Preface. 
As one of the greatest actors in Hollywood of this century, Nicolas Cage's achievements need no more to say.
Although he is the nephew of "The Godfather" director Coppola, he is willing to set up his own sign, change his stage name and compete on a level playing field with actors who work as hard as him.
Although nicknamed the king of bad movies, everyone also knows that even in bad movies, Cage's performance is one of the few bright spots in those works.
And now, with the end of the debt turmoil, this true performing artist finally has the right to choose for himself again.
The ensuing movie "Pig" is the creation of his passion and painstaking efforts.
Although it didn't have much box office, the relatively literary and elegant style also made the film get a good rating from critics, and it can be regarded as a good first shot for his official return.
Stay in the woods. The opening scene of the film depicts the life of such an old man in the woods, Robin (played by Nicolas Cage).
He stood alone among the mountains and forests, the lake flowing past him, the smoke of the flames drifting into the sky, and the word loneliness was about to come out.
But he himself is not alone.
With a whistle, a cute truffle pig ran to his side and accompanied him in the mountains and forests to find the precious ** ingredient "truffle".
Finally, after a day of searching, Robin makes a delicious meal of the mushrooms he has picked and enjoys himself and the Truffle Pig.
The truffles were given to the connector to be sold in the city.
The Connector, Emile, was a young businessman who drove a dazzling yellow-and-black Chevrolet through the dirt to the old man's cabin.
Although his words are unforgiving, he is Robin's only connection to the outside world.
Not only does Emile help buy and sell truffles, but Emir often brings Robin some of the necessities of life.
Despite this, the two did not have a deep relationship, and after handing over the goods, they didn't talk a few words, and there were only people and pigs left in this quiet forest.
That night, the Truffle Pig was disturbed by some movement outside the house and could not sleep for a long time.
Mistaken for frightened by the jackal's nighttime cry as it walks through the forest, Robin runs over to soothe it.
As a result, someone suddenly smashed the simple door panel on the side and knocked him down, and although he pulled out the knife, he was old and frail and had no ability to fight back.
I could only lie on the ground and listen to the neighing of the truffle pig gradually fade away.
For a moment, the silence of this forest turned into silence.
Robin wakes up weakly leaning against the wall and trying to get his only friend by whistling.
But he was greeted only by the rattle of the wind through the leaves.
Returning to the world to find pigs. After realizing what was happening, Robin didn't even clean the wound on his head.
directly pulled the broken engine of his old truck that had fallen into disrepair.
The result was not surprising, and the whole car was scrapped directly before it had not traveled much distance.
Robin can only rely on himself to re-enter the civilized society of mankind.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Robin rushes to a street-side restaurant and tries to find an old acquaintance to help, only to learn that the other person died ten years ago.
For the first time, a helpless Robin felt how the world had changed in the time he had been away.
Robin then borrowed ** and called the young man Emile, who was helping him sell truffles, and it wasn't long before his bright yellow Camaro stopped at the door of the restaurant.
But the noisy young man who kept honking the horn did not make a good impression on him, and the two even started a silent quarrel in the car over whether to turn on the radio.
Later, with the help of the woodland ranger, they found the person who had stolen the truffle pig.
But the pig itself has long been nowhere to be found, and the only clue left is "a city man".
Emile tries to convince Robin to buy a new one to train on, but Robin tells him that training a Truffle Pig that is not good enough will cost him a full season's production.
Emile, who relied on the truffle sales industry, had no choice but to compromise and take Robin to the city to find what he called a "friend from the past".
As the car gradually moves out of the mountains and into the city.
Once again, Robin felt a strangeness and powerlessness as if he had heard of his friend's death.
Robin found an old friend who was still active in the restaurant industry.
He even went out of his way to borrow money from Emir to buy him dinner, hoping to get news from him about his truffle pig.
But after the other party's shock and doubt, the only answer was "You don't exist anymore." ”
Emile was also surprised to realize that the wild man in the woods who had been helping him pick truffles actually knew Edgar, a well-known boss in the industry.
As a result, before the Emile could ask who he was, he was dragged all the way by Robin to the secret Portland Hotel.
And Edgar was here, holding a boxing ring for all the off-duty employees to vent their anger. Employees can spend money and enjoy the opportunity to beat up the elite of other industries here.
The old man wrote "Robin. Field" immediately caught everyone's attention.
One of the employees, who seemed to know him well, spent a lot of money to experience this brief period of violence.
Edgar accepted the bet, and after watching Robin get beaten up like this, he was still able to stand up and ask him for information.
I reluctantly wrote him an address.
Despite the time to look tough on the field, Robin fell to the side as soon as he left the hotel.
The emir could only take him back to his apartment.
After waking up the next morning, Emir not only treated Robin's wounds.
Tell him, Robin. Field's restaurant has left one of the most cherished memories of his parents.
After that, the two went to the restaurant address given by Edgar.
Not only is the food quite expensive, but the waiters will be like a tour guide with a long and meaningless introduction, just like a noble commercial restaurant.
After a short tasting, Robin asks for a conversation with the chef.
It turns out that Chef Fenway had worked as a prep chef for Robin, who was later fired for overcooking pasta.
During the conversation, Robin discovers that all the dishes on the winter menu are truffle-based, and that he and his truffle pig are the only ones who can provide so many truffles nearby.
However, under interrogation, Fenway is unwilling to explain the whereabouts of the truffle pig.
Robin looks at his flashy, public-cater restaurant and asks where the guy he used to want to open Inn's Bar has gone
Although he never admitted it, he eventually fell into deep thought after discovering that he still remembered the bar signature dish that he had in mind in his past.
Robin said that he has been living such a life of self-loss, and sooner or later he will lose everything.
Fenway finally told the truth and slowly looked at the emir on the side.
Robin, who learns that Emir's father is involved in the matter, gets into an argument with Emir.
Robin wants to bring back his Truffle Pig from his father, but Emir doesn't dare to confront him.
Although Emir agrees to help him train a new Truffle Pig at his own expense, Robin is unwilling to compromise.
Eventually, Robin and the two parted ways after getting the address of Emir's father.
Robin without the Emir, in order to get to that address.
Even to grab the bikes of young people on the street.
Emile, on the other hand, went outside the ward to speak to his mother, and he talked about Robin and his cafeteria.
Before his mother was hospitalized in a suicide attempt, that was the thing she remembered the most.
Robin, who meets Emir's father, discovers that he already controls all the restaurants in the city.
Because truffles are a very commercially valuable ingredient, preparations began to be made for Robin's truffle pig after Robin's first trade with Emir was discovered.
In the end, Robin could only walk out of this gorgeous villa without power.
Listening to the words of being exhorted to buy a new pig again, he staggered towards the emir, who was leaning against the car at the door.
Robin, who was sitting on the side of the car, began to confess for the first time.
He didn't need a pig to look for the truffle, the tree would show the way, but the truffle pig was the last thing his wife left him to remember.
Talking about this, Robin suddenly came up with an idea.
He gave the Emir a list and asked him to use his name to get all the ingredients on the list.
Past dinners.
Emile did Robin's request to look for the ingredients, only to find his deceased wife, Laurie, in one of the locations. Field's tombstone, the location next to it was even specially reserved for Robin.
Such a brief moment also made Emile truly realize Robin's obsession with the truffle pig, just as he and his father couldn't let go of his mother.
Robin, on the other hand, has returned to his old storefront, which is now a bakery.
Seeing that the baker he had hired was still here, he finally saw a familiar and friendly face after being confused for so long.
In the end, the two returned to Emir's house with the ingredients.
Robin, who was accustomed to living alone for many years, began to teach Emile how to make the dish that had haunted his parents for years.
Eventually, the two brought dinner to his father's side.
Although he has always been a little impatient, he still did not refuse to cook for the sake of the two of them.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward at first, but after Emir's father had tasted the wine and the main course, the taste of everything seemed to bring him back to that perfect night, the night when his wife was still alive.
In the end, he couldn't hold back the pain in his heart, got up and left the table.
Robin, who caught up, said that he remembered every dish he made and every guest he served.
Although the emir's father was ultimately sincere by this, the truth he told was cruel.
Originally, on the night the Truffle Pig was taken away, because the kidnappers were too rough, it had already died at the time of delivery.
Hearing this, Robin, who had always been expressionless, fell to the ground and began to cry bitterly.
At the end of the dinner, everything condensed into the past.
A few days later, the truffle hunter returned to his lonely life in the mountains.
It seems that nothing has changed, but it seems that everything has changed.
Epilogue. It's a simple story about a simple truth where people always feel like they need to live on something.
We attach our nostalgia for the past to those objects, longing to stop the constant flow of time through them.
But life does not go backwards, the past is frozen the moment it happens.
All we can do is keep going.
