Eat Drink Man Woman
Apr. 4th, 2009 12:05 amI feel like I haven't posted in forever (even though I posted last night...)
I've been wicked tired recently, which means basically no drama watching, and thus nothing meaningful to say.
But last night I DID watch a movie; Eat Drink Man Woman.
It was good, but nothing to intensely rave about.
The film opened with a cooking montage, which fit the movie, but since it involved animals being killed and cooked, I really didn't like it. It was interesting to get a look at traditional Chinese cooking though.
Anyway... Considering how used I am to twdramas and their awful production values, this movie was a HUGE surprise. It's REALLY well made, especially considering it was made in 1994. It's 15 years old, and it's better than dramas being made currently.
I'm not going to really go into the plot, but I'll mention a few things (with caps of course!)
( Eat Drink Man Woman )
So it wasn't my favorite movie ever (probably because I found NONE of the male characters attractive... SHALLOW), but I quite enjoyed it, and I'm glad I bought it. It's the type of story I like; slice of life. I love seeing how normal Taiwanese live, so this was a good choice for me.
I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. It's definitely one of the finest Taiwanese movies ever made.
