Watching this movie, like many people, I was attracted to the opening scene of Lao Zhu's prosperous, complicated and exquisite cooking, and he was so greedy that he ignored many important details. Later, I watched it several times, and gradually gained an understanding and understanding of the role.

Compared with the eldest sister and the younger sister, Jiaqian, the second child in the family, is the most pleasant.
She looks beautiful, and everyone praises it: When Lao Zhujiu came down to her own daughter, she would praise her for being beautiful like her mother; Lao Wen was sick and hospitalized and saw her like seeing her own daughter. Seeing the annoying smasher, Aunt Liang has no impression of the boss and the third, but she remembers the beautiful second.
Hard work, good career: the deputy director of the airline can be the leader at important moments when the company needs it. The messy men in the Amsterdam office may take turns to play. The boss thinks that it is her who can solve the crisis.
Financially independent and dare to assume: the investment in real estate failed, and she did not cry in front of her family; she could smile and laugh at herself in the face of untimely sneers and dispensable and insincere help from her ex-boyfriend: I felt relieved instead.
Good cooking: Although he rarely enters the kitchen when he grows up, he has a family background, and he is born with talent and has a good cooking skills.

Shouldn't such a character get the most happiness?
But it didn't.
Between her family, the relationship between her and her father, Zhu, is not only cold, but also confronts each other from time to time. Several times when my father called her to get up, we could see that there were few moments of tenderness between the two. The elder sister and the younger sister got married and left home. Uncle Wimble died. She was ready to sacrifice herself, become the support of the elderly father, and complete the reconciliation of the two. However, life would not be what she wanted. She was caught off guard by her father's confession at the banquet. She stood against the light in front of the restaurant, watching her father leave with tears in her eyes, and her back was empty and messed up. She has always tried to stay away from her father, working overtime on weekends, saving money to buy a house, and in the end, she was the one who was stayed away.
The eldest sister Jiazhen always makes things difficult for her, cold-faced, thinking that she should take care of her father alone, feeling wronged and lonely, but when she meets a loved one, she gets married quickly, and she seems to have to leave home when she runs away.
The younger sister Jianing is simple and brave, but at a young age, she can't count on her other than taking care of her as best she can.
In terms of love, a beautiful person should be chased by someone, but her love journey is not smooth. Becoming a friend with an ex-boyfriend only has a good body. Once she talks about her feelings, she talks about it: She finished a table of dishes and told about childhood memories, and he just wanted to have sex when he was full. She encountered a series of ups and downs and wanted to confide in her to get approval, but he hesitated and said that I want to get married. It was hard to meet a man who looked good and talkative, and found out that it was the imaginary lover of the eldest sister.
Family relationships and personal emotional issues are not smooth and happy.

Fortunately, she still has a job.
I saw the end of the first two times. She was alone in the fallen leaves, holding the big house with the words "SOLD", holding the family banquet. I don't quite understand. Where can she go if her family is separated?
Later, she learned from the phone call with her brother-in-law that she accepted the company's transfer and went to Amsterdam. In a series of distressing and sad incidents, it is a good thing to be promoted.
In this film about family relationships, especially father-daughter relationships, she and her father failed to resolve all conflicts in the end. They were always separated by a layer, don't you believe it?
Only the father came to the last dinner of the film, which seemed to be a step further, but the details still showed ignorance: the father entered his door obviously without the key and started ringing the doorbell; the daughter opened the door and told her father that you are coming, please come in. , No need to change shoes.

Jia Qian, the female character with the most ink in this movie.
I really want to give her a hug.
Tell Jia Qian, who leaned coldly under the light with tears and saw everyone in a mess and then left, I feel sorry for her.

Eat Drink Man Woman quotes

  • Old Wen: Old Chu, do'nt get upset. Girls eventually leave home. It was bound to happen.

    Chu: I'm not upset. I hope they all move out, so I can have a quiet life.

    Old Wen: Quiet life? I know you. What you want, you can't get. What you don't want, you can't get rid of. You're as repressed as a turtle. That old maid of yours, Jia-Jen, will stick to you for life unless you marry her off!

    Chu: Marry who? Since she lost her asshole college boyfriend she's never looked at another man. You know that.

    Old Wen: And now she has the perfect boyfriend: Jesus Christ.

    Chu: Don't make fun of her religion! How is it that for 30 years I have put up this kind of talk from you?

    Old Wen: The truth is, you should be thankful someone's around to tell the truth.

  • Chu: I don't understand any of them, and I don't want to know. Let them grow up and leave. It's like cooking. Your appetite's gone when the dish is done.

    Old Wen: That's not the worst thing. At least people like your cooking.

    Chu: Honestly, Id' have to give that up if it hadn't been for you lately. My sense of taste is getting worse and worse. My food is only as good as the expression on your face.

    Old Wen: Don't be silly. You rely on your feelings when you cook, not your taste buds. Like that Western deaf composer, called Bee...

    Chu: Beethoven.

    Old Wen: That's right, Beethoven. Good sound is not in the ear, good taste is not in the mouth...and good sex...

    [laughs]

    Old Wen: God knows where!

    Chu: You're drunk!
