The opening video of "Diet Men and Women" is also very unique. At the beginning of the film, it is closely related to the film title - food, through the neat washing, cutting and frying of the father who is a chef... A series of close-up actions of skilled cooking, edited with montage The techniques of his father's life-long craftsmanship show incisively and vividly. Then, the camera pans, and several beautifully framed photos on the wall fully express Master Zhu's glorious career history and outstanding identity, and integrate skills into the story, which fully reflects the charm and spirit of the film. . However, just to please the audience's visual experience, it can't reflect the "fist and kick" of this montage master. Ang Lee knows exactly what kind of film he wants to make. Is "Food and Drink" just to talk about diet? With the switch of the camera, we see the protagonists appear one by one. The appearance of the old father is completely interpreted by the language of the picture, without any lines and voiceovers, and when the appearance of the other protagonists - the eldest daughter Jiazhen and the second daughter Jiaqian, the identities of the characters are still introduced by the picture language. And the display of character characteristics, it was not until the appearance of the youngest daughter Jia Ning that Ang Lee arranged two lines and noisy background language. So far, Ang Ang explained the main characters of the whole film in only four shots. Such refined and accurate editing techniques, breathtaking montage techniques, and the trickle-down tone of the entire film are exactly the portrayal of the director's "Confucian style".

Eat Drink Man Woman quotes

  • Old Wen: Old Chu, do'nt get upset. Girls eventually leave home. It was bound to happen.

    Chu: I'm not upset. I hope they all move out, so I can have a quiet life.

    Old Wen: Quiet life? I know you. What you want, you can't get. What you don't want, you can't get rid of. You're as repressed as a turtle. That old maid of yours, Jia-Jen, will stick to you for life unless you marry her off!

    Chu: Marry who? Since she lost her asshole college boyfriend she's never looked at another man. You know that.

    Old Wen: And now she has the perfect boyfriend: Jesus Christ.

    Chu: Don't make fun of her religion! How is it that for 30 years I have put up this kind of talk from you?

    Old Wen: The truth is, you should be thankful someone's around to tell the truth.

  • Chu: I don't understand any of them, and I don't want to know. Let them grow up and leave. It's like cooking. Your appetite's gone when the dish is done.

    Old Wen: That's not the worst thing. At least people like your cooking.

    Chu: Honestly, Id' have to give that up if it hadn't been for you lately. My sense of taste is getting worse and worse. My food is only as good as the expression on your face.

    Old Wen: Don't be silly. You rely on your feelings when you cook, not your taste buds. Like that Western deaf composer, called Bee...

    Chu: Beethoven.

    Old Wen: That's right, Beethoven. Good sound is not in the ear, good taste is not in the mouth...and good sex...

    [laughs]

    Old Wen: God knows where!

    Chu: You're drunk!
