Although many people say that this is not the category of food movies, I still think the killing cooking in the film is very exciting, even if it is only a dessert battle. In addition to the so-called food, the film contains too many things.
Nigel's father's love for his mother.
Nigel's father is a middle-aged, pot-bellied, boss-style father. In contrast, his mother looks much younger and more elegant. Just like their appearance, their personalities are quite different. My mother is gentle and kind, even if she has the skills of dark cooking, she has not lost any points. Dad was always serious, and he was even more irritable with Nigel, making it hard to believe that Nigel was his biological son.
But such a grumpy father never complained to the dark cooking mother, even if he ate toast day after day. The father’s desire to protect his wife was especially evident after Nigel made a table of spaghetti. He first expressed his disgust for the food that was not toast, and later complained that the food was unpalatable when he tasted it. Nigel tasted it himself. It can be reflected that my father's taste is fine, and he also thinks it is delicious, but he loves his wife more than food.
Nigel's family is missing
Nigel doesn't feel love from his father, but his mother's love is accompanied by a lack of life - no good food. Nigel in this family can be considered to have grown up a little healthy, still loves his mother deeply, and turned to his father after his mother left. Nigel is not bad, the problem is that the budding comrade consciousness was cut off by his parents. Fortunately, he always insisted on his sexuality and insisted on giving milk to the little fat man.
The big battle between Nigel and his stepmother The climax of the whole film is the big battle
between Nigel and his stepmother from childhood to youth. When the stepmother arrived, Nigel saw through the scheme of the conspiratorial cleaner. However, his father was also a man who cannibalize. , the stepmother wins a point.
The stepmother's superb cooking skills were also considered to be the fulfillment and enlightenment of Nigel's food dream at the beginning, so Nigel and her stepmother were still at peace to a certain extent in the few years they began to live together.
Until Nigel enrolled in home economics class and realized that he could win his father over with food, the battle between his stepmother and him began to fill up. The desserts that changed every day made Dad's belly rounder. During this period, the stepmother and Nigel secretly competed. In the end, the stepmother won the father's love with the original meringue lemon pie. Nigel also secretly learned this dessert to please his father. But in the end, this dessert Nigel was made, but the father who had been tortured by dessert for a long time broke out. The battle of Nigel's stepmother was brought to light. However, the war did not stop until the death of the father.
At this point, Nigel chose to leave, but the stepmother could not accept losing two of her hard-earned people, but Nigel finally decided to leave, stealing the stepmother's meringue lemon pie became his signature, and then got a job.
In fact, there is also Nigel's sexual orientation line. The film sets the stage step by step, from the fruitless ignorance of the gardener, to the choice of milk by the fat man and the girl, to the kiss of the tavern owner's son. Nigel has never been lost. From the beginning, he knew who he was and was loyal to his choice, but the kiss from the boss's son was a little abrupt.
The whole film is very rich, and the battle with the stepmother is particularly exciting. In toast and meringue lemon pie, Nigel loves toast but can't stand it, hates meringue lemon pie but represents it, love and hate are always clear things.
