uncover memories

Different from "Little People", which is old and strong, this work faces the past and present in the way of memory and nostalgia. The use of medium shots and masking makes the audience look at it from the perspective of a bystander, and with a slight low-level elevation shot, the viewer seems to be the pig. Most of the story scenes take place in the dark night and the secret room (including the car). On the one hand, the funds are limited, and on the other hand, it also implies that the two protagonists and supporting characters are trapped in the past, hiding secrets in the depths. Walking out of the jungle to an old friend's restaurant that passed away ten years ago, finding an old friend of the restaurant owner in the city, going deep into the underground Portland Hotel that "disappeared" 50 years ago, returning to the place where I lived in the past, and talking with the newborn baby He did not see the persimmon tree that he did not know, came to the restaurant of the former employee who was fired, and finally came to the partner's father's house. Along the way, he is revealing his past and the thoughts of his friends. The warm and cold tones of the picture are constantly changing, and the frame-like composition appears repeatedly. At last he returned to the jungle, looked at the pain of the past calmly, and fell asleep to the song of his wife and the sound of birds in the woods. The movie follows him looking for old friends to recall the past, whether it is the glory of the past and the decline of the present, or the original intention of the past and the forgetting of the present. This is not a memory of a person, it is a memory of the city, a memory of the society. Even if it is down now, the salty baguette is still being made; many years later, when I recall the beginning, I will still panic and cry. Not to mention the people who helped when they heard the name, who immediately recalled the time when they enjoyed the food. The good and bad memories are all the paths that he has traveled in the past. These should be the forces that support him to look forward, not the beard he doesn't want to shave and the wounds that are not bandaged. After all, he has long since needed truffle pigs. Truffles found, see you on Thursday.

Pig quotes

  • Bryce: [Stops playing the hand pan] Does your face hurt?

    Rob: Yeah.

  • Charlotte (formerly Restaurant Waitress): [Waitress giving rote announcement that accompanies the deconstructed scallops she has just delivered in a smoke filled globe to Rob and Amir's table] We all have a set of beliefs about the world around us. To challenge them is to acknowledge our foundation is sand, but it opens us up to something greater, to pure connection, to true life. Today's journey begins by uniting the depths of the sea with the riches of our forests. We've emulsified locally sourced scallops encased in a flash-frozen seawater roe blend, on a bed of foraged huckleberry foam, all bathed in the smoke from Douglass fir cones.

    Rob: I'd like to speak to the chef.
