Make-up for the Movie Night Requirement
Flavors of Youth: ‎詩季織々

I watched the Flavors of Youth, which is a Japanese-Chinese anime anthology movie, following the stories of 3 separate characters. The movie is a 1 hr 15-minute long production that was released on August 4th, 2018. I listened to the movie in Japanese audio with Japanese subtitles. This was difficult because I did not understand everything the characters were saying. I could recognize some of the more simpler phrases, however. As an example: たくさんを食べmeant eat a lot! The three stories followed a man who loved his grandmother's noodles and tried many different noodles around town, the second was about a fashion designer, and the third was about a young couple who were forced apart due to family expectations and life circumstances. My favorite of the stories was the first, The Rice Noodles. I think I enjoyed this part the most because I really loved the animation style of the food, and the visuals were very easy to follow along when I didn't understand the Japanese. It ended very bittersweetly, with the Grandmother dying, but Xiao Ming still felt nostalgic about the noodles and will continue to treasure them in his grandmother's absence. I thought watching the movie was a very fun experience, and I especially enjoyed the format of this one.
