Tina's widow mother has an eccentric temperament. In order to protect the tradition, she asked the eldest daughter to marry the younger daughter's boyfriend, and the younger daughter Tina forbearance for 22 years. In the past 22 years, she and the male protagonist have watched each other. Although they can't be together, there is nothing to stop the desire of the two people.
At her sister's wedding, Tina's painful tears flowed into the food, making everyone who tasted the food miss the lover in their hearts; 22 years later, at her niece's wedding, she made dishes that made the oldest person They all go to the carnival with their lovers. Just because after the death of her mother and sister, she was finally able to be with her lover.
The light, color, sound, picture, and food of the film are all a feast for the gluttonous. At first, when Tina watched her sister marry her lover, I didn't know how much I hated her cowardice and mother's partiality. But in the second half of the film, Tina finally plucked up the courage to scold her mother's soul and live the life she wanted. It's no exaggeration to think of this as a feminist movie.
When Tina was with the man she loved for the first time, that night burst out with dazzling lightning-like rays of light. The eldest sister said that it was the unwilling soul of her mother and "the temptation of the devil". The second and last time, At the end of the film, Tina and her beloved man finally fell in love with each other without hindrance. When the clouds and rains turned, the two of them contained a fire of passion for 22 years, which ignited the whole house, and the fire burned for a whole week before going out. How strong is the flame of this love, how deep is the despair and pain hidden in the hearts of the two for 22 years.
The male doctor said that everyone has a flame in their body and needs matches, oxygen and candles to light them, and that match is love. After the fire, the bodies of Tina and the hero were gone, leaving only a cookbook of love, and I thought again, this is really a movie about love.
When Tina's niece died, Tina became mentally ill, and was cared for by the doctor's male partner, and a bowl of broth allowed Tina to recover. Tina prepares to marry the doctor, but breaks the moral prohibition with the male protagonist before the wedding.
Later, she confessed to the doctor that she wanted to end the wedding, and she confessed to him that with him, she felt calm, peaceful, safe, and made her comfortable and relaxed. It is conceivable that with the protagonist, although the excessive passion burns her, it also consumes her, making her restless all the time. The two hugged in the sunset. I thought she would marry a supporting actor. Although it was a pity, I also felt that this was a good ending.
However, as soon as the director turned the camera, in the next set of pictures, Tina finally married the protagonist, and the flaming flames were proof that they were still in love.
Perhaps, love is like this, through the tunnel of time, through the barriers of pain, and finally, let me come to you, enjoy life with you, get drunk in this life in food and lust, and then die together without regret.
