The completeness of impressions and total immersion - this is what almost all modern cinemas are now striving for. However, in order to better immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the film, it is not necessary to wear VR glasses, sometimes it is enough to choose the right snack.
Sultry melodramas
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Dreamers, Call Me by Your Name
White wine and oysters are probably the first things that come to mind at the mention of lovers' food. However, cinema-romantics confidently destroy this stereotype, showing us that hot and tart food is behind the hottest on-screen novels. While watching Vicky Cristina of Barcelona, be sure to pay attention to how Spaniard Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) seduces the protagonists with intellectual conversations and local snacks - cheeses, grapes and spicy chili while traveling in Oviedo and Barcelona.
After such a movie, you should immediately turn on "The Dreamers" by Bernardo Bertolucci and cut into pieces of delicious cheese. There, a trio of students create their own oasis of carefree life and love without any restrictions for wine and olives in the midst of the Paris demonstrations in 1968. But where you can breathe to your full chest, then this is in sunny Crema - an Italian town in the north, where the action "Call me by your name" takes place. Here Oliver and Elio enjoy a spa romance, peaches, cheeses and fresh pastries. This is how the first love fits.
Bright feature films
The Grand Budapest Hotel, Marie Antoinette, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
“Let them eat the cakes,” says Kirsten Dunst playfully as Marie Antoinette. Including such a bright and “sweet” movie like Sofia Coppola's, choose only desserts. The director added dozens of copper trays with sweets from the luxury French brand Ladurée in the frame with the pastel shades of Versailles and the magnificent dresses of the ladies of the court.
And if sweets are worth eating during Marie Antoinette, then after the Grand Budapest Hotel you will certainly want to cook something sweet. Take the Courtesan au Chocolat three-tiered cake, for example. In the film, the author of the delicacy, the chef of that very hotel, Herr Melt, took the dessert recipe with him to his grave. Fortunately, the real authors - the German confectionery Cafe CaRe - have long since discovered the secret of cooking.
Militants
Die Hard, The Bourne Identity, The Avengers
In 2015, the journal of the American Medical Association, Internal Medicine, published the result of an interesting study - people tend to eat more snacks while watching action films and action films. A truly energetic movie can really weaken the viewer immersed in the plot. So, while Bruce Willis is running barefoot on broken glass, keep up with the hero and treat yourself to nutritious nuts, as a curtsey towards distributors-localizers, which in the distant 90s translated for us the name Die Hard as "Die Hard".
And if John McLain's turbulent New York trip wasn't enough for you, cook up nutritious sausages and hot dogs, turn on The Bourne Identity, and nervously watch as a former CIA agent goes against the system for a better life, slaying enemies. Even superheroes need energy, which is why French fries and The Avengers are a great combo. Especially if you wait for the post-credits scene, where the team silently dines on burgers and fries after a hard fight with aliens. If superheroes can eat junk food, so can we.
