When I found that I didn't feel bored watching a film that wasn't driven by the plot, it was probably because I understood what the director wanted to express.
The most bland Indian film I've ever seen is The Stars on Earth, and of course the culture I've seen in Indian films is ebullient and boisterous. Maybe the class difference in India, the economic status is too poor, and life is very difficult, so the movie is a tool to escape. Therefore, very few movies lightly describe the life and emotions of ordinary people. This lunch box is indeed very special and outstanding.
It gives me the feeling that it is subtle and delicate, which is in line with our East Asian culture, but India seems to be different, they are very good at expressing, especially in the form of singing and dancing.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are both unpopular people in life. This unpopularity is not a difference in social status, but it is difficult for us to approach them. In fact, they are very similar to most of us. Live numbly, unchangingly bear the trajectory prescribed by life. work, family. So when they meet and talk about the softness and loneliness in each other's hearts, they will be so warm and give each other so much expectation.
In fact, the heroine only cooked lunch for the male lead for a month, and the male lead only gave the female lead a note for a month. But the loneliness in the city is especially difficult and precious. When the female lead wrote about her husband cheating, I thought the male lead would comfort her, but I was moved by the male lead's sentence, are you willing to go to Bhutan with me. If it weren't for the letter paper in this lunch box, the male protagonist wouldn't be able to say it.
We all look forward to the ending of the two together, and the director seems to have given us that hope. But in fact, it doesn't matter whether we can go to Bhutan together, what matters is that you have been there in my lonely life.
