The story seems simple, but it has deep meaning. A genius mouse with a keen sense of smell, got a lot of experience from the TV show of the cooking god of human beings. By chance, he entered the restaurant where the chef was alive, and under his command, the mouse relatives cooked unbelievably good dishes, so that a caustic food critic Kebo completely dispelled his previous concerns about the chef." Everyone can cook” prejudice. Wrote such a comment: a trivial person may also create magic. Although this story is about a trivial rat who lives in the sewers and wants to kill it, it eventually becomes a magical symbol. Of course, the result tells us not only the superficial joy of gourmet food and the legend of the rat, perhaps even if Humble, if you have faith, you can also change your own situation, life and identity; even if you are humble, others should not despise them, because they will also have their own magical abilities. This is probably a portrayal of the slogans such as the struggle for equality that Americans like to promote.
There is a plot in it. After eating the first bite of the pastoral stir-fry made by the "rat" chef, the food critic Kebo suddenly thought back to the delicious food made by his mother when he was a child. There was a rare soft emotion in his eyes, as if with tears in his eyes, and then he decided to give this dish a five-star rating. Also at that moment, tears welled up in my eyes immediately, a seemingly insipid detail, but it was very touching. There are a few people who have not felt the love of their mothers and have nostalgic for the delicious food made by their mothers. Maybe we have forgotten them in our ordinary life. However, when we revisit them one day, the emotions contained in love have a huge infectious ability.
This is how American movies are. The reason why they can swept the world is that the production is really very delicate, the ordinary is special, and the ordinary is affectionate. Unlike some domestic films and televisions, they want to be sensational, so they use disparity or provocative language behaviors to help out, but then they cannot achieve the most profound effect.
I have also seen a movie "Love of Virginia" recently, and it has the same finesse in details. A 99-year-old black American, who has crossed the entire American continent, hitchhiked back to his dream hometown of Virginia on foot. He was born and raised here, sold to other states as an adult, and as he gets older, he misses the hometown where he had fond memories of his childhood and teenage years, and he wants to die here on the land. Even though he used to be a slave of this family, the old man said that he was born as a member of the Dai family and died as a ghost of the Dai family.
In the end, he found the Dai family who used to be the farm. They were the fourth generation and lost their land management during the recession of the 1930s. The family finally realized the feelings of the old man. He not only wanted to return to this land, but more importantly, to return to those separated family members who had loved him. Soon after the old man saw the manor, he closed his eyes with satisfaction. Although it was troublesome for white people to bury black people according to the law at the time, the descendants of the Dai family still managed to bury him in their family's cemetery.
When the old man was buried, the Dai family's children put the old man's pocket watch (presumably a gift from the old man's mother to the old man when he was a child) gently on the old man's chest, and said softly: let it be closest to your heart .
Seeing this, I still have tears in my eyes, and let love be closest to the heart of this deceased old man. Simple language and simple behavior, however, touched the heart and moved people deeply. He must be reunited with his relatives who have been separated for many years in another world.
Family affection, mother's love, father's love, etc., will always touch the softest part of the human heart, making people warm, touching and memorable.
