Home-cooked dishes can also be turned around

I have always felt that the beginning of the film and television is very important. At the beginning of the film, the scene of Chef Zhu cooking with flowing water and flowing water firmly caught Ben's eyeballs. It is really a visual feast.

The story revolves around the family of Chef Zhu and his three daughters. They lose their sense of taste after retiring at home. The estrangement between father and daughter and the sudden death of old friends make Lao Zhu a little bit depressed. Visitors may all envy the three sisters' loving feast every Sunday, but the people in it may not be conscious of blessings.

At first glance, the movie looks dull. In fact, contrast and reversal are everywhere. The second daughter has been looking forward to leaving home, but for various reasons she finally became the only one left and inherited her father’s business. However, the eldest daughter who seems to be conservative in the family suddenly flashed into marriage and can’t wait to stay overnight. Leaving home, the biggest reversal comes from Lao Zhu, who is usually serious and silent. When he announced his love in the evening, he surprised a table of people and the audience. Gui Yalei's performance before and after was quite interesting and also contributed to the laughter.

In the end, the dramatic recovery of Lao Zhu's sense of taste is actually an attitude conveyed by the film. I feel that Ang Lee's film is hard to know the whole picture after watching it, and it is worth tasting and tasting.

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!
