Dingbao, who has watched the movie in one go, may never eat dumplings in his life...
The movie "Dumplings" that shocked Dingbao in the middle of the night was adapted from the original book of the same name by Li Bihua, starring Leung Ka Fai, Miriam Yeung and Bai Ling, which is comparable to Handong How can a man's troupe's Kasi Dingbao be exclusive to one person~ So, today, everyone will tighten their belts and follow Ben Ding on the magnificent road of losing weight in life! ! !
The mysterious dumpling
film begins with a woman passing through the Shenzhen-Hong Kong junction with a lunch box containing a delicious-looking ham and egg rice.
Strangely, as soon as the woman got home, she dumped the ham and egg rice that she brought back from Shenzhen to Hong Kong into the trash can. It turns out that the so-called bento is just a cover up, and the small bowl hidden at the bottom of the bento is what women really want.
This strange woman is called Huang Yuemei (Bai Ling). She looks like she is only in her thirties, but everyone who knows her calls her Aunt Mei.
What the hell is in her little bowl that's worth transporting across provinces, even under cover?
Aunt Mei opened the small bowl, and a dozen objects the size of orange petals appeared in the picture. These crystal clear "little things" are pink, soft and springy to the touch, and somewhat sticky to the touch. The "little thing" seemed to be covered with a thin layer of grease, and it was hard to pinch one up with two fingers, and accidentally slipped into the bowl again. It turned out that these pink jelly was the raw material for Aunt Mei to make dumplings.
Aunt Mei sells dumplings, and her dumpling shop is the room above the dilapidated residential building where she lives.
This is a very "special" dumpling restaurant. Most restaurants are located in the bustling commercial street, but Aunt Mei's dumpling restaurant is hidden in the old residential building, and the guests who come to eat need to be recommended by regular customers.
The god statues enshrined in the hotel are either the God of Wealth or Guan Erye, either seeking wealth or protecting safety. The god statues in Aunt Mei’s house are extremely messy, not only various Taoist and Buddhist statues, but even Chairman Mao and Hello Kitty!
What kind of dumplings does Aunt Mei sell? Why is it so mysterious? What kind of diners would come to eat such unidentified dumplings?
During the day, a lady dressed in fancy clothes and delicate makeup came to the community where Aunt Mei lived. This woman who was screaming "I'm rich" from head to toe seemed a little out of place in the dilapidated environment she was in. This lady is called Ai Jingjing (Mr. Yang), known as Mrs. Li, and is one of the guests of Aunt Mei's Dumpling Restaurant.
The first time she came to eat dumplings, she seemed very nervous, and even spit the dumplings to the ground. Maybe it was because the dumplings tasted so "different" that even the puppy ran away with his tail tucked in.
Because of the good business, Aunt Mei went to Shenzhen to buy goods again, but instead of going to the food store, she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital. Seeing this, the mystery of Aunt Mei's dumplings has been revealed:
it turns out that the raw materials of the dumplings like fruit candy are the baby embryos that were aborted in the hospital, and what Aunt Mei sells are basically embryo dumplings!
After knowing the truth about Aunt Mei's dumplings, the hidden location of the dumpling restaurant, the messy statues in Aunt Mei's house, Ai Jingjing's nervous expression when eating dumplings, and the dog's fear of dumplings all seem to have reasonable explanations.
And the diners who come here to eat dumplings, including Ai Jingjing, have only one purpose: to rejuvenate.
Fear of old age and fear of death is human nature. Death is the consequence of old age, but the opposite of old age is not death, but loss. Because of aging, we gradually lose energy, smooth skin, health, and finally, life. Death is only for a moment, and aging is a process of gradual deprivation. We are like souls trapped in a coffin. We can clearly smell a little bit of rotting and stinky body, but there is nothing we can do... That's why it Cruelty is unbearable.
Aunt Mei's diners are all afraid of aging and even more afraid of losing, but the things they don't want to lose are different.
Ai
Jingjing is afraid of old age, because old age has taken away her only bargaining chip to maintain a luxurious life - beauty.
When Ai Jingjing was a young actress, she ran into a wealthy businessman Mr. Li (Leung Ka Fai) while filming. Mr. Li fell in love with Ai Jingjing at first sight and launched a crazy offensive. Later, Ai Jingjing, who was just 20 years old, quickly retired and married Mr. Li as a full-time wife. At the beginning of the film, 15 years have passed since Ai Jingjing got married.
15 years is enough to kill love and youth.
When Ai Jingjing found out that her husband was taking care of the young girl, she smashed her husband's tonic duck eggs in a fit of anger, not even letting go of the ducklings that had just emerged inside. Here, she is not only hating her husband's betrayal, but also venting her envy and hatred for young and fresh life.
As an accessory of capital and men, Ai Jingjing's husband is her only driftwood in the vast ocean. Just like Aunt Mei said: "You don't dare to divorce. Women like you are everywhere. I'm different from you, rely on yourself, you are happy, and I am free."
In order to keep her biggest career in life, marriage, Ai Jingjing had to eat embryo dumplings with all her heart.
From the very first bite, I was so frightened that I spit it out, then I frowned and swallowed it hard, and finally I became addicted to it, and I can even discuss the crispy ear cartilage in the dumpling filling... This once shy and lovely woman finally lost humanity.
Ai Jingjing
's husband, Mr. Li, is definitely a successful person in the eyes of the public. He has money and status. With a wave of his hand, there are little girls who are several decades younger than him.
But even such a successful person resists aging just like ordinary people, and even has a more serious fear of aging than ordinary people.
Since ancient times, the more noble people are, the more afraid of aging. Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Yang of Sui and other emperors all have records of alchemy in pursuit of longevity, and even a generation of Ming Jun Li Shimin did not escape the fate of seeking immortality in his later years. The reason, of course, is the fear of losing the glory and wealth that he now enjoys. The same goes for Ai Jingjing's husband, Mr. Li.
In order to stay young, he eats very disgusting-looking duck eggs every day.
After overhearing the phone call between his wife and Aunt Mei about embryo dumplings, he not only did not comfort his anxious wife, nor condemned Aunt Mei, but instead ate embryo dumplings.
He likes young girls, not only because they are beautiful, but also because of his pursuit and even worship of a steady stream of vitality. When he found out that Aunt Mei was more than twenty years older than him, he was more "sexual" and vigorous, it was precisely because when he was with Aunt Mei, what he embraced was not only a body, but also a life force that would never flow away.
In addition to Jin Yuqi,
the most mysterious person in the film is Aunt Mei, who is obviously a woman over 60, but has a 30-year-old face and a 20-year-old body. If something is abnormal, it is a demon. It is very appropriate to call this woman who has eaten a 20-year-old baby embryo an "old demon".
Her heart is very hard.
In order to get a Hong Kong passport, I can quit my job as an obstetrician and marry an uneducated chef. Divorce as soon as you get your passport, without procrastination.
She can miscarry a 15-year-old girl for money.
You can also seduce Ai Jingjing's husband, Mr. Li, for more money, and remain indifferent to Ai Jingjing's hard pleas.
When the incident happened, he could give up the money he had saved for half his life and his identity as a Hong Kong citizen, and hid in a small town in Shenzhen to start over.
Aunt Mei seems to be an existence that has been forgotten by time. She is not afraid of getting old, nor is she afraid of being deprived of anything in her life, but is this really the case?
not necessarily. I am not afraid of getting old because I am old; I am not afraid of losing because I have nothing to lose. Otherwise, she wouldn't always hum the song "The Waves Beat the Waves" that she learned when she was young. When she sings this song, it is not only a pastime of boring time, but also a nostalgia for the lost youth.
All prosperity is illusory
. Ai Jingjing doesn't want to lose her marriage, Mr. Li doesn't want to lose her sensual life, and Aunt Mei doesn't want to lose her only remaining skin and freedom, but everything they don't want to lose will eventually be gone.
At the end of the movie, Aunt Mei flees with guilt, and her freedom has been lost. On the way to escape, she will soon age without eating baby embryos.
Ai Jingjing, desperate for baby embryos, went down the same path as Aunt Mei, and even ate the baby conceived by her husband and a third party. When the matter is discovered by her husband, everything Ai Jingjing cherishes will vanish.
Ai Jingjing's husband, Mr. Li, either searches for a baby to delay aging like his wife, or he can only accept the decline of his body.
What is forcibly retained will eventually leave, and if you are obsessed with what is destined to lose, you will only throw away what is in your hand. It is better to accept the aging of the body calmly than to be afraid of losing. After all, all those who have tried to fight aging have only failed since ancient times. Youth is only once, and old age is only once. No matter what stage it is, it belongs to the life that we only live once, and it is worth cherishing.
