About the film's music

As the background music of the title sounded, a red insulation box and the figure of a slender woman appeared in front of us.

The background music here is very good, heavy and long, and the sound effects seem to be knocking on the hearts of the audience one after another.

But at the beginning, the expectations of exaggerated and bright trump cards are too high, and it is often easy to fail to support the bright gimmicks in front and disappoint people.

Going back to this song, it is very good at creating an atmosphere. Many times it suddenly sounded and suddenly aroused the emotions of the audience, but sometimes it was also frightened by the abrupt music.

Contrasted with this piece is another style of the film, slow and leisurely music. This kind of tune is too easy to make people play, forget that we are watching Mrs. Lee eating baby dumplings, but watching the Hong Kong afternoon tea analysis (???)

In short, in many scenes, I would rather turn off the background music and leave some blanks, which may be more able to create the desired atmosphere, but the director added this kind of bgm that is completely different from the first type of horror atmosphere music, which is really incomprehensible.

Especially when the back of Aunt Mei, who was destitute and aging at the end, gradually disappeared, inserting this music, is it to keep the years quiet? ? ? ? Aunt Mei withdraws from the arena, and Mrs. Li will become the next Aunt Mei. Everything is full of unknowns, and everything continues to happen. I really don't like this kind of bgm in the movie.

Digression: I don't like Aunt Mei played by Bai Ling the most in this film. Maybe I read the novel first and then preconceived. I feel that Aunt Mei should be more mature, stable and sexy, but not a hint of cunning and shrewdness. Although Aunt Mei is from the mainland and is a person from the wooden board age of the last century, she definitely does not behave like a person. Reveal the word "earth"!

Dumplings quotes

  • Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.

  • Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
