Where does happiness come from

The most common evaluation of this film I have seen is four words-plain and unremarkable.

Plain is true, but unremarkable is not necessarily. The plot is not ups and downs, great joy and sadness; the ending is not unexpected; even Catherine is no longer amazing. But none of this is actually important. The important and plain story gives us a strong sense of happiness.

Happiness is the only feeling after watching this film. Delicious food, a fulfilling life, touching family affection, romantic love, all the elements of happiness are integrated and flowed out gently.

It's a pity that this kind of happiness is not likable, and I don't know why. Maybe people are already happy enough to disdain to appreciate the happiness of others? Maybe it’s too unhappy to see the happiness of others? Or just don’t need such happiness?

Where does happiness come from? I’m afraid no one can answer this question. Everyone’s definition and expectations of happiness are different. Some people think that it is happiness to have a lot of money and a lot of money. Everyone yearns for their own happiness and strives to pursue their own happiness, but never finds how hard and how unfortunate they are on the road to pursue happiness. However, this is life. The cruelty of life lies in giving you a beautiful future, but making you give everything for it. When you reach the future, you find that you have nothing. So we need such a movie to remind ourselves of what we have overlooked and what we have forgotten, so that we can recall the feeling of happiness.

We can tolerate Korean dramas using dozens of episodes to describe the sadness of life and death. Taiwanese films use dozens of hours to create the fantasy of Cinderella. Why can't we tolerate it more? Let a movie take two hours to describe the plain happiness Woolen cloth?

    Life has been so difficult, and I have to eat food and love movies to soothe my already battered heart.

    I have to say, this remake is much better than the German one. Although the plot is completely copied, the wrinkled corners of the once British Rose's eyes are still shining brightly. The little actor is also good, sigh and say 'MAN'! The male sous chef wears colorful trousers and rubber shoes, especially in the strict kitchen!
