Eat, Drink, Man, Woman

“Eat, Drink, Man, Woman” is a story of a father, who is a chef and a widower’s life with his three daughters. For me as a viewer, I think the parenting style here is secure relationship, although the movie did not show the scene of them as a child, but it seems like their basic needs and other needs were given by their father. Plus, they have weekly family dinner on Sunday night. This might explained that the father really cares about the meeting and interaction with his busy daughters. Another interesting character of this movie is the second daughter. In the beginning of the movie, it seems like the second daughter had a bad relationship with her father because they always argue with each other. Also, in the movie, it had mentioned that the second daughter had spent a lot of good times with her father in the kitchen and has talent in cooking too when she was young, but I think something bad happened back then cause her cannot remember or do not want to recall back the memories then. However, no matter how she argue with her father, when she coincidence met her father in the hospital and thought that her father might diagnose with cancer, her attitude change. I think she somehow influenced by the word that was told by uncle Wen, who is the father’s friend, when he diagnosed in the hospital. She scared that it will be too late for her or her father to both express their true feelings with each other, that is why I think she change her attitude to her father. Conclusion, after watching this movie, it actually reflects me of how I treat my family too, because I always argue with my parents. But I think is time for me to change my attitude before it is too late.
