Snowflake beef + unopened scallops are not as mysterious and artistic as you think

I feel that it is the same type of film as "Memoirs of a Geisha", under the banner of tradition, epic, literature and art, making it a bit mysterious. It's just two more generations of people switching and crossing each other.
The director tried his best to create a touching scene, but unfortunately, too many things were explained, which made the foreshadowing of feelings not enough. Somehow they became real old friends, and somehow they broke up over that one point of disagreement. Somehow Sophia had to force Nina to go to New York in a hateful way.
The people in the play turn around a thousand times and have a lot of thoughts. We are still outsiders, sitting outside the big screen and watching them indifferently and suffering, without being touched at all.
Of course, I think there are still bright spots in the film. Different from other emotional films, he captures the friendship and expression between real women, which are rarely paid attention to at present. I believe that it is not hypocrisy, nor homosexuality, but pure, clean, and thorough friendship.
I rushed to see it as soon as it was released, because I had great hopes, looked forward to it, and felt very mysterious. Yesterday, I told a friend that I was going to see "Snowflake Secret Fan". He joked that it was like the name of a dish. When I asked why, he replied: Snowflake beef + unopened scallops
. Thinking about it now, as expected, this movie Just like this, a very artistic name is actually just a dish, not as mysterious and artistic as you think.
