Before watching the movie, I learned about the characteristics and history of French cuisine. As one of the three major cuisines in the world, the development of French cuisine to its peak is inseparable from the social, economic, cultural, geographical and other factors of the country. Only with social stability can we have the energy to think about how to make dishes elegant and refined. For hundreds of years in modern times, France itself has long been the country with the most extensive area, the best agricultural conditions, and the richest geographical and climatic environment in Europe. I don’t know where I heard a sentence. France’s products are the most abundant in the world. Not only is France rich in local ingredients, but in the centuries of the Middle Ages, the most developed trade point of European commercial civilization was in France, which is similar to Europe. Common countries like colonial trade, so France brings together ingredients and spices from all continents.
The melodious melody at the beginning of the film can tell that this is a very lighthearted and humorous film. The French food interspersed in the play is beautiful and makes people feel very healing.
The plot of the whole movie is relatively simple. What surprised me is that the focus of the movie is not on the production and introduction of food.
One of the protagonists in the movie is Alexander, played by Renault, who has maintained three Michelin stars for 15 years. From the beginning of his love of cooking to the pursuit of fame and fortune for commercial cooking after his wife's death, he only thinks about his own business. , ignoring the closest daughter. The biggest change is to understand the importance of family love <
The second protagonist is Jack, who is a big fan of Alexander and a very talented cook himself. From the beginning of the movie, we can see that he is critical of food and pursues perfection. When I was forced to go to the nursing home to paint the walls, I gave advice to the three guys in the kitchen on how to make plain food more delicious, and unexpectedly gained the love and popularity of all the elderly in the nursing home. Alexander was in a hurry to deal with the approaching star selection and went to the doctor and chose Jack as his assistant. Jack gave Alexander a lot of surprises and surprises. Even with ordinary ingredients in the corner grocery store, he could make delicious food. I didn't expect that the crisis of being fired was successfully resolved in the end, and won the unanimous praise of the star selection committee.
In the "battle" in the face of the emerging molecular cuisine, we saw the strength of the team, and the three chefs in the nursing home also became part of the team. The part where the trick helps Alexander and Jack go to their rival's restaurant to find out what's going on makes me laugh.
This movie is perfect for learning French, the dialogue is easy to understand and there are many words.
What impressed me the most was that Jack was depressed and even wanted to give up the opportunity to stay with Alexander after facing the boss's ridicule. His wife called him to ask him about the situation. When Jack said that he was not a cook, She replied angrily, "You have excuses every time. It's terrible. Why do you always give up halfway? How do you know what you will do if you don't finish something?"
In fact, in this case, Jack's thoughts also appear to us from time to time. In life and study, we always have many excuses to escape, those who encounter setbacks and difficulties do not dare to face them, and those who encounter new things do not dare to face them. Dare to try. In fact, in many cases, as long as you wave the shovel one more time, the requested water source will come to you. In many cases, it is not our strong opponents that defeat us, but our timid ego.
Overall, it's a lighthearted and witty movie worth watching.
