Gordon Mallonee -- Babette's Feast

Babett’s Feast was an interesting movie to watch. However at first I did not think that the film would be very good. I thought it was going to be about some old ladies doing charity work for people in a remote town on the coast. When more characters were introduced the movie became more interesting. The Opera singer, I thought, was a funny character. He started off as a big shot that wanted a vacation and became depressed. He thought his career was over and became depressed. This was turned all around at his first glance of one of the sisters. The way he acted around the sister he was giving singing lessens to was really funny. He was all happy and singing joyfully when he thought that he would be able to make her fall in love and then the things he said to himself when he found out that the singing lessens were to end also made me laugh. Babett’s character in the movie was very well portrayed. She was so nice to very one but would let people know what was what when it came to money. The quality of her personality is not something that you tend to find in people today. Babett’s true character is seen thou in the scenes where she is preparing the feast for the people of the town. The amount of effort that she put into preparing it so it would be perfect showed how much she really appreciated the sister’s hospitality. It also gave her another chance to perform her art the way she once had been able to when she was the head chief at the restaurant.
