salt and sugar

The opening is eye-catching, and the ending is natural. The rhythm is lively, the burden is constant, the story is wonderful, and the ending is unexpected. It is my favorite Ang Lee's work.
English translation into "Eat Drink Man Woman" is also unthinkable. Because it's really hard to translate, diet men and women should be diet and men and women, not diet men and women. The French title translates to "salt and sugar", which seems to be more meaningful.
The source of the title - The Book of Rites says, "Eating and drinking, men and women, people's great desires exist". ... He also said that "people hide their hearts and cannot be measured", which shows that Chinese people's desires are particularly hidden and repressed. The father suppressed his feelings for his daughter, and just cooked every reunion dinner seriously. The eldest daughter always lives in a fantasy emotional world, but she finally let go of her feelings because of the students' mischief. Although the second child is independent, she also has a hidden desire to replace her mother and become the housewife in the family. The third child made a brave choice at the age of youth, and it was only after he thought that his best friend had abandoned his boyfriend that he finally got married with a lover. From one family, we can see the extremely introverted national character of the Chinese. But in the end, everyone broke through the heart barrier and successfully obtained happiness. It can be said that everyone is happy. But this may not be the case in reality. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but almost everyone is willing to walk into the besieged city. Responsibility to your family, rights to yourself, just like how much sugar and how much salt you put in, the result will be different.
Lao Zhu said that "the kind of consideration that arises from the heart is what makes a home a home", which seems to express the inexpressible feelings of many people about the concept of family. He seems to have another daughter in the end, and he still can't inherit his craftsmanship, but the soup made by the second child at the end of the film restores his sense of taste.

    20181205 finished taking notes yesterday. Ang Lee has been expressing "love", "the difficulty of love", "the suddenness of love" and "the immorality of love". In his stories, the strongest people are often the least courageous, because they have too many scruples to be reckless. His film technique teachers were Yasujiro Ozu and Hitchcock: Conflict of Delay and shot-reverse-shot. He has a lot of boyish hobbies. For example, when the cat is calling Chun, his father is copying the prescription for nourishing the kidney. For example, when the eldest sister is in love for the first time, it is the male body who has been injured and then recovered. He is very smart. After filming the wedding banquet, he used this to practice his skills and practiced how to make the audience identify with characters who were originally morally flawed. This is a very advanced skill. For the story, his basic idea is to first create a seemingly solid and well-functioning system, and then at a certain moment, cruelly extract a small part and watch the entire system collapse in an instant.

    It's really time to watch this kind of basic film until now. Wu Qianlian's role made me feel like sitting on pins and needles. Gui Yalei said to Xiao Shanshan: "If a child has such a mouthful mouth, he will definitely not be able to marry when he grows up." After the camera swept Wu, I had a slow epiphany. The problem may not even lie in beauty and talent, but in that fatal pride. This is just one of the secondary lines. Li An is so bad.
