If you are a food lover, then you must not miss this classic food movie "Eating Men and Women" directed by Ang Lee. The film tells the story of a traditional Taiwanese family, in which food is the bond that connects the emotions of father and daughter, and it is also a carrier to show the flavors of life.
The protagonist of the movie is a retired chef Lao Zhu, who has three daughters, namely the eldest daughter Jiaqi, the second daughter Jiaqian and the third daughter Jiarong. Lao Zhu prepares a table of sumptuous dishes for his daughters every Sunday, but the daughters turn a blind eye to his concern and have their own lives and troubles. Lao Zhu is also faced with the loss of taste, the death of an old friend and the development of a new relationship, and his life seems to have lost its color.
However, as the story develops, Lao Zhu and his daughters gradually open their hearts, understand and support each other, and food has become a bridge for them to communicate and a driving force for them to find happiness. Each dish in the movie has a special meaning, which not only shows Lao Zhu's cooking skills and thoughts, but also reflects the character and emotions of his daughters. For example, Lao Zhu used crucian carp soup to cure Jiaqi's cold, comforted Jiaqian's broken love with soy sauce chicken, celebrated Jiarong's marriage with hot and sour soup, expressed his love for his new wife with shark fin soup, said goodbye to old friends with pig's trotter vinegar, and welcomed the New Year with dumplings.
"Eating Men and Women" is a movie full of warmth and touching, which not only makes us salivate, but also makes us feel the power of family affection, the sweetness and bitterness of life, and the charm of food. If you haven't seen this movie yet, then I highly recommend you to watch it, and I'm sure you'll find your joy in the food and the story.
