Like life

I rarely watch niche movies unless resources are readily available. This Big Night was contributed by Weibo, so I saved it and watched it that night.

The smooth story, the tacit understanding and familiarity of the two brothers in the kitchen, can hardly feel that this is a performance, as if the camera just entered a restaurant kitchen to shoot.

In the United States in the 1950s, the newly immigrated Italian brothers. The new immigrants’ English, self-confidence in the food of their hometown, a small restaurant called Paradise, the chef with excellent craftsmanship, and the younger brother in charge of marketing. Just like our lives, full of unnamed confidence and inexplicable barriers to failure.

When I walked into a Sichuan restaurant, I probably went for spicy food, and it was not normal not to eat seafood when I went to the beach. The Italian cuisine in the hearts of Americans in the 1950s is like the meal that the lady ordered. A serving of pasta with meatballs served as a side dish of risotto. So the elder brother became angry. Although the younger brother did not look down on this kind of defiled food ordering, the business belonged to the business, in short, it was just for her.

A restaurant that sells fine food is going bankrupt. This is the movie, this is also the life.

Asking for help from fellow villagers, desperately spending all his savings, only to stand up for Big Night, but was placed with one. But what? When I get up the next day, I still have to eat the egg rolls for breakfast, and my brothers are still brothers.

Focusing only on the movies of two brothers and a small restaurant, there is no bitterness, no gloom and complaints.

    This is the way the food is, when you cook it, it smells delicious, and after you eat it, there is chicken feathers all over the place. But there's always a next meal, right? Uncle Tuqi is very good at cooking.
