On a whim, I made a food movie series. After complaining, I usually imitate the food in the film to make some food, but the imitation level is extremely poor, the cooking attitude is very depressing, and the choice of ingredients is useless. It belongs to the Buddhist food review series that can help you keep your mind on late-night snacks. It is very practical to lose weight and save money. It was first published in The Paper's drama column.
--------------------------------
"Ramen Girl", a ramen version of "Lost in Translation" that is a hundred times worse than "Lost in Translation", not to mention "Lost in Translation" is not that good.
An American girl who walks a tightrope for love, crazy for love, travels thousands of miles to Tokyo to find her boyfriend, but her boyfriend, as a prodigal son who can't be moored, leaves her in search of freedom within a few days. Missing is the pain of breathing, rolling back and forth in the heroine's heart, she stood on the balcony like all the girls who are keen to perform lovelorn after falling out of love, smoking, drunk, heartbroken, crying, at this time, she saw a ramen shop on the corner of the street. In Glittering (really, the sparkling in the style of magic realism), when my brain twitched, I went in and asked the owner who had closed the store to cook a bowl of noodles because of the language barrier.
Since then, I have become a regular customer, I feel comforted by the ramen noodles, and once again my brain is pumping, I will rely on the language barrier to ask the shopkeeper to make ramen noodles by himself. The reason is: I hope that I can make ramen noodles for my boyfriend in the future to save his heart To grab a man's heart is to grab a man's stomach, Ayawawa smiled and was relieved to hear it).
If you think about the story behind, you can guess that the heroine successfully learned the superb ramen making technology, was recognized by the master, found the direction of life, harvested sweet love, and solved the master's family problems without realizing it. The story is cliché, not scary. After all, if you look at food and exotic flavors, you should be able to watch food movies. But as a movie, the logic of storytelling still needs to be scrutinized, and it is too hasty to cover all the illogical places with chicken soup.
Especially sloppy: the female protagonist who does not speak Japanese is talking with the master chicken and duck at the beginning, and at the end of the movie, she is still talking with the master chicken and duck, and the Japanese has not improved. But in this situation where the language cannot be communicated at all, and the master cannot understand what the master says, the heroine insists on generating electricity with love and communicating with heart. In one year, she learns the essence of making ramen and becomes a professional A unique ramen master. And the master's outstanding work is: green pepper tomato corn ramen... Is this salad ramen?
The funniest scene was when the master brought the heroine to see his old mother, the kind old aunt with gray hair, who could not speak a word of English, but was able to talk to the heroine, one in English, the other in Japanese, through dialogue. With smooth communication, the scene was as if both of them were given superpowers by the God of Translation. The old aunt's solution to the problem of "the ramen made by the heroine has no soul" is to "make ramen with love". What if there is no love? Just "make ramen with tears". Soul, love, tears, after watching such a chicken soup dialogue, who can not be confused? Who can't cry?
Then the heroine misses her boyfriend and makes ramen while crying, so she makes ramen that will break your heart.
In fact, if similar themes are handed over to Japan, logic and exaggerated chicken soup for the soul will not be a problem. The Japanese can shoot it with the boiling feeling of a hot-blooded comic. Imagine these lines from the second sickness: "Ramen without love is not ramen. !" "The secret of soup lies in the soul!" Putting it into Japanese comics is not against the line, and it's so hot. However, when Hollywood stepped in, there was a sense of disobedience to the Disney princess walking into the set of One Piece.
The film is a co-production between the United States and Japan, and cultural barriers exist both in the film's story and in the teamwork. But cultural barriers are a reality, not an obstacle to creativity. For example, "Lost in Translation", the theme is the various feelings and insights that cultural barriers and language bring to foreigners with many problems. But the film "Ramen Girl" has no intention of paying attention to the estrangement itself. They just show their own right to show what they think is a foreign culture. The whole film shows no convincing demonstration of the female protagonist's cultivation process of making ramen. The heroine somehow became a ramen master in a very short period of time, which is a completely childish and stupid performance of ramen culture. Hollywood's filming of Japanese ramen is essentially as ignorant as seeing the aunt in the park dancing in Chinese clothes and shouting "Ah, Chinese Kung Fu" with a clear face.
The love line is also full of stereotypes: the heroine falls in love with a tall and handsome Japanese who is fluent in English and studied abroad and has a high education. It looks like he wants to create a character who is different from the usual Japanese male image in Hollywood, but in fact it still has a narrow imagination of the Japanese. For example, the male protagonist thinks that he will become a "typical Japanese": working in a big company, getting married and having children step by step, and living a boring life to death. I'm curious how the white screenwriter of the film defines such a "typical Japanese"? She also asked the hostess to comment "This is too bad". Fortunately, it is an old movie from 2009. If it is released now, I am afraid that it will be torn apart by the contemporary American people who are keen on political correctness.
The only line in the whole film's heartless lines also shows a bit of cleverness:
"Why do Americans think other people want to be like them?"
Ramen, seemingly simple and convenient, is actually quite ingenious. For people after a hard day's work, it is a common food that heals tiredness and warms the body and mind. But in the dead of night, you may not have the strength to go out to find ramen. It is more practical to have a bowl of instant noodles.
So this recipe, you guessed it right, is instant noodles. Don't think instant noodles are easy. In the movie "Like You", the gourmet male protagonist made many rules and spent a lot of time in order to make a bowl of instant noodles.
First choose the material. Just as there are evils in the east and the west in the world of Jin Yong, there are three pillars in the world of the Three Kingdoms, and there are oligarchic products in the world of instant noodles: braised beef noodles, spicy beef noodles, and Laotan pickled beef noodles. The status of these three in the mainland, just like the first one in Hong Kong and the Shin ramen in South Korea, are all symbols of soil and water, and they are the homesickness of wanderers. This time we chose the braised beef noodles with the longest history and the most classic taste.
Cook noodles. An aspiring gourmet, who never eats boiled instant noodles, only boiled instant noodles can show the exquisite life of urban white-collar workers.
Cooking noodles has the same concept of time as going to work. If you are late for work, you will deduct bonuses. If you cook noodles overtime, you can only eat rubbish.
After the noodles are cooked, use a slotted spoon to control the noodles, control the moisture to dry, and the strength should be crisp and professional.
Look at this shiny good face!
Stir fry! An aspiring gourmet is very harsh on seasonings! The beef sauce package of braised beef noodles is added to a little hot oil, and it is fragrant in an instant!
Add in the diced chicken that has been marinated with cooking wine and shredded ginger, and stir-fry until cooked. Add rich taste layers and protein to instant noodles.
Noodles, diced chicken, fried eggs, instant noodles and vegetable buns are good to put in a bowl, and now the food has begun to appear.
Finally, the refreshing vegetables are poured in with the piping hot noodle soup! A bowl of the ultimate home-cooked late-night gourmet instant noodles is complete.
最最后声明，本期出场商品不是赞助，没有给钱，谁倒是把我9块钱的泡面成本报销一个？
