As a food lover, a famous foodie, seeing a movie of this theme is half of the original cast of "Iron Man", and the stars are teamed up. It is inevitable that a lot of personal preferences are mixed. But the people regard food as their heaven, and the pursuit of food is the most instinctive feelings of human beings, and it is also one of the origins of human continuous evolution, so the exploration of the essence of food and the true meaning of life are naturally integrated together, food, wine, and singing Laughter, warmth and inspirational, how can it not make people moving.
The film tells the story of a chef who was once full of creativity and passion, compromised by mediocrity and conservative, and was criticized by public opinion and involved in a scandal of scolding war. When his career and family ushered in a double trough, he opened a double of food and life without exception. Explore the journey, rediscover yourself, the story of food and the true meaning of life. With inspirational light comedy as the outer cover, the core of a road film is nested, and the essence of "America on the Tip of the Tongue" is filled in the middle. Each unit itself is not very novel to look at individually, but the genre and structure of this "sandwich" The seamless combination of the film's form, spirit and body, the final is this pleasing and delicious movie.
Of course, the most eye-catching element is the food, but unlike the "Tongue" series of documentaries, food is not the protagonist of the movie, but just a medium for shaping characters, conveying values, and increasing the visual appreciation of the movie. Before the rich and colorful and irresistible gluttonous feast, the director took extra restraint and never wasted a second to focus on the close-up. As an audience, he is always deliberately placed in hunger and anticipation by the director, and he is still trying to taste the humanistic feelings after the delicacy. Therefore, the chef’s knife work features at the beginning, we were amazed by the character’s skill and level; the pasta production in the middle, we were moved by the chef’s passion and enthusiasm that the chef did not meet his talents; the back-end dining car sandwiches must be compared, and we are immersed. The chef is serious about food and expects his children. So from the Michelin-grade traditional dishes being scorned by critics, to the end of the grassroots sandwich dining car popular in the United States, we also understand that this is just the director conveying his own understanding of food and life-real food comes from sincerity and Love. No matter how expensive and complicated the dishes are, they are nothing but rubbish without their love. After ordinary understanding and sincerity, they are delicious dishes. Does it coincide with the "Tongue" series again?
The so-called food truck food journey, even if it crosses the east and west coasts and includes American customs and food culture, it is only the surface layer of the road film exploration journey, and its core is without exception a search for self-worth and life direction at a low point. The contradictions and importance between friendship, family affection, family, world, dreams, and reality gradually became clear during the journey, and the chef also made a logical choice to balance everything.
The whole exploration journey is a bit more romantic and less difficult and set, making the story relatively detached from reality. It may be something that can be improved in the story, but the inspirational effect is fully strengthened, and it is not a waste of food and comedy. Combine these two beautiful images.
The soy sauce cameos of the two superheroes "Iron Man" and "Black Widow" can be regarded as stealing a lot of limelight. In particular, every line of Robert Downey Jr. (inexplicably) makes the audience laugh. How much American audiences like this "clown". Also worth recommending is the original soundtrack of this film, from the classic "I want it like that" by veteran Boogaloo singer Pete Rodriguez to the Grammy-supported rookie Gary Clark Jr. The black brother who wasted a second, but repeatedly gave close-ups to his Austin live), the soul journey of Latin and black music.
