"Toast" is by no means a food movie, food should make people feel warm and healing.

I love toast. During the trip, if the hotel includes breakfast, the happiest thing is to brush jam on the toast that has just jumped out of the bread machine and is hot and crispy. The joy of hunger seems to be overflowing, and he is reassured by the sweetness that is about to enter. I like Tim Burton's movies, but I don't have Love House and Wu, and I don't like Helena at all. She always looks like a witch in Tim's movies. In "Toast", she is a stepmother. The kind-hearted poor kid in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is played by the always-beautiful young Freddie Highmore. In "Toast", he is Nigel. "Toast" is by no means a food movie, food should make people feel Warm healing. In Nigel's teenage years, it seemed, all food except butter toast was pain or hate. Canned food is the mother's original tenderness and clumsiness; Bolognese pasta is the father's deep love for his mother and Nigel's helpless picky; Dirt-stained radish and pork pie are Nigel's first love for the gardener who was strangled in the haze; minced meat Pancakes are mother's sad farewell to Nigel's pre-rehearsal; cod is Nigel's toasted dinner while waiting for his late father from get off work; milk is the nasty dairy Nigel is forced to swallow and spit on the spot; The ambiguous joy between the two has nothing to do with Nigel; the lemon duck breast salad is the first kiss given to Nigel by the male ballet dancer; the meringue lemon pie is the struggle between the stepmother and Nigel without the smoke of gunpowder. “No matter how bad things get, you seem impossible not to love someone who made you toast. Once you've been through that crispy surface to the soft underneath and tasted the warm salty butter, you are lost forever.
