From the perspective of documentary, many other comments have pointed out the shortcomings of Tip of the Tongue 2-overemphasizing humanistic care and ignoring the production process and flow of "food" itself, and food has become an accessory of narrative. Even, some narrative content uses feature films instead of documentaries-such as "The Vision of Left-behind Children" and Mike's Shaanxi Opera. , may be put by many professionals.

However, if we understand the series of films on the tip of the tongue from a broader perspective and see clearly what ideas it hopes to convey and what content it records, we may not understand it from the narrow perspective of "talking less".

The "Tip of the Tongue" series is of course about the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese food and the unique cuisine of various places, but this is only the first meaning.

I don't think this is a pure food film, at least not a documentary about food introduction with rigorous scientific exploration.

The film itself, like Chinese food, is not rigorous, but emphasizes "artistic conception" and "taste"

Instead of introducing the delicacies in China culture, we convey the profound culture of China and the various states of the world under the drastic changes in China society through the delicacies-all these things are symbolized and materialized by eating, thus being conveyed to everyone in an abstract way.

Chinese food is undoubtedly the most influential cultural content in China culture, and its influence on the western world even exceeds that of China's arts and commodities.

This is not only because Chinese food is rich in color and delicious, but more importantly, China people's thinking mode, philosophy, living habits and so on are all committed to "eating".

China people's highest standard to measure the quality of life is eating, and the main body of all celebrations is eating.

People in China have great differences in tastes and dishes. For example, the difference between Shandong school and Guangdong exquisite dishes is not only the difference in climate and ingredients, but also the difference in culture and way of thinking. If you know how to eat, you will know the culture of China. To understand China culture, I'm afraid quite a few people need to start with "eating".

From this perspective, the intention of Tip of the Tongue 2 may not simply and objectively describe the technology and taste of food itself, but take food as a clue to record the beauty of human nature, people's rush to life and the conflict between tradition and modernity in contemporary China society.
