rigorous, self-disciplined, restrained, and controlled. A female workaholic who meets someone completely different from her, her life is disrupted, her worldview is changed, her cold heart is warmed and warmed. Softening-this is not a novel and colorful story, it can even be said to be a routine. But this kind of routine still makes people have the patience to sit in the theater for 103 minutes. This requires more than just the curiosity of the beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones after her comeback.
Although it is a remake of the German film "Mostly Martha" (delicious relationship), Americans have the ability to turn any boring, profound German film full of cold mechanical dialectics under German thinking into a brightly colored, passionate Hollywood blockbuster. Just like the heroine in the original film is full of metal, the delicate and exquisite instrument-like kitchen utensils make cooking into a sophisticated experiment, and in "Delicious Relationship", even though Kate has a cool and sullen look , But the magic of Italian cuisine suddenly returned the cooking from the trial of the spirit to the taste of life. Wenders’ famous art boring film "Under the Sphere of Berlin" caused countless audiences to collapse in the theater, but "City of Angels", which was performed by Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan into a warm heart, can earn the audience. Tears and banknotes. The Hollywood-style label in "Delicious Relationship" is as eye-catching as Catherine Zeta-Jones’ figure, and the family and love lines added to it follow the funny baggage step by step to promote the development of the plot, making it destined to be This summer will not be willing to wander between second-tier movies lonely.
In order to render Kate’s image of a strong woman, the film did not use her brains. Whether it was her "raw meat dish" dealing with troublesome customers or her "delicious offensive" dealing with the boss, she set herself those harsh rules: not to talk to neighbors. Being in love, not eating in the afternoon... even the description and description of her by others, let us see a rather typical character. But she was very self-sufficient, even a little arrogantly serious-she lived seriously, worked seriously, took everything around her seriously, organized, slightly neurotic, excellent but lonely. We can always see her tight back at any moment.
My sister's sudden car accident passed away, leaving behind a lonely and helpless child who was traumatized physically and mentally. This became the first turning point in her life. Perhaps it was the unfading fear and unspoken attachment in the child's eyes that moved the strong to hard heart. But compassion alone is not enough. Kate, who has been squeezed by the high-intensity life to forget how to communicate with people normally, can't open Zu'er's heart, and she can't even let Zu'er eat her dishes.
At first glance, Kate is in trouble, but it’s okay. People know that when the princess falls, we just have to hold popcorn and wait for the prince to appear at the right time and at the right place. Especially for this kind of Hollywood movies, the appearance of the prince is inevitable, and what is missing is just an opportunity. Sure enough, when Kate returned to the restaurant, his new partner, Nick, who loves to sing and is a little slutty, appeared. He and Kate are completely two types. He follows the theatrical routine very much. He quarreled with Kate as soon as he came up, and the style of the romantic comedy fell down. The next thing the audience has to do is to watch the screenwriter in detail. Let two people turn their enemies into friends, how to change from hostility to appreciation, from opposition to coordination, and how to be changed by each other.
Although people's attraction was largely attracted by Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was married and had children, we have to admit that time is ruthless, and Catherine's performance did not leave us too much room for praise. The figure is indeed the same as Miaoman, but the scratches of time have more or less left marks on her face.
There is an old Chinese saying that to impress a man’s heart, he must first impress his stomach. This sentence is also very suitable for Kate and Nick. When the foolish Nick first touched Zuer's stomach, we saw the possibility of this hippie man stepping towards the heroine's heart. However, the first foreshadowing of the film appeared here. Obviously Kate's craftsmanship is amazing, but Zuer is resisting, and Nick can easily win. This made Kate a little disappointed. After all, the secret is very simple. A person's stomach is connected to his/her heart to some extent. It is cold and unkind. Even if the food is delicious, it lacks a certain power.
This kind of old-fashioned preaching has long been common in Japanese hot-blooded comics, but it still makes people feel emotional when it looks on the big screen. What kind of victory can be regarded as success? How should the measurement standard of the integration of mind and skill be viewed in modern society? There are thousands of people alienated by high-intensity life pressure and work pressure. There are so many jobs, but there is only one heart. In the face of the "monster" of work, how many people can maintain this kind of happy concentricity like Nick?
But the setting of the heroine Kate is full of interesting value. The beauty of a strong woman is just to set off the fragility behind her strong heart. What makes such a young, beautiful and capable woman alienate into a "work slave" is not the subject of the film, but more and more white-collar women see their shadow in Kate, and their lives are also much more or less. Shao and Kate overlap. Life is a gorgeous robe, but it is covered with a lot of fleas. These fleas make them choose an attitude that is confusing or even keeping others away.
In the movie, don't be confused by Kate's dominance and work strength. Although she is a princess, she is a failed princess. The final victory belongs to the prince Nick who defeated the "monster"-work. The director and screenwriter are not promoting women's autonomy and independence. Even though Kate is a strong group in the workplace, she is still a poor person psychologically and in society: there is no family, no love, and even happiness is not necessarily there. The producers did not express too much praise for Kate’s conscientious and meticulous attitude towards life. They just told countless women in front of the screen the simplest truth-if you can’t find a good man in your life, Just relying on one person's efforts, then you are very likely to become a socially disadvantaged group. If you have to find a footnote to this movie, you can borrow a famous saying from the famous woman Yang Lan: "A good woman will never end unless she finds a good husband." Maybe it's a bit cruel with dark humor, but it's realistic. .
In the film, particularly eye-catching is the actor Abigail Breslin, the actor of Zuer, the girl who made people learn to be strong from frustration in "Little Sunshine", and also in "Delicious Relationship". Out of the ordinary. Her pitiful eyes not only moved Kate, but also the audience. When she was dealing with Kate and Nick like a little adult, she was so innocent and naive, which made people sigh that the power of the younger generation is really powerful, but some people joked that she didn’t know that this little fat girl was filming this movie. Did you gain a few kilograms when it was full of delicious slices?
In contrast, the actor Alan Eckhart’s light is more or less obscured by these two women, but he can tie the stage with a glamorous actress like Catherine. It is not easy, and his previous efforts for low-cost movies have made the industry affirm his acting skills. Last year's "THANK YOU FOR SMOKING" (THANK YOU FOR SMOKING) made him nominated for the Golden Globe Award. All he needs is to get a familiar face in front of more audiences through commercial blockbusters like "Delicious Relationship". So, don't care too much about acting in "Delicious Relations". After all, we watch this kind of film just to make it lively.
Although this is the third gastronomic love comedy this summer after "The Waitress" and "Ratuitouille", the audience is not bored or disgusted now, which shows that it still has its own characteristics. Moreover, the "22 Bleecker" in the movie does not actually exist, but the director interprets this place as full of secular conditions, adding a lot of realistic and human touches other than romance, of course, thanks to the temptation of Italian food. It feels like a few months later, when you wander the streets of New York, you will find such a place on that street corner. Kate and Nick, the happy couple, are arguing and quarreling and serving you a plate of delicious colors, fragrances, and flavors. Feast. Here, let yourself relax and enjoy the surprises they bring to you. At the same time, maybe a prince or princess who has been arranged by God is about to break into your life and call you from that name " "Working" monster was rescued. If you can't go to New York, buy a movie ticket for "Delicious Relationship" and sit in the cinema to liberate yourself, it may not always be a good way to save yourself.
