very interesting

I didn't have any expectations when I first read the profile, the story of an Indian man and a French woman? It must be very bloody, but I didn't expect the plot to be quite interesting, a light-hearted comedy. I still remember when the Indian restaurant was about to open at the beginning, because of Mrs. Mallory's obstruction, I had to go far away to buy ingredients. After returning To keep the ingredients fresh is like rescuing an emergency patient, that part is quite interesting.
Across the street, there are two happy friends, one is a Michelin restaurant, and the other is a "Peranakan" Indian restaurant where the owner will bargain. In fact, the main line interspersed is Mrs. Mallory's attitude towards the Indian family, and the plot slowly progresses with the changes in Mrs. Mallory's feelings. Not to mention, although Mrs. Mallory was a little arrogant and cold-blooded at first, she was a very warm and wise person who took care of the overall situation. She knew that her subordinates were too aggressive and would be dismissed decisively; One wall belongs to the people of the town, so I took the initiative to paint the wall; although it was out of self-interest, it gave Hassan a chance and accepted their family, so Mrs. Mallory is actually a very open-minded woman, and her whole person Capable and elegant, it's my favorite character.
Let's talk about the heroine. The heroine is really very temperamental. The scene of her shopping for vegetables moved me very much. Going to the market to buy vegetables, going to the wild to pick vegetables has a noble and elegant temperament, and wearing a chef's uniform in the kitchen When I cook, my back is very straight when viewed from the side. It is definitely a role model for me to learn from. I can practice such a temperament anytime.
There is also the role of the father in the play. If not for the firmness of the father at the beginning, and the ridicule of the people around him who wanted to stay and open an Indian restaurant, this story would not have started, so the male protagonist should thank this good father.
Hassan went to Paris to become a chef and was a little inspirational. Although Indians are a bit idealistic, it still arouses the idea of ​​me wanting to go to the three-star Michelin one day to taste delicious food.
In the end, the framing is beautiful, especially Mrs. Mallory's advancement of the camera from one side to the other, and I feel that the town life is very beautiful.
