In fact, the biggest purpose of this film is to self-examine: don't waste food!

I clearly still vaguely remember the scene when "Delicious Food" was released in the mainland. How can I find out that this film was actually made in 2009. Time flies so fast, time is not forgiving.

watching this film, I was a little puzzled and felt that the plot was a little far-fetched. But after thinking about it, isn't this the routine of many disaster films today? That is: The culprit of many disasters is human beings, and in the end human beings are the only actors who save the world.

1 The most touching part of the film is the father-son relationship. A father cannot express his love for his son with his mouth, and in the end he can only convey his inner thoughts through a machine. This deep but inexpressible action is a true portrayal of many contemporary father-son relationships who are not good at communication. Moreover, I think that the plot setting and bridge arrangement of the whole film showing the relationship between father and son are also the highlight of this film. . Including the love that the policeman expresses to his son all the time is also a complete contrast to the gap between the hero and his father.

2 The part that makes me wonder about this movie is the "As You Like It" at the end. This little science geek finally became a hero who saved the world, and the whole people applauded happily. I don't think so. Don't they forget that he is actually the "initiator" of the act of creating "food from the sky"? Although the mayor who is single-mindedly trying to stand out is the one behind it, but he also caused the world crisis to appear because he wanted to go from a geek who everyone avoids to a popular person who everyone likes. Maybe I'm asking too much from cartoons, everyone wanna a happy ending. So no matter how high the price people pay for their greed, in the end we all become the saviors who save ourselves.

There are so many similar movies. Isn't "Jurassic Park" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" just because we humans have resurrected dinosaurs/allowed orangutans to have high IQs, thus bringing about a crisis that threatens human existence? There are also all kinds of movies that make "artificial intelligence" but endanger their own existence because they can't control super intelligent robots.

Really, apart from tornadoes, earthquakes and other natural disasters (in fact, natural disasters are also due to the over-exploitation of natural resources by humans), many of the root causes of world crises are our human greed, selfishness and excessive consumption.

3 And the last problem reflected in this film, I think everyone has ignored: that is - waste. Humans' yearning for food is universal. It is also because of the unrestrained requirements and consumption of food. Every year, the garbage and waste caused by food often become the focus of media exposure. White pollution, river pollution, and non-renewable waste consumption have become worldwide problems. . And the food that fell from the sky in this film also destroyed the whole town because of the huge waste piled up like a mountain. Although the story of the film is exaggerated, the issues raised are very sincere. Since childhood, we have been taught that "the day of hoeing the weeds is noon, and the sweat drips down the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work". Don't waste food, you eat a little, throw a little, and many poor areas such as Africa die of starvation every day. Thinking about it is also educational.

If a film can be thought-provoking at the end, that's enough.

    Flying House is not qualified to compare with this film. Pixar should be ashamed. I have no intention of questioning anyone's aesthetics and viewing angle, but Pixar's feature film should not be located where they are now. Technology The previous film is not necessarily weaker than the Flying House. When it comes to the structure, creativity and setting of the film, the Flying House is completely defeated. I love the story of nerd saving the world, and Wali is no more shocking than Meatball Planet. Recommend
