I have three wishes

First, I want you to love and love me forever;
second, I want to be happy forever;
third, always youthful and beautiful.
This may be the wish that every woman will have, simple, but so extravagant.
So maybe only women can appreciate the deep sadness contained in "Dumplings".
In the movie, Miriam Yeung tells Aunt Mei about the misfortune of marriage: when a man is 20, he likes a 20-year-old woman, when he is 40, he likes a 20-year-old woman, and when he is 60, he still likes a 20-year-old woman. Woman, suddenly remembered a similar joke. The conclusion is: men are more single-minded than women, because they always like young girls.
Aunt Mei's answer was disdain: what's so good about being twenty? Silly B!
In the whole film, only Aunt Mei is qualified to say this, and only she is mentally strong. She doesn't rely on others, she relies on herself.
But no matter how independent a woman is, I am afraid she cannot escape the curse of these three wishes. . .

    The filming is so good, the movement of the mirror is unique and precise, and the rhythm is well controlled. Li Bihua's original work is also very good, and Bai Ling's performance is very good. The piece of material that Bai Ling supplemented was not enough. It was uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it.

    Ironically, the mainland always spares no effort, but women's hearts are not so simple...ps. Why does Miss Yang sound like chewing carrots every time she eats dumplings...

Dumplings quotes

  • Mei, the cook: [first lines]

    Mei, the cook: Mrs. Li? You're so beautiful.

    Mrs. Li: They say your dumplings are the most expensive.

    Mei, the cook: Of course! Please come in.

  • Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.
