Loved by scarcity?

As for the movie I watched yesterday, to be honest, I was a little disappointed, maybe because the viewing was not smooth, maybe because the expectations were too high, which led to a feeling of emptiness that urgently needed gluttony after watching it.

The movie "Toast", alias is a tribute to delicious life. I'm a flour lover, and the toast is more of an impulse, and I've been looking forward to a long-awaited movie with a wonderful story.

The story is a memoir of a gourmet (please let me summarize it simply and rudely), a gourmet's childhood lack of understanding of food, his mother's cooking was simple to poor, and she didn't eat fresh things. The most common is toast. Baked browned toast slices, smeared with butter, go down in one bite, pat rub rub, accompanied by a crisp sound, warm butter, fragrant lips and teeth, simple food perfect can bring people the most satisfying enjoyment feel.

As the story goes, the mother died of asthma, the father found a new cleaning aunt to be the stepmother, the male protagonist has a tendency to be gay (peeking at the gardener changing clothes, and finally kissing the landlord's son), in order to win the father's affirmation, participate in the Home economics class, cooking competition with stepmother, father died suddenly, ran away from home...

And the original protagonist of the story appears in the final scene, eating a piece of toast, and the story ends like this. In just over 130 minutes, I have a feeling of scribbled ending. But the content of the toast got a point at the end,
