The word "supper" usually means the last meal, and during the day, supper is the last meal, and there is a famous painting "The Last Supper" that talks about Jesus' last time on earth. The word usually means desolation and bitterness, because when the last meal is eaten, a period of time is over, and a movie is coming to an end. But at the same time, saying goodbye to an old time means ushering in a new time. End means beginning. It's always going to start, it's always going to end.
Dinner is also a meal, a relatively stable meal, night falls, pots and pans, the family gets together to eat a meal, and then enjoy the joy of the world. Finally hugging each other into sleep, how comfortable and happy it is. Therefore, dinner also has the meaning of good night, everything is fine, and after eating, it is more beautiful and comfortable.
This is the truth that people can get from the careful taste of life, but this truth has a premise, no matter which kind, it is inseparable from the person who cooks, which is the deep meaning derived from the most basic needs of human beings. With demand, eating can eat out of other meanings. Of course, this demand is inseparable for everyone. Of course, movies such as "Eating Men and Women" have sublimated eating to varying degrees, and "China on the Tip of the Tongue" has been traced back to the origin of eating. They also all illustrate the truth that when life continues, when life continues, everything will have meaning.
Today I recommend a movie about family affection, the core of the movie is of course related to eating. When it comes to eating, many places have their own unique insights, before watching a Movie in Wuhan "The Taste of Hot Dry Noodles", he mainly talked about a kind of inheritance related to eating, and the people of Chongqing suddenly did not want to show weakness. A bowl of hot dry noodles can eat so many dishes, so a plate of braised pork? What about a minced pepper fish head? So, today's protagonist "Daddy's Dinner" came out.
"Daddy's Dinner" is about a father who has reached the twilight of his life and has been declared a death sentence by illness, and begins the process of wandering dining with his four children. The father took his dog and drove in his own car on a long and short journey. His four children are no longer around, the eldest son manages a company, busy all day to give up his family, the second daughter found a dying old man as a companion, the third son although as the head chef of a high-end restaurant, but he is always unhappy, because his ideal is a pilot, and his father insists on letting him be a cook.
The younger son is the most reassuring to his father, who was now in prison because his father scolded him for leaving home at an early age. And this father felt that his time was short, so every time he went to the home of a child, he tried to make a meal for them. Eventually, the father saw all the children, and he died on his way home.
This is a small-budget film, but it is also a film and television work with a very strong local nature, and even has the role of local publicity. However, apart from these labels, this film is still very good. A simple story, a question related to family affection, a group of people in modern life who each have their own want to live or pursue, and a family affection that cannot be abandoned. This accumulation is enough to make a good work. And this enough comes from the heart.
There are no big scenes in the whole film, nor any star stacking, just some raw faces, actors that everyone is not familiar with and regions that everyone knows. An old man, with a dog, is already very dramatic in itself, but there are still some stories of separation between this old man and several of his children.
Man will die, and his words will be good. From the fragmented memories in the film, we can know that the old man has a bad temper when he is young, which is why in modern society, the exchange of information between a person who owns a smart phone and his children is so poor. But it is also like this, the emotion that the mobile phone cannot express is perfectly reflected by a person, a dog, and a worn-out jeep. Imagine if it were just a video call with your own children, would there still be an emotional tone in this film?
The estrangement will always be eliminated at the last moment, we advocate that the dead are great, even if they are not reasonable when they are alive, when the father of the twilight years goes to find his own children one by one to personally ask for forgiveness with a table of delicacies, naturally no one cares about the displeasure of the past. And the emotion of this film lies in the inheritance, when their grandchildren can skillfully fry a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, we believe that the old man is at ease. This is true of people, and so are animals, and when the old dog ran hundreds of kilometers back home, I believe many people resonated with that emotion. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the special feeling of animals for human beings for a long time is still there, just like the old man when he is dying, as if he sees his young son.
Simple stories, simple shots, a group of simple people to tell a simple story, there is a father who is a chef can not only make a delicious meal for you, but more importantly, let you always remember the taste, remember a root.
