A dream about food

I didn’t intend to see a movie. After watching it, I couldn’t help but feel the urge to sort out. The beginning of the movie unabashedly portrayed an image of an Indian housewife who desperately wants to please her husband. It also reminds of the status of Indian women. Not surprising. The only connection with the husband who works outside during the day is the lunch at noon, so a clumsy woman starts to focus on lunch but does not know how to change how to change, like an uninspired woman, including the enthusiasm that has never appeared in front of the camera. The aunt upstairs, guided her step by step, provided her with exquisite and delicious seasonings, and gave her some right or wrong suggestions, but the story was indispensable for her. She aroused Ina's question about the meaning of life, which was introduced in the film Aunt’s husband stayed in bed for a long time. He woke up and looked at the fan on the ceiling. When the power went out, the speed of the fan slowed down and his heart rate also slowed down, but the aunt’s generator saved her husband. The fan didn’t stop and he survived. Let’s not talk about the quality of life of the husband who has a enthusiastic and virtuous wife, but as long as he lives, it must be meaningful. It is his meaning that the fan keeps spinning, and it is the meaning of his wife to never leave him and take good care of him. In a sense, Auntie is happy and Yina is envious. It is better than to please a man whose heart doesn't belong to him and live a meaningless life. So she asked her questions to the other end of the lunch box. From a bit by bit point of view, Fernandez was another lonely man in this crowded city. His wife passed away. When he came back from get off work, a group of playful children surrounded him and wanted to throw it away. When the ball on his balcony, when a new colleague asked him why he kicked a cat out of the car and did not look back, when late at night he looked at the little girl’s house, the lively window of the dinner party, the little girl closed the window in horror and disgust , He walked step by step into this dream about food-induced love with the image of a lonely and weird middle-aged widowed man.
As a result, the two lost hearts met because of the misunderstanding of the delivery address. Turned a new page for the story. They told each other's thoughts through the lunch box, which was a bit of soul mates. The appearance of Ina in other words meant a kind of food and a taste that made the life that Fernandez was experiencing more profound and profound loneliness. Reminiscing, but inevitably because she was looking forward to it deeply and looking forward to it. At this time, Yina is also experiencing some sadness, some of the smell of other women on her husband’s clothes, and some want to replace her dead brother as the mother’s responsibility for the family. However, a beautiful landscape painting of the child is about Bhutan. The dream-like life of that, about the strange man, about the dream that is very close and far away. She wanted to get rid of all the poor herself in reality, so she took a bold step to meet with the man at the end of the lunch box to talk about the things she didn't want to say in the note. However, he dared not approach, fearing that his approach would shatter this beautiful dream. The next day, there was nothing in the lunch box, showing that Ina was unhappy about his missed appointment. In the reply, he slowly explained to her. "You are still young, and there are more dreams to follow, including you gave me dreams." Maybe it's just because someone in the car took the initiative to give up his seat because of his old age, or maybe only feel humble when he sees her. But he didn't mean that, or why did he go to the store and watch her quietly. People, always feel humble in front of the one you truly love, feel that you are not worthy, and can't afford it. Perhaps in this way we will have precious beliefs and expectations, and distance, as the saying goes, distance produces beauty. But in fact, the heroine has power in her heart. When she found out where Fernandez worked, she led the child. This may be a little confusing. It is very different from the coy and contented wife at the beginning who is dedicated to pleasing her husband. But she longs for love, longs for warmth, longs to rely on, as if he can give her, these drive her step by step, as if Closer to happiness. But at the end of the film, it came to an abrupt end, Fernandez left, no more delicious lunches and white notes full of thoughts. Like a train, it didn't come to the end, but stopped in the middle of disappointment. But there is a repeated sentence in the film, The wrong train will take you to the right place", but who can absolutely say that the place where you stopped is not the right place, the arrangement of fate is probably the best arrangement. And this is wrong. Words, it’s just because in our life, things are not as dull and unpredictable as we expected. There are always surprises. And that kind of unexpected dreams, whether they wake up in the final dream or not, are worthy of our lifetime.
However, the open ending has fallen on our hearts, I hope he and she can find happiness, whether together or not, live up to this beautiful dream.

    Even if you get on the wrong train, you will get to the right platform. The emotion of making mistakes is worth remembering, but it was a pity that I didn't break through the thin barriers until the end. In the Ah San movie, there is no singing and dancing for the first time.
