In 2015, "Chef Burning Love", "Mr. Good" in 2016. The plots of the two are mysteriously similar.

I have a habit of not catching up on the popularity of the film, I will watch it for a year or two, and then write about my feelings.

This release is often a surprise.

For example, "Chef Burning Love" and "Mr. Good", compare the key plots.

A former celebrity chef who screwed up his life.

restart.

Then Jiyou's restaurant as the head chef.

Rediscover yourself and realize your value.

Of course, the details are not a little bit different, so it cannot be concluded that the two dramas are related by blood.

I'm also used to reading other people's movie reviews.

Some people say that the setting that everyone favors the male protagonist is not enough.

Part of the plot of "Mr. Good" can be seen as a prequel to "Master Chef". As for why everyone loves the male protagonist, writing a reverse story helps to understand.

Suppose the first half of Einstein's life was reversed. He first studied at a prestigious university until he became the youngest professor of physics. At the age of 26, he published "The Theory of Relativity" and became famous all over the world. He then got married and had children, got a job in the patent office, and devoted himself to supporting his family.

How will old friends treat him? Regret, retention, catch up... all possible.

Then, many years later, many friends had surpassed him, and he left the patent office to devote himself to physics again.

How will old friends treat him? If he is not a genius, it is likely to ridicule him and suppress him.

But he is a genius. Friends found that the gap between him and him could not be surpassed by hard work alone, and that gap was called IQ. Many things can be obtained through hard work, money, status, power... It is a pity that IQ, talent, intuition... Although these things are not mysterious, they cannot be obtained through hard work.

As another chef in the film said: You are the one who leads us forward.

It's a pity that "Mr. Good" is not "good" enough, and "Chef Burning Love" is not "burning" enough.

There is an interesting plot in "Chef Burning Love", that is, the advancement of kitchen utensils with the times. The protagonist who has given up his cooking skills for five years is the same as before, but the sous chef is already unfamiliar with how to use a frying pan. "The frying pan should be in a museum." (But she went home and worked hard.)

Reminds me of the bridge segment of the domestic drama "Surgical Wind and Cloud", how to balance the use of staplers and the manual sutures of doctors. People's dependence on technology leads to the decline of technology. When technology is not enough to rely on, what if we don't have technology? Is it redundant for us to practice technology when technology can be relied upon?

This may be unfounded.

I believe that the best chefs and the best doctors can keep pace with the times and maintain advanced technology.

However, not everyone is good. At that time, chefs who lost their technological support would naturally worship chefs who could use frying pans.

What's more, the male protagonist in this film is also a cooking genius. "He can turn sand into vegetables".

Burnt quotes

  • [Adam has been jumped upon by the French mafia]

    Helene: No, you're not *cooking*, Adam. We can handle it, alright. Just tell me quickly, do you want me to baste them in butter?

    Adam Jones: *Slowly*. And then peel and emulsify.

    Tony: Jesus, you're as bad as he is.

  • Dr Rosshilde: Someone told you when you were very small that you were good and the world was good, and everything naturally would be good. And then the serpent served you a bad apple, and for all your bullshit, you can't take bad. Not in a souffle, not in an apple, and crucially, not in a person. Whatever it was or whoever it was in the past, it's time to get on with it. And you can't do this alone. There's strength in needing others .. not weakness.
