He kept playing, but never looked at it. I have accumulated more than 20 copies during a holiday. It feels very fulfilling.
Then, after Harry had watched it, after the floor had been wiped, when he didn't know what to do, he turned it out and watched it.
What I turned out today is "Delicious Love", using the leftover mushroom pork rib soup and leftover rice from the day before yesterday, and the rice noodles cooked with shell rice noodles left over yesterday.
Chowder-style rice is my favorite. In the past, when I was at home, I would often cook rice with Chinese New Year dishes to watch the Spring Festival Gala. (Don't eat New Year's Eve rice, don't watch the Spring Festival Gala for a long time.)
After seeing the beginning, I think this movie is very familiar. I definitely saw it in Xiaoxitian. Looking further, it seems a little bit different again. Although the kitchen looks alike, the apartment the heroine lives in seems to be too grand and luxurious.
I checked it on the Internet and found that this American movie is indeed a remake of the German or Italian movie "Tasty Relationship" (or "The Secret of the Kitchen") from 2001. A rigorous and rigid female chef, because of the unexpected arrival of her niece (her mother was in a car accident), she changed the trajectory of her life. The core of the change was that an outgoing, cheerful, and enthusiastic man became her sous chef. Then, a love is made in the kitchen.
The plot is similar. The actors are much worse. I vaguely remember that the heroine in the old one was short-haired, thin, and a little nervous. In this remake, the Catherine Zeta-Jones version of the heroine has a full sky and a round chin, which is too dignified. Even with the scene of her going to see a psychiatrist, she doesn't think she has that kind of neurotic temperament. What I like is the neurotic version. A woman who uses some external principles and paranoia about her career to strengthen her inner self and hide her fragility is a little bit neurotic.
I still vaguely remember that there is a plot about the meeting between the niece and the biological father in the old version (I saw it a few years ago, but I don’t remember it clearly). In short, I think there is a relationship in the old version besides love. A woman pretending to be self-sufficient, how to face sudden responsibilities and attachments (little niece), and sudden challenges and getting along (male sous chef), and how children face the new environment of losing their mother.
The new version is strengthened into a theme, love. fair enough. It's easy enough.
But I don’t quite understand what the Americans’ intention is to remake the movie almost like a gourd like this? Is it to be lazy, or do cultural exchanges through English?
