Another bowl of chicken soup for the soul

British Airways is very interesting. It keeps so many good British movies and always likes to get some bad Hollywood movies to show. I couldn't sleep on the plane. The reading light would shine on the seat next to me as soon as I turned it on. After turning it on and off a few times, the seat next to me was already looking at me with the eyes of incendiary bombs. Quickly turn on the small TV to see, just put this film. I heard that it has something to do with Italian food, even a big mouth can tolerate it.

This movie sucks. It's a pity to waste such a good pizza and pasta. The film, like some American films about Europe, on the surface, is to play with European tastes, but it is actually a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, without salt, it is quite greasy.

Italian food is actually prepared with a few standard dishes, as if foreigners order sweet and sour pork when they enter a Chinese restaurant. The same is true of the beauty of Italy, the most famous attractions, looking like a guidebook.

This movie is essentially about people wanting to be casual. The problem is: eat when you eat, read sutras when you read, find your lover when you find them, go by feeling, and if you slowly smack the taste, you can make an interesting movie, and you can also educate the audience subtly. . But I don't know if it's the screenwriter or the original, but it doesn't allow you to have real enjoyment. At the critical moment, you have to engage in a lot of lectures, using chicken soup language. By the time the movie said enough, I was about to fall asleep.

After thinking about it, where did my disgust with this film come from? There are two kinds of people in the world, one is the street aunt and the other is the common people. Ordinary people are divided into two categories, one has to rely on the chicken soup cooked by the aunt to live smoothly, and the other is more smooth without the aunt. I am the second kind of ordinary person, and I am a little allergic to chicken soup.

What I don't understand is that the United States is not a small country, and its culture is diverse. It is estimated that there are also many Italians and Indians. Why do you have to go to other countries to find yourself. If you want to travel, travel, do you have to have such a glorious excuse?
