Passion, power, abuse, control, ambition, and success, aren’t these interlinked with one another? That heat from the kitchen, those meat sweats, that sizzle on the pan, and the ultimatum, the flavor of your food, is what defines you the most! In the kitchen, there is no room for democracy, it’s a show of dictatorship! The tougher the situation gets, the more brutal you become. A movie that forced us to think about the true meaning of life and food! The hunger you have within you, that fire that keeps you going, that struggle of hard work, the social status you own, is it all even worth it?
The more you eat, the hungrier you get, as quoted by Chef Paul is a life lesson that we all need to think about! Have you ever noticed how the privileged class always wants more luxury and success? On the other hand, we have the poors, the marginalized section of the country, the ones who will never get a chance to flourish in the rich society. The differentiation is beyond one’s thinking and imagination! The movie truly gives us a different living perspective.
Hunger Movie Review: What You Eat Represents Your Social Status?
From earning through a Pad See Ew joint to ending up being one of the Sous Chefs of the fine dining restaurant of the town, Aoy finally had a dream to chase for. She knew what she wanted! But little is she aware of Chef Paul’s true personality and thus the movie introduces us to the head Chef of Hunger. This is his kitchen and this is his area of rule. The one to whom the upper class bows down, the one who knows how filthy these puppets can be.
He understands what the rich society looks for and thus he will do everything possible to be the best Chef in the town. He is mostly seen as a rude man with extraordinary cooking skills but there is hardly anyone who knows about his past life. He is just like those men who have chased success to a large extent and in the meanwhile, he has lost all of his worth and subconscious!
On the other hand, we have Aoy, the one who aspires to be special someday! She is highly hardworking and talented! The one who knows how to handle heat and fire, the one who doesn’t give up at all. She is indeed a commendable Chef but is she that good enough to run a restaurant like Hunger? Can she prove herself to Chef Paul? A lot of things happen within those four closed walls of the kitchen. To be the best, you will even have to burn yourself down! This is her journey of food excellency. This movie is not just about a girl who became a renowned Chef, but this movie also emphasizes the fact that the poors are always crushed down by the rich society! Speaking about the ratings, out of 10, Hunger surely deserves an 8 from us.
