Zhuo Yan's growth journey is a unique chapter in dealing with women's taboo topics. Whether it is the dismissal of the hospital, the anxiety of her father's serious illness, or the hasty appearance and departure of the male protagonist, as well as her father's deep understanding, it has become the most precious gift in her life, as if it is a fairy tale carefully woven by fate.
Zhuo Yan's rebirth stems from her courage to face her heart's desire. In the shadows of the past, she had been a submissive daughter, a good girl who was everywhere outside the kitchen, overwhelmed by her father's majesty and the established trajectory of her life. After five years of sexless marriage with her husband, in name only, lacking the warmth of love and the passion of life, Zhuo Yan never really examined her psychological or physical desires, and she never even explored whether she could tolerate spicy food and what her preferences were for food.
Until the appearance of Hong Kong chef Jia Hao, like the arrangement of fate, he unexpectedly entered her life with the hope of changing the fate of the restaurant and the exploration of the future direction. In the symphony of pots and pans, Jiahao's cooking skills not only awakened Zhuo Yan's taste buds, but also ignited her inner passion. The relationship between the two is as Freud described, from the initial period of oral desire, and gradually deepens into the deeper sea of desire.
At the end of the movie, Zhuo Yan finally broke through the shackles in her heart and achieved self-liberation. This process is not only a release of the social, family and spiritual pressures that women are under, but also a call for self-awareness for all women. The pole dancing scene in the film is a symbol of women's physical and mental emancipation.
The realm of love and sexuality is strange and distant. But it's all around us. The understanding and liberation of it may be a small flag of our self-awakening. Perhaps in the process of self-exploration and liberation, we can find our true selves, not be swayed by others or circumstances, and thus face life's challenges with confidence.
