6.6 points for the movie "Dumpling" is really underestimated. This is a movie I've seen at least 3 times. I bought Li Bihua's book yesterday, and I just finished reading the original novel of "Dumplings" written by her. It can be said that the film can be restored to this level, which is already a level of 7.5-8 points. In addition, the performances of Liang Jiahui and Bai Ling in the play are really wonderful. Ka Fai plays the role of a rich real estate businessman who is over 50 years old but still coquettish. When he comes out, he has gray hair and an unruly image on his face. The audience can see at a glance how romantic this man was when he was young, and he has seen all kinds of "world faces". , so that old age can't hide it in the slightest. Bai Ling was very popular during the period from 2003 to 2005. When she was in elementary school, she watched European and American awards ceremonies, and when she walked the red carpet, she realized that there was an Asian face in Hollywood called Bai Ling. In the play, she plays a very charming temptress, who is always charming and charming, and can never guess her real age. As for Miriam Yeung, there are always film critics who criticize her acting skills, saying that her acting is too oppressive and hard-working, saying that she is only 30 years old, and her body is still wrapped in precious furs every day, but her youth seems to have passed away. The desolation, resentment, and unwillingness in the heart of the lady. But I think Miriam Yeung's acting skills are still passable, at least, they are loyal to the original work. Having read the originals, I can say that their performances are all accurate. When I saw this film for the first time in college, I was deeply moved. The phrase "Women still have to rely on themselves in the end" appears several times in both the book and the play. In the end, Miriam Yeung's role, did she really "rely on herself"? It is up to the viewer to find the answer. Anyway, I rated this movie 5⭐ and highly recommend it. Finally, I love Li Bihua.

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?
