    Series series MARK
    24部經典電影的人性料理饗宴!以料理為引線,認識電影的敘事方法,剖析電影中的社會、階級、心理與生命課題。從小到大我們總是被期待著成為好人,優秀的人,成功的人;當然也包括成為聽話的人,聽爸媽的話、聽老師的話、聽老闆的話、聽那些握有權力者的話,但很多時候我們並非真心服從,我們不願意臣服,也不甘願接受命運的安排,更不願意成為失敗者。於是心裡有太多壓抑的情緒需要出口,有太多的慾望渴求解放,有太多的禁忌想要打破,有太多的秘密想要曬太陽。所以人們愛吃、愛看電影,期待快速療癒受傷的心靈,找到情感的共鳴,在一餐內快速提升血清素,在兩三個小時內,滿足現實中不能實踐的渴望,甚至為自己的孤單與挫折找到一些安慰。而電影需要故事,故事需要衝突,人性裡隱藏的矛盾與衝突,在現實中解決不了,正好電影可以幫你完成;食物裡夾帶著太多的慾望與記憶,曖昧不明卻又喬裝得若無其事,正好跟電影的特色合拍。於是乎美食、人性和慾望 ...
