in those days actually renovated the originally good traditional restaurant into a modern style with no special features, and dressed up the pretty beautiful proprietress as a Western-style chef. It's really heartbreaking.

Look at the noodles again, the plot of the movie, turning in the song, intermittently, trembling, steaming. The main line is really clear. There are a lot of twists outside the main line. If you say that there is no departure, it is not a no departure. If there is a departure, it is not clear that the head is there.

Looking at the interspersed seemingly insignificant small materials, it should be the part that gave the film's spirit, energy and fragrance. They show side by side the relationship between eating and beauty, eating and enjoying, eating and sex, eating and family, eating and good, eating and evil, eating and naughty, eating and living, and eating and death. Make you cry suddenly, laugh suddenly, suddenly helpless. Suddenly surprised.

Looking at that bowl of soup again, it seems that the love and love between the two protagonists cannot boil the soup or swallow it warmly. It is not muddy, but it is nutritious. When the other delicacies in the bowl are eaten, the soup is also drunk. And advance.

The soup really drank to his heart's content, but the bowl was empty with emotion. A masterpiece, a bowl of ramen that looks strange.

Tampopo quotes

  • 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.
