You'll be caught off guard and want to eat it! Delicious food in movies

PAGES


`` Dinner Rush '' (2000) is set in a four-star Italian restaurant in New York and features a series of colorful dishes. ``The Haute Cuisine '' (12) stimulates your hunger center with French cuisine prepared by a female official chef. `` Chef Started a Three-Star Food Truck '' (14), whose exquisite Cuban sandwich catches your eye.


There are many cooking movies in the world. However, what makes me think, ``I really want to eat it!'' is when a depiction of food jumps out at me in an ordinary movie that doesn't have the armor of a ``cooking'' character. Since I was defenseless, my stomach was completely taken away. So, this time, I would like to present six selections of ``movies that will catch you off guard and make you want to eat them!'' based on my own opinion and bias.

"ET" (82)



Delivery pizza filled with longing for America


Director: Steven Spielberg Starring: Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Drew Barrymore


Steven Spielberg's timeless masterpiece, ET . What is the most heart-warming scene in this movie? The scene where the boy Elliot (Henry Thomas) and the alien put their fingers together? The scene where the silhouette of a bicycle appears against the full moon? no. That's the scene where Elliot receives a delivered pizza! !


As an elementary school student at the time of the movie's theatrical release, I was struck by the strange feeling of thinking, ``Is it possible to have pizza delivered to your home in America?'' The pizza delivery system was created in the United States in 1960. Dominic's (later Domino's Pizza), a pizza shop in Ypsilanti, Michigan, comes up with the idea of ​​delivering pizza to University of Michigan students who don't have cars. The business has been very successful with a policy of ``50 cents off if the time exceeds 30 minutes.'' Pizza delivery quickly became popular throughout the United States.


Hidenori Asano, the founder of Pizza La, was just as shocked as I was when he saw ET. Mr. Asano, who used to run a video rental store in Tokyo, sensed a new business Being There in pizza delivery, which was not yet popular in Japan, and devoted himself to researching pizza. Five years after the movie was released, the first pizzeria opened, and home delivery pizza took root in Japan.


Surprisingly, there is no pizza-eating scene in ET. Elliot stumbles upon an alien hiding in a barn and is so shocked that he crushes a pizza. When the kid ruins his pizza, he curses at Elliot, saying, ``You idiot!'' But the scene where the mother slaps him on the head, saying, ``What are you doing to my child?'' is hilarious.


Isn't it amazing that you want to eat pizza even though you have no occasion to eat it? I admire the culture of staying up late with friends and eating home-delivered pizza. That's why I always make it a point to watch ``ET'' with a pizza delivered to my home.
