      rare warmth

      I was going to watch "Apocalypse", but I walked into the hall of Lunchbox, which seemed to fulfill the sentence that I got on the wrong train but went to the right place.

      Mumbai, the city is wet and muddy, the kitchen is oily and twisted, and the trains are cluttered and crowded, making it unpleasant to look at. There everyone is repeating the same routine. A man at work, a woman cooking lunch with a child at home, a food delivery worker. This kind of repetition is not easy, and even...

      life in a lunch box

      Trains, lunch boxes, day after week. These elements are indispensable elements of the film. "Delicious Love Letters" not only shows us the picture of Mumbai, India, but also brings us a story that is not as strong as curry. Coincidentally, the two people who were depressed about life communicated in the most traditional way of letters. Since then, they have been a little more happy and a little more looking forward to it. "Even if you get on the wrong train, you can get to the right station."...

      The details are very good, but the three views are different

      At the beginning, the heroine nags to her daughter: You can't play under the big tree, play in the puddle, you can't play this or that... The little girl's left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, the little girl has two braids and two bows, Jumping and going to school,
      potholes, roads, pedestrians, bicycles, traffic jams, shoeshine, a small stall selling a few packs of cigarettes to support credit, and our life scene (especially in China in the past few years), I smiled knowingly when...

      don't let them meet

      There are spoilers
      in fact, they don't need to meet
             because they have anguish in their hearts and can't talk about it, they will believe the person they have never met with the lunch box connection; because the current situation makes people feel helpless, they will try to propose to strangers to run away together .
             Judging from the plot where they can't meet in the end (and an ending that aims to make the audience's fantasies drift away), the director...

      Patience with reality and romance with transformation

      The film is told slowly, you need to be patient and watch it slowly~
      Like many Indian films, there is no acting skills in the first 20 minutes, which is quite boring~
      Slowly everything makes sense, and the surprises spread little by little~
      In the film I really like the famous saying in the movie~
      The simplicity of the Indians in the film is very fond of~
      They didn't go to Bhutan together, the ending was open, and they didn't express anything deliberately, but this...

    Evaluation action

    The rhythm of "Dabba" is extremely slow, but the urban scenes and details of life are rich and steady, plain and moving. The film captures the urban and rural scenes of Mumbai from a calm perspective, with food delivery guys riding bicycles, cities rushing to and fro in the rain, trains going back and forth between the city and the country, various people in the cars, and even Ferrandi The daily ecology of the company where I work is...

    Movie quotes

    • Saajan Fernandes: When my wife died, she got a horizontal burial cot... I tried to buy a burial cot for myself the other day, and what they offered me was a vertical one... I've spent my whole life standing in trains and buses... now I'll even have to stand when I'm dead!

    • Ila: Somwhere I read that the wrong train can lead you to the right station...

    • Saajan Fernandes: I think we forget things if there is nobody to tell them.
