The Boy and the Heron 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The new film by animation master Hayao Miyazaki, "How Do You Live?" (titled "The Boy and the Heron" in North America): It employed a bold publicity strategy with no trailers, no advance screenings, and not even a plot synopsis. Such daring PR tactics are typically only seen from Studio Ghibli. If this is indeed Miyazaki's farewell work, what does he want to convey?
Studio Ghibli aimed to have the audience enter the movie theater without any preconceptions, to watch Miyazaki's…

Instead, they decided to adopt the "back-to-back" shooting mode, similar to the "Back to the Future," "Matrix,"…

The Menu 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"The Menu": Are we eating gourmet food or those stars?
This film is extremely sensational and anti-intellectual.
In the 1990s, El Bulli sparked the trend of "molecular gastronomy," and the most important aspect was not just advancing culinary techniques with technology (such as sous-vide cooking and the use of Pacojet), but rather making culinary culture more intellectual. Chefs and diners were no longer like before, knowing the result of a dish without understanding the underlying reasons. Instead, they gained a…
