like french restaurants, this takes itself way too seriously
while two sisters grow old, their "servant" makes a big dinner. um, i know im not descibing it very well, but if youre interested enough to see this movie, youve probably already seen it.


Don't know why I waited so long!
I skipped a screening of this in college because I had something better to do, but it's always been on my to-watch list. I finally saw it and can't believe I waited so long! A wonderful film for foodies, religious folk and film-lovers alike.

I like Babette the most
Babette Feast
This movie is about two sisters, Martina and Philippa who are the daughters of a local pastor in a small Danish community. Their father, Vicor taught them religious values, enabling them to learn the importance of faith and God. As young ladies, these two girls are really attractive. They both are courted by two successful men. But they choose to stay devote to their father and religion.
Later, Babette who fled from Paris comes to be the servants for the two sisters. She remains faithful and serves the two sisters for a very long period of time. After 14 years of service, Babette wins lottery and she insists to prepare a French feast for the sisters, celebrating the anniversary of the dead man, Vicar's birth. Babette's meal brings color to the town and emphasizes the real beauty of the life in the world God created.
I really like the character Babette. As a servant, she is very humble and lovely. She tries her best to serve the sisters and do things always benefit the sisters. I think she sacrificed a lot to the family and influenced the sisters as well as the community. When she wins the lottery, she chooses to stay and spends all the money for a French feast. This shows her generosity and caring for others. She is not selfish; indeed, she wants to help the sisters. For normal people that win lottery, they will all choose to use that money for a better life instead of being a servant serving others. But Babette choose to remain poor and uses all the money for others. My favorite scene in the move is the Babette feast. Some parts of the scene are very funny. I enjoys the way how Babette tries to bring out her message of love through the meal. Babette is a central character of the film and she also brings out the theme of the story through the preparation of the feast and the actual feast. Babette allowed the sisters to think and learn another kind of joy and happiness.
The feast only happened at the end of the film and I like that scene the most! The movie also clearly shaped different characters. Although in the beginning the movie may seem to be a little boring, it still is able to bring out meaningful insights through the interactions between characters!
