When the movie started, the DreamWorks Pictures credit
rolled in and gave me the impression of '' wow this must be a good movie’’, because
hey? Everyone loves DreamWorks Pictures productions films.
As the story slowly
unfolds, my feelings went from excited to despair to even frustration. Excited
when they decided to open their new restaurant, Maison Mumbai in France; despair
when Madame Mallory rejected Hassan’s pigeon dish; and frustrated when Jean-Pierre
sabotaged the Kadams’ restaurant by burning it down, which resulted in Hassan’s
hands got severe burns. Many thoughts ran through my head. One of it was ‘’Will
they have a culture-mixed cuisine?’’ (Honestly that sounds delicious and I
immediately felt hungry. Luckily Ms. Helena let us bring snacks for the movie
that day!)
But most of all I felt inspired by Hassan throughout the
whole thing. He was very unhappy at the
beginning of the show when their van broke down. He wanted to give up but his
determined father kept them going on. He believed that they van broke down for
a reason, perhaps a miracle will happen soon. This part of the show once again
reminded me that God make things happen around us for a reason, and that we
should embrace any challenges coming in our path to success. His Papa and
Madame Mallory in this movie really had a strong will and a clear goal. For
example, Papa wanted the French to recognize how much of a potential chef his
son (Hassan) can be as he promotes him at the morning market. Meanwhile, Madame
Mallory is maintaining Le Saule Pleureur’s finest quality to achieve her second
Michelin star. She also interns Hassan for this purpose. Of course it also
benefits him to sharpen his cooking skills.
All in all, I quickly whatsapp my friends recommending them
to watch this movie after I have finished. A Hundred Foot Journey truly
inspired me a hundred times in different ways J
