is undoubtedly a lazy person who was smashed by the eighteen-year-old Haimer to write a film review. So before making serious comments, please allow me to use something that is not so nasty. Ways to vent the aunt's full of lust.
As an uncle, I have always been incompetent with Zhengtai's aesthetics, so when I watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", I only looked at my sister Depp and ignored little Haimer. However, the Haimer in "Toast" was eighteen years old. Leaving the team of Zhengtai, it is like a daffodil waiting to be released, dignified, noble, and full of abstinence. In the film, the flat sweaters and jackets, the tightly buttoned tops, and the slender figure of Heimer convey the message of "please throw" everywhere. How calm is this! ! (You really have enough. The
second depressive
film is about the story of the male protagonist’s childhood. If you have to use one word to summarize this childhood memory, it is [depression]. The suppressed yearning for food due to the mother’s poor cooking; because Father’s suppressed youthful desire (the male protagonist is calcium and has a love for the handsome gardener); the desire for family affection due to the death of his mother and his father’s remarriage.
Repression created the male lead’s perseverance, and perseverance made him experience After all the pain, he broke the cocoon and turned into a butterfly, "becoming the person I want to be"-a gourmet, a homosexual who came out publicly, and in a sense, a harlot in life. ==
The third gourmet
Food is certainly pleasing to the eye, but in this hard-working movie, food is not just a seductive vase, but the focal point of conflict. In the first half of the movie, some of the protagonists protested because of the poor food at home (of course it was relatively soft) , But reluctantly gave up after trying to no avail (Oh, when the male protagonist made the pasta for the first time, his parents behaved strangely. The father said "the taste is strange", and the mother fell ill directly, but the male protagonist himself thinks "the taste is good" , Are psychological factors causing the adverse reactions of the parents? I didn’t understand it here = =).
Until the father was with a vulgar but skilled female cleaner, the food even became the weapon of the male protagonist and the stepmother fighting for the father, which indirectly led to the death of the father. (It is not explicitly stated here, but the sudden death of the father should be related to obesity, high blood sugar and other diseases. There was a foreshadowing about the father’s overeating before, and the male protagonist also said to the stepmother, "This is all your fault.")
The third biological mother The biological
mother with the stepmother is undoubtedly the man's favorite person, so that when she finally ran away from home, she only took the biological mother's single photo (not the family portrait) and the ventilator, and did not take other family members' belongings. It can be seen that she is a typical good wife and mother-like woman (out of cooking), dignified, quiet, and gentle. Father loves his mother undoubtedly, but subconsciously, he also longs for a sexy woman who can be a good cook. Although the mother died, she still deeply affected the father and the male lead, which brought a deep sense of crisis to the stepmother.
The stepmother played by Helena (Sister Hai is really here... plump, and the acting is as good as always. It seems that Haimer's acting is jerky if you play with Haimer ==) is a bit vulgar, with a bad background [ Inferior people], but very good at housework. Although she successfully infiltrated this middle-class family, she could not find a sense of security in this family-she could never replace the late mistress in the position of husband and stepson . So she could only renovate and fill the tables of both father and son with a variety of delicacies-this is indeed very effective, and the protagonist who has always rejected her has lived with her in peace for several years (and also washes the dishes together, although A little reluctant, but the contradiction has obviously eased). But when she found that the stepson had gotten a day's points, she became restless, mean, and furious. She was afraid that the stepson would be a threat to her [status], so she almost madly made various desserts for her father to divert his attention. However, it led to the well-known tragedy.
The four friends of ORZ
are the dark line of this film. In fact, there is no real love involved in the film. I prefer to regard the plot of the spoiler as the repression and release of the male protagonist's nature.
When the male protagonist had just germinated his obscure affection for the same sex, the father strangled him in a tough and almost cruel way (and the mother acquiesced to his father’s behavior, which probably indicated that his parents were quite disgusted with GAY), which led to this behavior. The male protagonist has stronger dissatisfaction with his father and fear of his own nature.
In the second half of the film, the lucky man with soy sauce (the kiss of the rice-grained Haymer...uncle you earned it) is actually the key person who encourages the protagonist to recognize himself. Many people feel that this kiss is inexplicable, without beginning or end, love will not come so fast, and it will leave silently. Of course, this is not love.
When the male protagonist first saw the soy sauce man, the camera mainly stayed on his cooking hand, and then the man himself, indicating that the male protagonist was only attracted by his cooking skills, coupled with instinctive yearning. Girls look at handsome guys on the street more...). But the soy sauce man found in his eyes that he is gay (I guess here, after all, they don’t have much other contact), so out of kindness to encourage this beauty (this is the main reason) and the timid boy mustered courage Find the true self. And it really worked. (Soy sauce guy looks like he has a girlfriend? Anyway, his feelings should be sympathy, love and pity, etc.)
The
director's handling of the fifth and last ten minutes is not clever, and the ending contains too much information. It takes ten minutes. The communication is not enough, so the ending feels hasty and inexplicable. The following are some of my conjectures about the ending.
The death of the father is a turning point in the life of the male protagonist. The scene of the male protagonist packing up his luggage in his room has complex feelings, pain (not only hate to his father, this should not be said), hatred (to stepmother), and despair. ,relief. Such a complicated inner drama is obviously too difficult for Haimer, and Haimer's performance gives me the feeling of forbearance and confusion (oh...and idiots, let’s skip this), a bit stiff. There are also the last two smiles, which are really charming (¯﹃¯)... But still, lack of connotation. You know, how sad the freedom gained in exchange for the death of my father is just like the feeling that graceful episode gave us.
Yesterday when i was young……Recalling childhood, always sad.
As for the end, the movie did not say what the future of the male protagonist is. I think this treatment is quite appropriate, because everyone knows well—becoming a national treasure-level foodie in the UK, it is very likely that you have met a good man. If you shoot again It would be superfluous to come out, although I also want to watch Heimer make a base-breaking scene... (Enough for you
============= At the
end of the above , I would say "Heimer is such a beautiful child!!" Auntie wants to change sex!!!"
