I don't know how this novel is, but this movie didn't touch me much. Some of the plots I want to see have no ups and downs. Except for the warmth between the mother and the first half, there is only the struggle with the father and stepmother. For the little boy, it is a linear and flat narrative. After watching it, I just think oh, that's it.
The interaction between the boy and his mother at the beginning of the movie should be considered a warmer part. The mother's cooking skills are terrible but gentle. Just a simple toast can make the boy feel full of happiness. The father should love his mother, but he almost With all the characteristics of ordinary fathers, they are careless and impatient, have opinions but also hold back in order not to hurt their loved ones. Perhaps it was the mother's poor cooking skills that caused the seeds of the chef's dream to quietly float into the male lead's heart.
His mother died of asthma, and the boy's resistance to that cleaner and his nostalgia for the days when he danced with his mother made people feel the rebelliousness and longing for love at that age. But there's nothing too exciting here. Rejecting the favor of his father and stepmother, he has been cooking to fight against his stepmother. In fact, I don't think that boys learn to cook entirely out of hatred for their stepmother. Boys have always liked cooking in their hearts. Besides, the stepmother's reaction to the boy was extreme but understandable. At that time, a cleaner from a humble background suddenly stepped into the middle-class family of her dreams. Her cowardice and desperate fear of losing are understandable, not to mention that he abandoned him. The original family, in the UK in the past, was unruly and would be hanged. It was also said in the movie that otherwise, they would not move, but the situation might be serious but they would not be hanged. She was afraid that her position would be shaken when the male protagonist did what she should have done, and that she would be kicked out of the house if she was not needed. In fact, she was a little too sensitive. Later, she saw that she also had a family and would miss the old days after arguing with the boy, wondering if she made a wrong choice.
The male protagonist's reaction to his stepmother was understandable when he was a child, but when he grew up, he felt a little incomprehensible when he changed to such an awkward struggle. After all, the stepmother has worked hard to take care of her for several years, and the house is well organized. Every day is delicious and delicious. Just relying on the well-prepared food that is different every day is such a happy life, why does the male lead still feel unsatisfied , Is the attitude towards the stepmother still so indifferent? Although the stepmother was born in a lowly, but fortunately, she is not pretentious. She knows the gap with others, but she is not ashamed, but can find her own position. Faced with optimism, I feel that such a true temperament is much better than those who pretend to be noble. . Later, when the boy's father died and ran away from home, leaving behind his sad stepmother, I couldn't understand it even more. I feel that the potential of the protagonist's deep exploration is not as good as that of a supporting role.
As for the relationship in the movie, it was also taken carelessly. The first time it was just a face-to-face meeting, and the second time we met after a few words, there was an affectionate kiss, and it seemed that the boss's son still had a girlfriend? This love has come and gone too fast...
For the main theme of the article, there is nothing to be commended about the cooking. The only twists and turns are the ridicule from the girls and the stepmother not giving the recipe. After that, there is nothing to describe, a story about how a boy grows into a top chef. In the movie, I can't find any wonderful clips about cooking. It can only be said that the soul has been lost.
Combined with the movie title Toast, there really isn't much to see aside from the opening title of the boy toasting toast, a substitute for his mother's meal of failure. To say that there are more easter eggs is that the chef who took in the male protagonist at the back is the author of the novel.
Anyway, it's a pity, there are no ups and downs, it's a story that can't be flat anymore, maybe this is what the real world looks like
