Isn't the gutsy thoughts that flow through the food more filthy than the bloody ingredients on the table?

The difference in pursuit: the priest's daughter is devout and pure and the ordinary gentleman's pursuit of lust The difference between material and spiritual: a general who has become famous and rich in material but lacks in spirit, and returns to the place of young beauties after 30 years The general looks at the young beauty who is now enjoying this delicious meal but doesn't know how to taste it. What he feels is that his vision has improved, but the mood of pursuing love in his youth has disappeared. He has indeed gained it but also lost it. (Gained material but also lost a lot) The beautiful woman (old woman) looked at the young man at that time (the current general) and looked at herself drinking, and drank a few more sips. The movements were indeed elegant, but in the eyes of the general, the beauty was still She is beautiful, but she doesn't understand the beauty of food, she is so rude, she doesn't know how to say it. At the same time, the other ordinary people at the feast have always emphasized that this is the 100th anniversary of the pastor's birth. We should not look at those evil ingredients and close our senses of smell and taste, just as the pastor said, dear brothers and sisters, The only thing we can take away from our present life is what we give up. Dear brothers and sisters, the afterlife will be rich. (And isn’t this exactly the comfort that we can’t get now? To pray for the unknown afterlife, it’s better to live a good life in this life. We don’t need to think about whether a good life is not with us. Living well in the present is the most practical thing. They are all looking forward to the pastor’s teachings, which are only comforts and cannot be regarded as beliefs. Otherwise, it will be a double emptiness of spirit and material. If you live well now, you will be rich in spirit.) But in the end, the villagers all rejoiced at this feast. Because of the beauty of this meal, they have changed their hypocrisy when they are old and dead, and they have gained a more physical and mental experience from the feast, and a more extensive kindness. Kindness meets truth, justice and bliss kiss each other for this delicious feast. Chef Barbett came to Denmark from France, which was brutally ruled, and started an experience as a maid, but the connection with France is the annual lottery. Once she won 10,000 francs, but she just spent it on the ultimate meal, in order to satisfy her lifelong desire, and then continued to work as a maid in Denmark with no savings. This is a different annotation from the aforementioned, material and spiritual. My understanding is that no matter what the level of matter is, we should try our best to be rich in spirituality under the existing conditions to improve materiality, but Babette achieves spiritual perfection through a lucky moment of material abundance. It is enough to wrap the belly. This kind of life attitude is not shared by everyone, but if it were me, maybe I would not have spent all my material savings for the sake of spiritual fulfillment. letter

Babette's Feast quotes

  • Swedish Lieutenant: Lorens, how can a lieutenant of the Hussars let himself be defeated and disarmed by...

    Young Lt. Lorens Löwenhielm: By some long-faced sectarians who can't even afford salt for their soup? I can't forget the image of that lovely maiden.

    Swedish Lieutenant: You're a dreamer, Lorens.

    Young Lt. Lorens Löwenhielm: But I'd prefer to be like you. I will forget all that happened on the west coast. From now I shall look forward, not backward. I will think of nothing buy my career and someday I will cut a brilliant figure in the great, wide world.
