At first, I felt that neither the Taiwanese translation of "Spice Republic" nor the Hong Kong translation of "Love, Color and Scent" failed to convey the true meaning of the film. But if you think about it, the translation is ideal as long as the "Republic" in "The Republic of Spice" is understood as a political meaning rather than a collection of spices. It was my wishful thinking that it would introduce the efficacy and usage of various spices.
Fanny is a Greek who was born in Istanbul, Turkey. When he was a child, he used to play in his grandfather's spice shop. He listened to his grandfather's description of the metaphors of various spices: pepper is like the sun, with passion and fire, making people dizzy with love; cinnamon is like A woman, sweet and bitter, makes people both love and fear; salt is used in the right place, and life has a taste...
Then little Fanny waited for his little lover Sammi to arrive, and he whispered in his ear, telling her to cook deliciously The secret to the meatballs (ha, I know, cinnamon!), and she dances to him in return. Spice, food, first love, affection. The good times don't last long. The Fanny family was repatriated to Greece, and only the grandfather remained in Istanbul. Fanny can only miss his grandpa and Sammi by cooking, and every time he expects them to visit, he fails.
Fanny, who is in his 40s, receives news that his grandfather is critically ill, and revisits his birthplace, Istanbul, which he doesn't know if he can call it his hometown. (Grandpa is very excited? He went in for more than ten seconds and left in order not to stimulate grandpa’s emotions? Or grandpa has passed away? It’s strange, my impression of this episode is extremely vague, and I may even mistakenly plant the plot of another movie. ). When he met Sammi, he asked her if she would like to live with him from now on? Sammi said, let's talk about it after her daughter's birthday party. At the birthday party, Sammi's husband shows up, the son of a diplomat (who also became a diplomat), and little Fanny once peeped at each other in the attic of Grandpa's shop, but after leaving, Fanny doesn't know the man It was also in his grandfather's shop that he fell in love with Sammi at first sight.
The answer is helpless. Now, what other options are there (thinking of another set of movies I watched last night, I want to hear it and talk about it). ? Fanny went to the train station to see him off. After a deep hug, he asked Sammy to move forward and not look back, watching the family of three leave from a distance. It was Sammy's daughter who turned back.
It's not a set of movies that I can say out loud, but it's a set worth watching. Reminds me of a conversation between two men in the bathroom in my midnight dreams. Thinking of myself, my identity, my emotional destination, another living vanny.
