《The Kitchen》Will be at 2024-1-19 broadcast，《The Kitchen》“ broadcast platform ：Netflix”.
《The Kitchen》The Kitchen is a new science fiction drama released on Netflix. Although when I first saw the “science fiction” genre, I expected the plot to explore the various contradictions and dependencies between technology and human beings, however,《The Kitchen》 is not what we imagined. This movie actually focuses on “drama” rather than “science fiction”, so if you originally thought like me, this movie is our common science fiction movie!Overall, - The Kitchen - is a pretty mediocre movie. Even if the director wants to focus on “drama” portrayal, it is very weak.
《The Kitchen》The synopsis is that in the dystopian future city of “London”, living in the "Kitchen", Isaac strives to climb up the social ladder, so he does not consider the “Kitchen” to be “home”,Instead, he is working hard at “Life After Life etiquette company” to make money and plans to move to a high-end apartment.In the movie - The Kitchen, the audience will see that Isaac has no emotional connection with the residents of “Kitchen”. Isaac has always been alone until one day the child Benjy appears in Isaac's house.In his life, Isaac's decision began to waver.
The title of this film, The Kitchen, means [Kitchen], and it is also one of the few remaining residential complexes where the male protagonist lives. The film actually does not explain this science fiction worldview in a way that is easy to understand., generally speaking, if it is about a dystopian society, it will carefully depict how people are disappointed and resist the authorities. However, this movie explains very little about the dystopian background, and it is not particularly profound.
Piecing together the plot in bits and pieces, it can be seen that all “social housing” in London have been cancelled(which also symbolizes the cancellation of social welfare), and those people called “kitchen” refuse to leave their homes because they cannotWith nowhere to go, they were raided and kicked out of their homes for not complying with government regulations.In fact, [the kitchen] is like what some people in the UK fear most right now: a melting pot of cultures, lifestyles and races, and an important problem that society cannot solve.Because - The Kitchen - the plot of the movie already shows that this dystopian society is a prophecy of what may happen in the future, that is, capitalism gradually weakens individualism, and if this movie is a prophecy, it also represents the future.Our society may be “Every city has its own [kitchen]” of barriers.
《The Kitchen》 actually does not specifically tell when this is in the future. However, it is a pity that the director has no significant difference in the construction of this world in the visual picture. The “ kitchen in 《The Kitchen》Communities” and “senior apartments” actually just show the gap between rich and poor. The only places with technology on the screen are the “Life After Life” potted plant etiquette company and the touch controls on the mirror~ As far as I can see, if thisIf the movie changes direction and emphasizes the issue of wealth gap in the future world, then the movie should be more successful, because the director at least shows the severity of working class life and the difficulty of improving the quality of life well, so that the plot can also focus on satireThe dystopia of capitalist issues between rich and poor will also make the plot more complete.
《The Kitchen》 is director Daniel Kaluuya's regular film work, but unfortunately the results shown in the film are too mediocre and unattractive. The story of this film completely revolves around a sad Benjy.The two people that the audience should pay attention to are Isaac and Benji.Let me first talk about the character Benji. He is trying to find his place in this society after his mother passed away. Originally, Benji found out that there was a resistance organization in “Kitchen Community”, so he joined. At least he felt that he was a community.Part of it is because people in the organization take good care of him, but he has not always been ignored by Isaac.The loneliness that Benjy feels is connected to the character of Isaac. Benjy is exploring two sides of himself: his desire to be accepted immediately and his desire to be loved.
