Food

The people regard food as their heaven. I have always recognized and even practiced. I have always enjoyed the state of dealing with things in the kitchen. The feeling of slowness, step by step, from preparing the necessities and ingredients to washing and cutting vegetables, to boiling water, heating oil, cooking, and stir-frying...

The kitchen was full of food all at once, even if I didn't eat it, it was full of satisfaction, no regrets no matter how tired or suffering.

Well, back to the point, the film. As a foodie who loves food, I feel it at the beginning of the film. The hot oil pan, the skillful chopping technique, the fragrant delicious food is out of the pan...

In fact, Master Zhu's hard work at home to cook these delicate foods is nothing more than hoping for harmony and happiness in the family.

However, the hearts of the older generation and the younger generation are naturally different, and there is a "generation gap" in consciousness and values.

Gradually, the children grow up and become families, have their own focus, and forget the people the family originally relied on. Their focus is on love, life, work, and society, and the family's time in their hearts is getting smaller and smaller. But the life of the elderly is gradually getting smaller and smaller, and gradually there is only home.

In fact, no one is willing to stay at home for this whole life, but the reality is like this.

In the camera, a father and three daughters. A Christian who has been hit by a university and languished, a smart, stubborn and strong woman who can only have a lover but not a lover, and a ignorant girl who has just fallen in love with someone else's boyfriend. The four experiences, which slowly unfold in the diet, are not just a few simple stories, but more of a kind of culture, a kind of emotion, and a kind of reality.

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!
