Introduction
I have selected the movie of The Hundred Foot Journey (2014) by Lasse Hallström as my review report on the film because this movie features a lot of basic principles of food commodities, food preparation and encompasses with the latest information on technology to develop better understanding of food theory that applied to generate revenue for hospitality industry. The Hundred Foot Journey was talking about an Indian guy who named Hassan Kadam was a special talented and having acquired knowledge and skill in culinary novice.

This proved that young chef Hassan had such a desire to learn all he could to try new things. He did not give up question his ability.

She was love of cooking but she became jealous of Hassan because he had been choose by Mallory to be the in charge person in kitchen and cook for it. A wedge was created between Hassan and Marguerite because she did not even believe enough in herself. I
Through this movie, I can learn many small lessons which included we should have a loving and open heart like Madame Mallory although she was fought to the Papa due to the restaurant. Besides that, never ever give up and try again like Hassan Kadam never give up to cook a delicious food even his hand was injured. Then, we also need to believe ourselves and striving to be true like Marguerite should believe that she can make the delicious food by her skilled. Lastly, I had learned the passion and love on the food as well as the family. Hassan not only love to cook, he also miss and love his family member and Marguerite. I admired the deep love in this movie they had for something, even if it was
When Marie tries to ask the protagonist to take a walk, this action shows that she is trying to achieve Pauline’s dream by getting her outside of the house. Therefore, she could finally feel the true meaning of freedom. Nevertheless, Pauline’s mother’s response demonstrates that she wants her daughter’s safety more than anything. The mother tries to keep Pauline away from the danger, so the protagonist can at last have a healthier life. However, Agathe’s reply shows that her mother is willing to sacrifice Pauline’s dream to keep her secure. Therefore, the author uses contrasting characters to mention that safety is more valuable.

Originally the narrator admired her father greatly, mirroring his every move: “I walked proudly, stretching my legs to match his steps. I was overjoyed when my feet kept time with his, right, then left, then right, and we walked like a single unit”(329). The narrator’s love for her father and admiration for him was described mainly through their experiences together in the kitchen. Food was a way that the father was able to maintain Malaysian culture that he loved so dearly, while also passing some of those traits on to his daughter. It is a major theme of the story. The afternoon cooking show, “Wok with Yan” (329) provided a showed the close relationship father and daughter had because of food. Her father doing tricks with orange peels was yet another example of the power that food had in keeping them so close, in a foreign country. Rice was the feature food that was given the most attention by the narrator. The narrator’s father washed and rinsed the rice thoroughly, dealing with any imperfection to create a pure authentic dish. He used time in the kitchen as a way to teach his daughter about the culture. Although the narrator paid close attention to her father’s tendencies, she was never able to prepare the rice with the patience and care that her father
A Genetic Odyssey’ is an interesting movie to watch. There were many thoughts that passed my mind as I watched the movie. First of all, it was interesting to visualize the movie back in the day, assuming how one single man lived in Africa approximately sixty thousand years ago. It is quite amazing to have traced the records so far behind to find that Adam could be the father of homo sapiens after all. The better question arises when there are different sizes, races and shapes to each human being.
... about how fast food, meat particularly, is processed. Not only does it open your eyes to how fast food is processed but also it shows how all food in the grocery store is not really “food”. The movie suggests that humans are “starving” themselves from the needed nutrients that we need to survive. Common snacks for kids like cereal, cheez-its, fruit snacks, potato chips, granola bars, and other easily prepared foods do not contain the nutrients that our bodies need to grow and stay healthy. What children really need to be eating are fruits and vegetables and there are endless ways that these can be prepared to taste delicious!
The moment I stepped into El Milagro’s first door I saw a beautiful mural of a man, on the wall. The murals purpose was to display a man, who is wearing a white shirt and black jacket, riding a horse. There was also a woman in the mural, glancing at the man, with her finger in her mouth, as if she was admiring him (image shown on the page above on the right). Once inside of the restaurant I saw the bright colors, of the walls, such as the pink and yellow color pattern laid out around the dining facility - the ceiling and wall decorations gave the place a spacious atmosphere, along with the tables were set up in a way stretching from one end to the other end of the restaurant, in a way in which it contributed to the spacious atmosphere given the decorations on both the walls and the ceiling (as can be seen on the bottom left). After being greeted by one of the many staff members who helped me as I prepared to dine on a Mexican cuisines. The food was hot and freshly prepared, all that was left was to be placed onto a plate. Once served on the plate I ate in the back where many people were conversing as well as enjoying their food. Throughout the restaurant all you can smell was the fresh meat being prepared while people were asking each other to pass the sauces. After grabbing my first bite of the rice, I felt at ease, due to the rice being very
I thought Amelie was strangely entertaining film. For the first half hour or so of the movie I wasn’t quite sure what was going on. There seemed to be no distinct plot and seemed to be all introductions into the twisted life Amelie was brought up in. Even through my confusion at this point, I found Amelie’s childhood to be entertaining, for example her imaginary friend or the description of her parent’s life styles. The movie started to pick up after Amelie discovered the box and decided she wanted to bring happiness to people around her and make the bad people pay for their actions. The scheme she devised to get back at the mean merchant was quite clever. I also enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game she played with Nino in order to return the photo album and to eventually meet him. I also found the usage of breaking the fourth wall in order for Amelie to answer the narrator’s questions to be unique.
This metaphor showcases how the wife tries to conceal her unloving marriage from the world in hope that it will be resolved, yet she still suffers from the way the man treats her. The small candle on the cake is another metaphor used to portray the loneliness of the wife. This feeling is a common emotion felt by many victims of a detached relationship. The description “...one pink candle burning in the center”, gives the candle a feminine trait which reflects the wife. The cake, which the candle was used for was not well received by the husband and the celebration comes to a halt. Then, the cake is ignored and the candle burns in loneliness. Similar to the cake and the candle, the wife and her efforts have never been appreciated or respected by her husband. Much like the cake, the wife is ignored, and she lives her life in desolation and solitude. Lastly, the setting symbolises the wife’s lack of importance to her husband. The setting is described as “a little narrow restaurant” and with a few
