Although you say so, it doesn't prevent me from liking it at all.
Zhou Dongyu and Takeshi Kaneshiro's Like You, for me, is definitely a pleasant surprise.
The story is actually very cliche: the love story of a female diaosi and an overbearing president.
Jin Lu, the male host played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, is a standard successful person, worth $35 billion, with assets all over the world. He holds the power of life and death in major international hotels and has the power to seize power with money.
Gu Shengnan, the heroine played by Zhou Dongyu, is a creative chef who focuses on food. She is a good cook, but she muddles along in life. Is a standard female diaosi.
What connects them is a series of delicious food with excellent creativity and first-class taste.
Takeshi Kaneshiro loves to eat, and Zhou Dongyu loves to cook.
We have seen many such platitudes.
So, why is such an ordinary or even vulgar story well received by most people?
Up to now, Douban scored 7.3, and more than half of the people gave the film more than 4 stars (out of 5).
I think it's the physical pleasure brought by this movie. That kind of sweet and astringent doping, careless grin, makes people feel exciting.
Sweet, full of the whole story.
As a standard gourmet, Jin Lu, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, is almost demanding on food.
When water boils at 100 degrees, it will volatilize the flavor of noodles. Noodles will be cooked in three minutes, but they will play the most important role when they are not infiltrated. Time is the enemy of noodles, and how to control time is the key.
Soak in hot water first, pour out the water completely and then put it into the seasoning bag. Then add hot water to soak, calculate the time, and enjoy the first bite of food at the moment when the specified time comes.
Because the noodles in one second taste completely different from those in the next.
Pickiness also means concentration. Jin Lu's devotion to food is almost unparalleled, so he can have a bite of instant noodles like a Manchu banquet.
For food lovers, when the favorite food is chewed repeatedly in the mouth, the sweetness is in the taste buds.
And Zhou Dongyu Gu Chengnan is a noisy advocate. She is not beautiful, and her figure is not as delicate as her best friend. In the words of "ex-boyfriend" (wishful love object), she is like leek in the meat market, dry and tasteless.
She is eccentric and unrestrained. After "lovelorn", I ran around on the roof in the middle of the night, sloppy and lazy, and even my bedroom was made like a kennel.
But just like this, she is meticulous in cooking, passionate and dedicated, and can make all kinds of imaginative, creative and exquisite food to make the taste buds submit.
This sense of contrast also makes her look particularly cute. Crying makes people want to laugh, and laughing makes people sweet.
The sweetest thing is the subtle feeling of ignorance between two people.
Have you ever tried to open an umbrella on a bus?
Have you ever felt sad and dissatisfied because the person you like ate food cooked by another opposite sex?
Have you ever tried to do something that only fools do when you are in love?
I think there is.
Therefore, many romantic and absurd plots in the story have extremely real penetrating power.
It makes your eyes moist unconsciously and your nose sour unconsciously. Laugh till you are tired, sweet till you cry, and greedy till you drool.
Looking at Gu, who is lying in bed in a mess, is like seeing another self.
The hero and heroine who ate puffer fish food poisoning entered the fantasy world.
They imagine that it is raining cats and dogs indoors, and people can control the rainfall by shouting.
They walked under the clear night sky with umbrellas. They raised their umbrellas on the bus. Gu picked up the fallen umbrella handle as a hair dryer and seriously helped the overbearing president blow his hair.
Jin Lu, who was stupid and always aloof and difficult to do, followed suit, died of poisoning and still accompanied her after waking up.
This is probably the favorite power in the legend, which makes people different.
Let introverted people become lively, serious people become cheerful, and lonely people become warm.
No one is watching them, naturally they are stupid and happy, and they don't care about the laughing eyes around them like crazy people.
Gu said, it's raining so hard, why don't they take an umbrella? Are they jealous that only we have umbrellas?
When you are in love, your IQ seems to drop.
Immersed in the joy of love, doing what we think is "right", seeing people around you think they must be envious and jealous, but in fact, people really just regard you as a stupid pen.
But who cares, the two of us, just be happy.
He was nominated twice for best editing in the Hong Kong Film Awards and once for best editing in the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards. Xu Hongyu has participated in many great works, but Like You is his first directing work.
He said: When it comes to love, I just want to talk about love.
Therefore, this is also a work with a small pattern. It doesn't want to tell you the truth, but wants to know the true meaning of life and talk with you about meaning, ideals and values.
This time, it just wants to talk to you about the stupidity of love.
Too sweet, but astringent.
In your impression, what is astringency?
According to the encyclopedia, it means that the tongue feels numb and not smooth. It also means to speak slowly, difficultly and fluently.
Just like many questions and puzzles in the early days of love, contradictions and conflicts caused by small things.
Gu Shengnan doesn't understand why people can eat dishes cooked by two people at the same time.
"I don't care, you can only eat my own cooking."
I can't say why, but if you eat someone else's cooking, I will be very concerned and unhappy.
He said it was just a dish.
This is the natural gender difference between boys and girls. Girls are sensitive and subtle. A little thing can always lead to countless associations. For boys, it is just eating vegetables. For girls, eating vegetables is a very private thing, which is related to your feelings for me.
You brought a quilt and pajamas to my house to eat my cooking and share food and happiness with me. This is unique. I don't want to share this uniqueness with others.
Have you ever tried it, because it's such a small thing that a man won't care.
But the girls were angry at first, and then they became more hysterical because of men's indifference.
It's silly to think back after making up.
Gu Chengnan tried to ask, "I'm just an ordinary person. What if I can't reach your height? "
"But you are special."
"I just hate that you are stupid, illogical, disorganized, confused when you are awake, even more confused when you are drunk, and your home is as dirty as a pigsty!"
Then, the handsome Jin Lu roared, "I have no choice but to like you or not."
Love is an unreasonable and unspeakable love.
Director Xu Hongyu said:
"We may have illusions about the person we like, but when a person appears in front of you, all the conditions are not in line with your fantasies, but you will still like him. This is true love. So we chose Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhou Dongyu, who is very different from him. "
After sweetness, it is a kind of warmth.
Jin Lu, who grew up eating alone, learned to eat for two people.
She said she liked watching the sun, so he found her the best place to watch the sunset.
It seems that many people will become different because of love.
He opened the window and saw two old people sitting on a small balcony, facing the sunset under the dark red glow.
Later, he took her to this small balcony, holding a bowl of fresh Lamian Noodles that he had just cooked, and sat together in the sunset to watch her favorite things.
He asked her: Do you want to sit still and wait for the sunset tomorrow?
I watched the performance in the evening, and there were not many people in the cinema. After the performance, everyone waited for the egg performance before leaving.
Chen Qizhen's voice sounded, and the girl in the front row took the boy's arm and said, "I'm hungry." . Go home and cook instant noodles for me
I looked at my heartbroken boyfriend and felt good.
Let people in love fall in love more, and let single people look forward to the feeling of falling in love again. There is no better romantic movie.
