"Pig" is widely rumored to be the turn of the Hollywood prodigal and the king of bad films in recent years, Nicolas Cage. After watching it, it is impossible to turn over, but it is not unbearable to continue to rot;

The story of this film is very simple. It is to find a "truffle pig" who has a very deep relationship with himself but has been robbed by others. In the process of searching, he gradually reveals the protagonist's awesome past, and gradually allows his partners to grow up like this. story;

The setting of the story is actually quite pretentious, creating a super-killer atmosphere for a super Michelin-rated chef. I always feel that when the male owner wants to hang up, he will tell the story in the profound chicken soup for the soul and the rich literary atmosphere. Gently bring out the current conflict points;

In fact, this film is about two points of "original intention and loyalty". The original intention is whether you can stick to the original intention when you make any choice; loyalty is whether you can still have pure thoughts about yourself after experiencing the baptism of the society around you. Loyalty, the film has been expanding the plot around these two points, and this pig also represents the bottom line and principle that the protagonist will guard at the end, and it is also the belief that he defends with his life and death;

The camera is still ok, the tones are relatively retro and soft, and some compositions are also very comfortable. The film is relatively boring, so choose to watch carefully.

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.
