Wow that's deep.

In reply to this comment by djsunkid:
It was during this vignette that I finally "got" Tampopo.

Each of the vignettes says something different about food. Food is pain. Food is sex. Food is life. Food is culture. Food is death.

Such a beautiful and touching and important movie.

This scene tears me up. There is something noble and basically good about cooking for your family. They honor her by eating her last meal.

I hope that my last meal is as appreciated.

I also love Tampopo- and I think I heard of it first from videosift. Great movie.

Whoops, I had 'animated' there instead.. darn these fingers, not too accurate!

Tampopo is one of my favorite Japanese films too. Legacy, you need to see the whole movie to appreciate the scene. Its supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek.

As a side note, the best places I know for Ramen are in San Francisco's Nihon-Machi (Japantown). Iroha is pretty good, but the best joint I know is just up the street. I think its called Tan Popo. Really wide selection of Ramen bowls, great prices, and cold Japanese beer on tap. It doesn't get much better than that. *sigh*

Tampopo was an awesome movie, but what the heck is a rice omelet??

omelete + rice = omuraisu.
