food to warm

It was destined to be a heartwarming movie when Mom cooked the sea urchin and told Hassan that every food has its soul in the beginning.
Maybe when Hassan cooks food later, he must have his mother's words in his heart to make so much delicious food.

Sure enough, even when Dad encountered the choice, he always had a silent dialogue with his mother in his heart. Although the character of mother only appeared for a while, it ran through the whole movie like food.

At the end, when Hassan returned to town and picked up the sea urchin again, I was moved to tears. Food does have its soul, but perhaps this soul is infused by humans.

He must have remembered the soul that his mother gave to the sea urchin, and to appreciate this soul, he must be by his lover's side. So even though he became famous in Paris, he could not be happy. The place where he had love was in the small town, and the place where he could make delicious food happily was in the small town.

So sometimes I feel that the plot of the movie does not need to be too gorgeous. The focus of the characters has love and soul, which can make people move, even if the scene is just two houses with different styles on the same road.

The pictures and colors give the audience warmth, and the food even more.

    If Hassan catches the taxi that goes to Paris on a rainy night and stops suddenly after Margurite's house, the whole story will be just right, and the Paris section later will be completely redundant. The story is beautiful, but just like everyone speaks fluent English in such a small French town, it is not so true.

    "Gourmet tablets" that have neither appetite nor nutrition. It’s even more tiring to look at this Nima after a tiring day. I work hard every day and watch it for 20 minutes. Finally I look forward to the stars and the moon. This kind of film is sorry for the hard disk, sorry for myself, and sorry for life.

The Hundred-Foot Journey quotes

  • Madame Mallory: Oh. Vous m'étonnez.

    [Chuckles]

    Madame Mallory: You have it. Hmm. Your pigeon had it, too.

    Hassan: I know. I knew then, and I know now.

    Madame Mallory: Arrogance.

    Hassan: A chef must lead.

    Madame Mallory: Sharp and cool and hot in the mouth, all at the same time. Do you know how long it takes chefs to learn that? What will Papa say?

  • Madame Mallory: Do any of you know the words to the Marseillaise? Jean-Pierre?

    Jean-Pierre: Of course. It's our national anthem.

    Madame Mallory: Do you know all the words? "Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras. Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes!" "They come to slit the throats of our sons, our wives". Alors continuer Jean-Pierre.

    Jean-Pierre: "Aux armes citoyens, formez vos bataillons, marchons".

    Madame Mallory: And in English, so we can all understand?

    Jean-Pierre: "To arms citizens, from your battalions, let us march. May their unpure blood..."

    Madame Mallory: "Flow in our fields." And that is what it means to be French n'est-ce pas Jean-Pierre?

    Jean-Pierre: Yes.

    Madame Mallory: Well there are other ways to be French. Liberty. Equality. Fraternity.

    Jean-Pierre: Why are you talking only to me?

    Madame Mallory: Because you know who set the fire, don't you?

    Jean-Pierre: Would you surrender to these invaders?

    Madame Mallory: You tell your friends that these bombs have ended a war. They have brought peace. Bravo. You're a chef. I do not pay you to burn things. Take your knives and go.
