I really want to write about my feelings about this movie

First of all, I don't understand religion. I just want to talk about the little bit of feeling in my heart after watching this movie.

In fact, what impressed me the most was the comparison before and after the banquet. The people in the village were worried and afraid-the magic banquet, their horrified eyes and expressions of trepidation.

My focus is not on the above, but on: at a certain gathering before the banquet, the quarrels and contradictions between the villagers, people blame each other and complain each other, they can’t tolerate and forgive each other trivial matters.

During and after the banquet, the villagers changed. Their faces became ruddy and their eyes started to brighten. They marveled at the food under the knife and fork and the fine wine in the glass. They began to smile, they began to forgive each other, communicate and express their feelings. Expressing the joy and love in the heart, as well as the satisfaction with the food, the happiness suddenly bursts in the twin sisters' home. They no longer worry or fear, no longer blame and complain, and they are full of joy and happiness.

Suddenly I began to think about food. I remembered the happiness in the eyes of some of my friends after eating food. This happiness is contagious.

For people, food is no longer just another point of satisfaction, but opens a window of perception and expression in the heart. Food can open people’s hearts. Who says that enjoying appetite is not good, and people should learn to enjoy and perceive them. Only by learning understanding and tolerance.

I love food, and I will always be a happy foodie.

By the way, there is also in the movie: gourmets are also artists, and they also create happiness with people! !

    In a truly classical work, the characters and plot seem extremely simple, and all emotions and sighs are contained in this simplicity. This work is about piety and desire. The residents of small Danish cities seem to be a group of hard-headed ascetics, who need secluded chefs and generals to discover the joys of the world. However, these two chefs and generals who chose to spend their entire lives in this exile are not more extreme ascetic saints?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a concise and timeless movie, and I remembered a sentence I read in a certain article, “You are a Sibelius concerto. The surface is calm, but the undercurrent is surging, and there is a hint of romance.” Probably. The highest state of art is to reach the realm of transformation and stop at the perfection. After watching it, I think of the exquisite frescoes painted by the Jin Dynasty painter Wang Kui for ten years for the remote Yanshan Temple on the outskirts of Wutai Mountain, which should also be the story of Barbet and the two old ladies.
