Japan's "Dandelion" is the first movie I saw at this year's Beijing International Film Festival. It seems to be a movie in the past eight years. I read the introduction before and knew that it was a story about food. I was still looking forward to it. Because I watched Japanese animations before, such as Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, every time I saw boiled instant noodles, I thought it was delicious, so I thought it must be a warm and happy film.
As a result , not long after the opening, a large scale came, and there was no deletion, it was absolutely crazy . A very beautiful girl, basically showing all three, and all of them are fancy shows of affection. But the picture is beautiful, it's the type I like. The problem is, I came with a friend of the opposite sex, and I was sitting in the fourth row of the giant screen, the screen was enlarged, and the whole picture was a beautiful woman's chest, very beautiful, very beautiful, worth the ticket price, of course, it was a bit embarrassing , ahem.
The story revolves around the ramen shop of a woman named Dandelion who lives alone with her son after her husband's death. She has been working hard to maintain the business of the ramen restaurant, but the business is relatively bleak.
On the other hand, the decoration contractor who likes her has always wanted to buy her the entire store so that she can marry him. Of course, like the adaptable dandelion, the tough and hard-working heroine would not agree.
Until one day, a truck driver came to this shop with his younger brother, and accidentally noticed that when Dandelion was cooking the ramen, the ramen was put in before the water was boiled, so the taste was very ordinary. Then he gave Dandelion a little guidance, which greatly benefited Dandelion.
Then Dandelion asked the truck driver to stay and teach himself how to make ramen, and said that he would study very hard. Maybe the truck driver was moved by her sincerity and smile, and after hesitating, he agreed to come to the shop to teach her how to make ramen in his spare time.
The truck driver took Dandelion secretly to other stores to eat noodles, and even inquired about the owner's soup recipe and so on. But the heroine still can't make a better soup. Finally, the truck driver returned to the Beggar Gang and invited out his master , a lovely old man. The old man taught dandelion how to make soup.
When they tried ramen in another restaurant, they accidentally saved an old man . The old man showed his life-saving grace and asked his chef to come over and help teach Dandelion how to make ramen . They went to other restaurants to try ramen together, analyzing how others made the noodles smooth and firm . At this time, Dandelion also showed her diligence and hard work. She was able to remember the customer's request very accurately , specifically what soup and noodles each customer ordered, and at the same time, she could use her own little skills to create the chef's fermented noodles. Methods.
In the end, with everyone's help, Dandelion was finally able to make ramen that allows everyone to finish the noodles and drink the soup. The renovation contractor who liked her also helped her redecorate the storefront . At the end of the film, the men leave one after another after the arrival of customers, and the new storefront is lined with long queues. In the end, we can all remember the big signboard at the door of the Dandelion Blooming Smile shop, which has a dandelion painted on it.
On the whole, the plot of the movie is relatively soothing, and the picture is relatively comfortable, especially when several assessors finished eating noodles and drinking soup, the whole sun came in from the window and the door, and the picture suddenly became very bright. The soundtrack makes people feel very warm instantly. The trivialities in life create the beauty of life, and also allow us to perceive real down-to-earth and peaceful happiness.
Dandelion's efforts and perseverance in the film are touching. From this, we can see the tenacity of ordinary people's lives, which is also a quality worthy of our learning (writing this sentence feels like returning to the student days of doing reading comprehension questions). The description and passion of a group of beggars for food can make you see the light in their eyes, and that passion is a true heartfelt love for life. If we can take every meal, every event, every moment of life seriously, then this earthly existence will have meaning, not just nothingness.
I especially like Japanese movies that are relatively small, fresh and literary. They describe the lives of ordinary people, but all of them reveal the tenacity and charm of human nature. It allows us to see the beautiful details and stories in life, and also allows us to feel the warmth of life. Don't we need these warm details to inspire us to move on when we are sometimes down?
Perhaps the film is trying to use the adaptability and beauty of dandelion as a metaphor for the heroine's toughness and kindness. Those who help themselves have their own help . Dandelion can get the help of everyone, and it is also his hard work, diligence, and tenacity to not give up that moved others, and let others see the shining point and potential in himself.
PS: The last scene of the film is that there is a woman breastfeeding a baby in the park, and the camera has been pulled all the way to the woman's chest. The whole huge screen is... You know. I really don't know what it means? Although there are also two very bold love scenes, but the handsome man was shot and killed, but I didn't understand who did it.
