Tragic soul under the surface of comedy

This is the twenty-fifth film review released by Yijing

"God of Cookery" is a complete tragedy, expressed in

1. Whether it is Stephen Chow or Big Fatty, after taking over the God of Cookery, they no longer treat people like people and bully at will.

2. Although the person being bullied may appear to be hippie and smiling on the surface, they are all timid and fearful of power after recognizing the situation.

3. Behind the smiling face, the person being bullied has a fierce heart. They have high emotional intelligence, sophistication, and flexibility. This kind of character makes them go to the pinnacle of power, but at the pinnacle of power/exploiting loopholes/killing people; they are under the glossy appearance/exquisite egoists.

4. The God of Cookery contest, which is admired and convinced by thousands of people, seems to be critical, fair and just, but it has long been doomed in secret - the referee suffers from economic pressure and has long been persuaded by money to determine the winner.

The God of Cookery competition in the society has already been contaminated with bad habits in the society. Do you think it's just a simple game? No, this is just a transaction closely related to society, money, and survival. It is a black box operation with a doomed ending.

The "joy" of "God of Cookery" is manifested in its comedic ending.

1. Stephen Zhou did not die under the gunman's gun, but escaped from the sky under the cover of turkey, and even accidentally crashed into the Shaolin Temple to learn cooking and martial arts.

2. Stephen Zhou ran away and was beaten many times, but he survived the hardship.

3. The dishes made by Stephen Chow won the Jade Emperor's favor, so much that Guanyin Bodhisattva went down to earth to reason.

4. Guanyin Bodhisattva is jealous of evil and imposes severe punishment on/intentionally hurt Stephen Chow.

5. Stephen Chow's sweetheart/turkey did not die, but became beautiful, from an extremely ugly person to a beautiful beauty.

6. Unforgettable for Turkey / Stephen Chow / I got my wish, a beautiful woman, and a good harvest in both career and love.

However, the probability of these five things happening at the same time is 1%*0%*0%*0%*0%. It is rude to say that this happy ending only exists in the movie, in people's imagination, and the probability of it really happening is zero.

Compared to the absurdity of the comedy ending, the details of those tragedies are indeed something that each of us has experienced more or less, and the world is playing out every day.

When we were young, we watched Zhou Xingchi's movies and found it funny, because the ugly people showed their fierceness, revealed their true nature, and died unnaturally. , and won the Grand Slam in the counterattack against the bad guys.

When we grow up, we revisit Stephen Chow's films, and feel the pain and empathy, but we have to / reluctantly / accept this / never / real and unbearable world. "God of Cookery" will not change the world. What it makes you swallow is actually "shit" wrapped in sugar.
