Toast with Mascarpone Cheese and Pistachio

20221012, #breakfastdiary 567, 6°C/clear Q. The dialogue in Decision to Leave became a meme in its own right. How do you write lines that are so old-fashioned and literary, so dramatic as if lifted from a play? A. Whenever I run a casting scenario, I always hear that the dialogue is hard because it's too literary - I think that's because both director Park Chan-wook and I grew up reading books in a world without YouTube. Tang Wei's pronunciation also played a part in this film. She says, straight from the chest, enunciating clearly, "Am I really that bad?" (Jeong Seo-kyung, from a Cosmopolitan interview) (If you've seen #DecisionToLeave, you'll know) Tang Wei's lines, delivered straight from the chest, enunciated clearly, pressed down firmly with force, were as hard as the shell around a pistachio. Brush bread with olive oil and toast both sides. (Far more efficient than olive oil straight in the pan.) Pile on mascarpone cheese generously, then top with the prettiest chopped pistachios in the world. #mascarponecheesepistachiotoast
