Hunger (2023)

·1 min
Movie-Review

I saw this movie on Netflix. It started off strong but turns into a disappointment at the end.

The movie is about a street food cook who is invited to join a team of top chefs.

SPOILERS WARNING:

The girl wanted to be the best, and she even ended up opening her own restaurant. But in the end, she just wanted to go back to being a street food cook.

I felt disappointed because the message seemed to be that the pressure of being the best is not for everyone. Her family, instead of supporting her, guilted her and wanted her to quit. There was even a weird cooking competition at a party. And the message of the movie seemed to be: don’t be your best.

Other than the beautiful cooking scenes, there was not much else going on in this movie.

This weekend, I saw Sonic 3 with my son. I have never gotten into Sonic movies, so this was the first Sonic movie I saw. It was a really enjoyable movie, and Ayden really loved it as well. From a parent’s perspective, I liked that it used some common phrases such as “make good choices,” which should help reinforce these messages.

The Courage to Be Disliked

Just finished listening to The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi. The book is in the form of a dialogue between a philosopher and a youth. It discusses Adlerian philosophy. The book seems to be written from a Japanese perspective. It talks about “shut-ins”, NEET, and other terms for young people who prefer to isolate themselves. I had never heard of these terms; after some research, I learned that it is a huge problem in Asian countries.
