The so-called family love is not necessarily the love of the family

The beginning of the film is Mr.Church cooking in the kitchen, which is very beautiful and healing. Mr.Church used his superb craftsmanship to make Charlotte's resistance from the beginning to the heartfelt acceptance of this gentle, gentle, Great black uncle who cooks.

There are many details in the film that give us a side view of the characters.

For example, although Mr.Church is a "cook", he likes to read books, he is always clean and decent, and he speaks properly... At that time, I was confused as to why Mr.Church was willing to work in Charlotte's house for so many years, taking care of their mother and daughter (It will be explained later).

The plot of Charlotte and her mother made me feel that the mother is a gentle, strong woman who deeply loves her daughter, and Charlotte is a girl who dares to love and hate, and loves her mother very much.

For six years, Mr.Church has become a family with his mother and daughter, taking care of their daily life, listening to Mr.Church's jazz every morning, being woken up by the aroma of cooking, and becoming a "home" engraved in Charlotte's heart. feel". Mr.Church has no blood relationship with their mother and daughter, but he has been by their side for so many years, the reason is very simple ~ because the mother and daughter also gave Mr.Church a home.

This is "family", it is also family.

The end of the film was very tear-jerking, and I was deeply impressed by the letter Mr. Church wrote to Charlotte.

"Dear Charlutte.

You've said you just want to know me.

My dear, you always have.”

“I know you think i took care of you and your mother and Izzy and you gave me nothing in return.

You gave me the most important life can offer.

You gave me a family. And love.”

I also hope that each of us can cherish the people around us, those who take good care of us, those who are friendly, those who we love and love us.

    Two and a half stars, "Driving for Miss Daisy" 27 years ago, and "Cooking for the Brooks Family" 27 years later, cooked in a very old-fashioned way. You can't fully understand a person, in front of you he is a chef, in front of others he is a pianist. In front of you he is family, in front of others he may be gay lover.

Mr. Church quotes

  • Marie: Charlie, Charlie wait. I am angry, too. You give birth to this tiny innocent little thing and you think, 'My God... , Oh my God, help me protect her.' And that is what you spend every waking moment doing. And then one day you wake up and you've got cancer. And you realize, my God, oh my God, what she will need the most protection from is your own life slipping away from her. But you love her so much. And you just want to smother her with love, and hugs, and words. With every moment you've got left.

  • Charlie: People act strange around death. There are those who talk about everything... but the person who died. Those who talk about only the person who died. Those who try to cheer you up. And those who can't help but make you cry. And then there are those who say nothing at all. Because they don't have to
