He let her go because she wasn't one of the rich assholes and she gave him a final moment of genuine joy cooking for her
Indeed, but also he couldn't JUST let her go even if he wanted to. It had to fit the menu. The theme of the meal was, as Erin put it "hard home truths". She showed him a truth about himself and subverted his menu and made her own. The theme of her small supplemental course was love and substance. So it fits the theme artistically for her to live. I think he also wanted her to remember his final meal because he was an egomaniac. So her wiping her mouth with his menu is a great little final FU
45:40 Brown University is one of the top Ivy League schools in America and very expensive, so having no loans probably means she was coming from a rich family.
Love you reactions
Wow! Thanks for the info. This was a crazy ride! Loved it 🔥
@@JynxRyl AND problably paid with the money from the 'calling mr sunshine' - actor
@@aaliyah6467No, not likely. Her rich parents paid for her college tuition. Then used their connections to get her the job after graduation.
She saw the picture of him when he was younger as a chef with the hamburger and he looked happy, that’s when he was happy to make food, common person food like a cheeseburger, so she used that as psychology to get out, asked him to make her a cheeseburger and he made it and he was finally happy again, that’s why he let her go.
They did nothing to escape because they're not the common-man, as chef describes earlier. They aren't accustomed to doing for themselves, they have people they pay for that.
At one point the actor tried to get the investor bros to fight back and even then it was something he saw in a film, not an idea born of self reliance. When one attempts to break the window, even then the actor just instructs him "go for it!" "go for it!" rather than attempt to help.
It's the classic "when you depend on others for your most basic needs ... you'll be in real trouble if/when they refuse to take your bs anymore and turn on you." Margo/Erin was - as chef described "a s*** shoveler" - one of those people hired by wealthy people to do unpleasant tasks ... like pretend to be some rich guys daughter while he masterbates, or accompany some selfish obsessed food snob to a dinner where everyone is going to die. That's why chef gave her the opportunity to separate herself from them.
She was allowed to leave because she gave chef the greatest gift one could. She allowed him to feel that long lost love of cooking something simple, for a common person who would enjoy and appreciate it.
I love when films give you little bits of info and leave you to think about it for yourself. The older married couple is a great example of this.
The wife says Margot looks like their daughter Claire (and it sounds as if she either never sees them or she's died). Margot later tells us that the husband hired her to (among other things) pretend she was his daughter. Did he SA Claire and that's why she's not around/dead? Is this why when Margot looks back at the end the wife encourages her to go, like motherly protection?
So much to think on with just a few well-placed lines
I think the wife wouldn't be there taking care of him if he did that to their daughter. My impression is that they were a grieving couple, with a history of course, but trying, she was coping with alcohol and he... Well.
@@DystopiaWithoutNeons Many wives do. They aren't sure or don't want to be sure. But I think it's meant to be open to different interpretations.
I've watched several reactions to this and this is rarely mentioned.
@@DystopiaWithoutNeons it’s possible she just doesn’t know, moms tend to not suspect those within the family (definitely not their husbands) and children feel such deep shame and fear that most never tell
@@DystopiaWithoutNeons I think she didn't know. But the fact that she knew by 'Men's Folly' that her husband had been cheating on her and that he was vehemently denying that Margot looked anything like their daughter and that he had cheated on her with Margot was enough for her to figure out what was going on.
Maybe nothing happened with Liebrandt and Claire, but maybe it was a case of he tried to make it happen and that that's why she killed herself or ran away.
I actually took an food-art class and this movie hits different.
A lot of the time people eating at these places are super picky/judgmental over other peoples work. The chef/sous chefs being militant is a result of expectation by the customers of the staff.
If they acted unorganized all the cooks would hear is ‘ugh they’re so sloppy, can’t believe I can see them sweating while cooking, can you believe they overcooked this send it back and do it again.’ They expects servers to stand at the edges of the room and immediately refill the wine/water/give them plates/take them away all at the exact correct moment if there a second late or early it’s the staff that’s considered rude. How DARE the staff to disturb you while you’re eating, you’re the one paying them and they can’t even do their job right. Even if the staff is just trying to be helpful and is working at the highest level and doesn’t make mistakes there will always be a customer complaint.
Eventually after years of that some people do snap, they’ll try to send smt back and the chef will blow up in a fury because someone that has never cooked for another person and has never eaten these meals before can’t shut up and actually enjoy anything.
Some people do get cruel and I’ve seen people do everything from food so sharp you can cut your tongue to pickled organs. As kind of a ‘fine nothings good enough then I’ll make what I want and make it so you can’t even try it. But with the knowledge that it’s been perfectly created.’
You get people who haven’t tried to learn about cooking and haven’t learned about cooking-abstraction/cooking sculptures and they see minimalism/fusion and despise it for being different then the traditional cuisine they’re use to. Or people don’t think it’s exciting enough.
The customer is always right and never satisfied. So you get a group of rich people who are constantly bored with mundane things or have really high ridiculous standards of quality/monetary cost.
They understand a thick steak is nice but it’s so common that they crave wagyu or a tartar instead for every single meal. You can buy the best quality why not eat the best quality everyday? And a lot of the times that high quality means smaller/refined goods. Sea urchins and truffle oils and saffron all have different reasons for being expensive/difficult to harvest and all of them have unique flavors. You can’t add those ingredients to every random dish it cheapens the ingredients. That’s why a lot of places do that scallop on a rock sorta thing where the flavor is in a single bite. You are forced to savor it.
It’s also why the tasting plates are small you’re not there to be fed for a meal you’re there because you’re not satisfied with food and want to play around.
You’re eating like a king compared to anyone in history and it’s unsatisfying all the same. Imagine how that makes the chefs who work full time and have dedicated school money/hours into that specific practice.
It’s like walking up to the most skilled marble carver and being like ‘mmm still doesn’t look sculpted enough I mean this is just a rock and looks like a rock even if you’ve tapped it with a hammer for 2 years. It doesn’t look like a traditional baroque Greco-Roman pose to me, a person who’s never carved/been in a museum more then 3 times. Even tho I could totally buy this with my pocket change I mean do you happen to know who i am and how much I make? You really think it’s even worth my cash?’
Half the people in that room can’t cook for themselves that’s the sad reality
Unless you’ve worked in the food service industry you really don’t understand the chef and the other cooks have had enough of these type of people.
Actually, as the Chef said, if you had ANY sort of service industry. This is really relatable.
I haven't started watching yet, but I wanted to drop a comment first. I'm looking forward to watching your reactions to The Menu. I enjoyed this film a lot! (P.S. The new place looks great ✨️😃)
Heyy thank you 😊🙏🏾 Full reaction is on Patreon too 🔥
Bit late to the comment party here, but in case you didn't learn after this, the assistant (I think she's the one that says it) was not comparing the now-dead Jeremy to a squid.
I'm no expert, but I think she said "squib", which is one of those little things full of red liquid put into/onto an actor's clothing that explode when activated. It's how you see blood spray as if someone was actually being shot, even though you know it's a movie and they wouldn't actually shoot the actor.
Could be wrong.
💯
You’re absolutely right, they’re saying it’s a squib, meaning that the death is staged.
The workers also experienced bad treatment from customers, all the workers held grudges against someone so they were down for Chef's plan
It's crazy because he constructed the entire meal so that they would be satisfied, not needing to take home leftovers. That's why when she said earlier "dont wanna fill up" he said that wasn't possible. She ordered a meal that required takeaway, something that if she had just stuck with the meal provided would never have happened.
Nobody was ever going to eat that complete meal after stuff started to happen.
YES! thank u for reacting to this! 💕🙏
❤️❤️
The rest could not leave because they did not want to. They were all terrible people who were tired of pretending all the time. We were given glimpses but it was strongly implied among them were thieves, embezzlers, abusers, philanderers and so forth and that was a constant in their lives. Or psychopaths as Chef and much of the help. "Why didn't you fight?" This was a rhetorical question that they all knew the answer to. Because they had given up themselves long ago. The exception being the call girl of course who in her life really only was ever acting out the whims of others in order to serve them. As the profession goes for them to feel larger than her and thus have the motivation to complete their tasks. Hence why she was not painstakingly selected as Chef had said and why she was relieved from the poetic justice taking place.
If anyone else here likes the idea of people being brought to an island to die, they might like the 2015 miniseries 'And Then There Were None'. It's based off Agatha Christie's darkest book (with no detectives) where 10 strangers (8 guests and 2 servants) are invited/hired to a party on an island by an old acquaintance, someone claiming to be a friend of a friend or by someone who wants to engage their professional service. When they get there they find out they don't know the host of the island (known as Soldier Island), and that they've been cut off from the mainland. Each are accused of having killed someone or of being the cause of someone's death. Most deny it. And one by one, they die according to the old poem 'Ten Little Soldier Boys' that's hanging in their room and that is shown by the collection figurine in the dining room.
There was one or two movie adaptions before it, but I think they were mostly based off the play version Agatha christie wrote herself which had a different ending. The original/alternative title of the book and the poem was 'Ten Little Indians' or 'Ten Little N*****s', understandably the poem title has been changed and people just call the book 'And Then There Were None' (a more memorable title anyhow).
The show is three episodes long, great suspense, keeps a lot of surprises in store for us.
The chef let the woman go because she saw the photo of how happy he was when he was cooking burgers long ago so she asked for one to bring good memories back to him.
Intense movie but your reaction to this was priceless. This movie messes with ya 😂😅
Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet.
Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests.
The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds"
Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion.
Memory - Self explanatory
The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears. As a whole, it's essentially a dead body with blood pouring out. It even has a hole for the bullet.
Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs.
Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that.
Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.
The Chef is the only person i feel anything for in this entire movie, he just wants to make ppl burgers & see them enjoy them
No sympathy for Erin/Margot?
This movie was bonkers. I loved it. I just thought it was unfair that the wife and the assistant were not let go. I thought they were innocent.
Great reaction ladies! Are you watching The Last of Us?
❤❤
Thank you ❤️ yes! The last of us is on our Patreon and RUclips version is in the editing process 👌🏾
@@JynxRyl - Awesome, thank you!
I mean even the actor...being in a bad movie was a "crime"? Really?
Acting is still a job and people need their income.
@@sandpiperr The actor was deemed worthy of death because he lost his motivation to acting, he no longer loved acting because of the artform of it. He just..Does it for ego and prestige now.
@@Srakch And that's a fucking stupid reason.
Lenny Nero: "I am the magic man. I am your link to the subconscious. I have what you want. I can get you what you can't have."
16:28 I thought “that sounds like the crack of a whip!” literally one second before you said it. I’ve seen this a dozen times and never caught that until today-but at least for once I actually caught it before you said it 😄
Now that I’ve discovered your channel and gotten to see how sharp you are, I’m going through and watching some of your older content. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels. I actually did something I pretty much NEVER do except for channels of people I personally know, which is to select All Notifications.
I’m way too poor to support anybody on Patreon, but I will do what I can: watch, Like, Comment, Share, and turning on notifications. I appreciate you and wish you all the best.
As for THIS movie, I will give you my opinion on why the chef went insane and why the sous chef was the one who pitched the idea that everyone should die.
Smart people inevitably become gradually aware that the way our global society and economy function is that the system funnels ever more wealth and power to those who already have most wealth and power, that those people have a kind of hunger that cannot be satiated, and that this is not a “broken” system but rather functions exactly as it’s been set up to function. Like Lauryn Hill said in her epic song Everything is Everything, “it seems we lose the game before we even start to play.” There’s no winning the rigged game, there’s no way of satisfying the insatiable greed of the predator class, and those who care for justice usually don’t have enough power to make meaningful changes.
The chef had gone off the deep end, yes, but the kitchen staff weren’t mindless followers drinking koolaid. They were all essentially insane from driving themselves so hard for so long and never getting enough rest, which made them more susceptible to despair and extremism, but they all collectively decided they had had enough.
They knew they couldn’t change the world. They knew they were on the road to a slow death, and that they had wasted their strength, their creativity, and their time on trying to satisfy those who can never be satisfied. They knew they had failed and would never have any hope of success. All they felt they had left was to strike back in the only way they could: by taking at least a few of those bastards down with them.
So they poured the last of their time, creativity, and strength into selecting specific targets and luring them to their deaths by feeding those people’s egos, which is really what the customers had come to the restaurant to feed. That’s why the menu only worked if the customers didn’t walk out of the restaurant. They couldn’t destroy the predator class, but they could destroy a tiny fraction of it, and they were proud to give their lives to THAT. They’d been giving their lives trying to please those people, but they realized that was an unattainable and unworthy and unethical goal, and that a more realistic and ethical goal was to wipe them off the face of the planet.
A wild ride. It’s a movie about class war. The staff knew they couldn’t win the war, but they decided they could at least give their lives to winning one battle.
Margo wasn't supposed to be there so by her getting the burger to-go, it worked better conceptually to tie together the loose ends of the menu. That's why he let her live. :)
She waa grateful
The lamb the guy made was supposed to be symbolic. "Lambs to the slaughter"
Margo saw in the pictures of chef- he was only really happy when he was flipping a burger... end of story
42:24 Nerves but still gives us reason to doubt if he's ever actually cooked for himself in his life.
14:34 I always took it more as a curse....I've been reading too much fantasy stuff....
Good movie. Classic tale of how society turns your passion into obsession for an unobtainable goal, that being that the celebrity chef strives for perfection, yet would never be able to obtain that because there are some people you can’t please no matter what. Some people just can’t accept that and in turn it drives them insane and scornful. Which is exactly what the Chef was brought. It wasn’t until she brought up the cheeseburger that he was finally able to experience the same happiness he had in the photo inside the secret room.
it's the emoji for me 😌
Me, surprised that it took yall this long to say he was crazy. 😂
Brilliant movie- They dinners probably could have left at any time ... rewatch -ralph fiennes should have won the Oscar
I like your Shutter Island comment!
lol i have to say its actually pretty funny that you didnt get anything about the movie hahahah
24:12 🤣🤣🤣
to me this film is socialist propaganda🤣🤣class solidarity, eating the rich and a sex worker as the final girl. big purr i love it
Mm the best propaganda!
Cheeseburger is live xD
Hello there
GENERAL KENOBI! YOU ARE A BOLD ONE.
Simple "mistakes" 😂
Oh I love Finnes, always playing the bad guy. But he was right, fuck'em all those jerks, going in the fanciest restaurant just because. God I want a damn cheeseburger so baaaaaaddd.
⛄ 🔪
14:28 Yeah.....most of the diners here.....they're not very nice people.....kind of taken all the niceness out of the cooks as well......
Service workers have to put up with a lot of be from entitled people. As far as the movie Paging Doctor Sunshine actor goes he use to star in good movie and was a great actor but when his acting career dried up he took any acting job they gave him, that why the chef didn't like him or the movie ( loss self respect) he loss his self worth and as far as his date went is that she's a trust fund baby had everything handed to her, she just took took took and slept her way to the top also she sole from her bosses.
There was small microphones in the table that's how they heard everything.
Now the old grey hair man that got his finger chopped off he My molested daughter and had affair on his wife he also hired Erin to be his date once before that's way the chef asked him to name the last meal he ate there. His wife got it right but his last meal was different the last time he was there without his wife.
That woman was a food editor and she had a lot of restaurants close cause she gave bad reviews and her man friend was her me to person.
The three men thought that since they had money that they could do and say anything they wanted and they treated people dirty plus stole from the company and people who invented in that company
They all been there before and the workers that cooked the food gotten tried of people belittling their food. Being a Service worker ain't what it use to be people just walk all over them and think its okay. Just because you work as a Janitor, Customer Service Worker, Hair Stylish, Food Server, Maid, or a Bus Driver rich entitled people think that service worker are dumb and that they're above them.
But unless u was once a service worker u wouldn't understand
All we have to do is remember how service industry workers were celebrated during the pandemic lockdown then went right back to being treated like peons after. Then those same entitled people wonder why those service workers don't want to go back to that.
@@JeshuaSquirrel They were treated worse than peons during it; social media posts saying "hooray for essential workers" did nothing for them & they were still out there, potentially risking infection and death, so that everyone else could stay safely inside, ordering all sorts of unnecessary shit out of sheer boredom. This society is so broken & needs an entire systemic overhaul.
That's what she said
He could have stopped and started feeding the poor, but he chose this instead.
That wasn’t his goal in life.
You two had the worst takes on this movie I've yet seen (in about a dozen). Chef is a genius fighting against class warfare with art. You seemed to miss that point, despite them bringing it up dozens of times throughout the film. The workers aren't brainwashed... the two suicides aren't chef's 'doing'.... this a classic case of the moral poor rising up against the filthy rich. Chef may be the sanest man at his dinner, and by the end everyone [in the movie] sees it.
You’re Tyler in the movie
Even then Slowick is a hypocrite. He condemns the actor because he didn't like his film (his art) because he didn't like it, but making judgements about the worth of someone's art is hard because art is subjective. There are people who would like the actors film and thus his art
Slowick condemns him because he's the egotistical artist who thinks he has the right to judge the quality and worth of others art, while he himself Laments the rich folks for doing so to him
The assistant is condemned to death for no other reason than she did not come from a working class background,
Slowick judges her quality and worth by unequal and biased standards
Slowick at no point is a hero or the good guy in this and the film is making sure we realize this,
Erin/Margo even calls out Slowick as someone who takes the joy out of eating, with no love but obsession and spite
His perfectionism and his obsession with his art and it being appreciated the way he wants it to be, his controlling nature and etc is all called out.
@@mckenzie.latham91 He did not condemn the actor because he did not like the movie. He condemned the actor because the actor sold out for money and exploited his art. Essentially he is saying that the actor did the same thing with that movie that Chef did with his food
The movie is designed for people to re-watch and discover something new about it. Stop being elitist know-it-all you sounds like a Tyler.
@@brandyanderson3522 No he basically says he did not like the film and the memory of the actors face and performance as bugged him since
He’s killing the actor because to Slowik when an artist loses the love and or talent for their craft, there is nothing left to them
the only option is death, hence why he’s planning on killing himself and everyone else
he no longer has love for his work or passion/art and so he believes death is the only option for him to have peace
he even tells the actor
“What happens to an artist once he's lost the talent and passion for his art”
to which the actor agrees.
