In my opinion the film big night wasn’t necessarily one of the best films that we have watched all semester. If anything it will be more towards the middle of the pack where it wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst either. With that being said the final scene of the film is a very important scene. To start this off I just wanna say I really like the camera angle in that final scene it was an interesting choice of camera angle and I’ve never seen an angle like that where I was able to cover the entire kitchen for one and it just it just gave a better perspective on what was actually happening in that final scene. You can see the chef and what he was doing and how he was making egg and Which was very interesting because he was basically teaching the audience on how to make a omelette. Just the oil in a pan heat the pan up beat the egg and then put the egg in the pan and then let it cook on a low heat and that’s basically how he made his omelette and it was a very simple process and I think that was very important because now people would learn how to make omelettes by just watching that first half of the last scene. It’s interesting because when he first walked into the kitchen his waiter is laying on the table and that just shows like how how much of what happened the previous night and how crazy the previous night was so he makes the breakfast for his waiter and his brother comes in and he made enough breakfast for his other friend as well.My favorite part about the scene is how silent to seeing is and I think that’s why the scene is so important because it just is basically the aftermath of what happened in the previous night and it’s just so quiet and so silent nobody’s talking they’re just enjoying a meal together because now they have calm down and now the stress is like releasing from their body.

Food=Culture
I was very excited to be able to watch both of these movies. I am always glad to watch a movie that has a strong black cast. It’s a bonus to be able to watch the movie as an assignment for one of my classes. Both films were really good films, but of the two I would rather watch soul food. There’s no underlying reason for this I just personally prefer so food over once upon a time we were colored. Both phones do a very great job at showing culture through food. Both films utilize very cultural food choices which allows the food to express culture itself. One way so food does this is when the mother talks about how it’s a good thing for your lover to Cook your favorite dessert for you which was sweet potato pie. And once upon a time we were color the culture was shown through the actual making of the food. Through those rough times people were brought together through food and I just thought that was a beautiful thing because that’s really how it is in the real world. They use many different cultural foods such as sweet potato pie chicken mac & cheese and even the way that they go about making the food and how they eat the food is very cultural as well. It is also interesting to see how the family members interact because the way they fight and the way they make up and gets into gather and how they love each other is a show of how their culture is express throughout the film. Overall I thought both films were done very well and I can appreciate them for what they are and what happens in each film. I get a sense and feel of like what is happening is realistic and genuine and I love that about both of these films.

Eat Drink Man Woman & Tortilla?
Watching both films Eat Drink Man Women and Tortilla Soup i enjoyed both of these films greatly. For each film i loved certain aspects more than the other film. In eat drink man woman i really appreciated the food and the preparation of the food more in that film than in tortilla soup.just from the beginning of the class this semester i fell in love with eat drink man woman for that specific reason. For comparison of both films eat drink does a better job at portraying the food and they use more exquisite food. In tortilla soup they use food thats not as special but i feel like the food that is used in this film is more heart warming and just makes the audience feel like they are at home. Another thing about tortilla soup is that it is more sexual than eat drink man woman. This film has way more sex scenes and is a lot more revealing than the original. With that being said the remake has an interesting way of handling situations within the movie. For instance when the middle daughter finds out that the guy that she is messing with is getting married it seems that she is more content with it rather then being furious, whereas in the original she is absolutely furious when she finds out this information. In my opinion it seems to me that tortilla soup is a little more family oriented than that of eat drink man woman. Many of the probles that happen in the remake dont really seem as
dramatic as those of eat drink man woman. Nevertheless i can appreciate both movies for what they are i could understand why many more people would most likely prefer to watch tortilla soup i personally would rather watch eat drink man woman for the simple fact of the preparation of food and the food that they actually use.
