The irony is that although Luca knew he wasn't the best, he fully accepted his place and because of that he turned out far more well-adjusted than Carmy did.
Having Luca's character- patient and self assured, juxaposed against Carmy is such great writing in this show. Will Poulter did an incredible job in this role.
@@kingjayburner that is so cool! I love that he seemingly cared a lot and clearly made the most of his one episode appearance. I hope he returns in some manner for season 3!
There was the same calm vibe that came off Olivia Colman's character. I think that Carmy, before his brother's death, may have been that same calm, assured type as well and that he's been having a rolling, progressive breakdown ever since.
@@paulshawley6490 facts. The photos on the wall, him surrounded by people who clearly are composed and have an ideal goal to be the best in what they do with Olivia and Will characters shows the toll family burden, drama, and death as taken on Carmy. Would love to see them potentially come back for season 3
He's not on camera but the character is omnipresent the whole series, Carmy is the soul of the show, he's The Bear. We kinda have this perception of he's an introvert but he's bigger than we think.
@@grey7513 Carmy is heavily implied to be the chef he talks about here, and there's a framed photo of the two of them in the kitchen at the restaurant Richie works at.
Words of wisdom: 1. Make mistakes. Everyone fucks up. It’s the best way to learn 2. Surround yourself with people better than you. 3. You don’t have to be “the best”.
I was waiting for Luca's character at some point to go 180 and be horrible to Marcus but it was such a refreshing take to see him impart wisdom like that. Made me appreciate his character so much more.
Is really impressive how the show subverts the expectations of the audience, there's parts like this episode and the one with the forks that i really did think the characters teaching would grow tired from the lack of experience or straight up incompetence but turned out pretty chill. And there's other times were i expected things to cold down like the christmas episode and Carmy's mom crashed the car into the house.
it’s insane how this chef is portrayed as much (looks wise) healthier, calmer and confident. He quit competing and is just looking to be better than he used to be, rather than comparing himself to anyone else
I love how scenes like this make the show seem like a documentary, more real and raw. No quirky or witty lines, no dramatic music, just 2 people almost not even acting, just being real. I love this show.
@@danieljessekaplan it feels like a portal into the world of what being a chef is like and the amount of pressure/stakes/skill it takes to come close to the top
@@danieljessekaplan The writing makes it a lot easier, he basically got handed a monologue about an experience most young hotshot actors have had with a couple of words switched around. Olivia Colman's scene in Forks is a similar thing, the whole show does a great job of getting these performances by giving their actors these meta hooks to grab on to. If you take a second to think about it, I bet you could point to like 6 different scenes off the top of your head where the character's relationship to cooking and the restaurant parallels the actor's relationship to acting and the show
Comparing Luca’s perspective on working with other chefs vs Carmy in season 1 saying he wanted to “smoke those motherfuckers” whenever there was a new chef in the kitchen is just such a great contrast
It explains a lot about him and where he is. People like Luca got "smoked" and were humbled, but now have grown into much more balanced and successful people in their own right. While carmy is anxious, creating chaos for himself, and pushing people away.
I supposed you could say that Carmy did indeed have natural talent for cooking that he never got humbled before, till he got to the peak of the mountain and fell
@@subhashismandal9871 the thing you're missing is that Carmy was doing all that for Mikey; all that accolades in order for Carm to go work with his brother , that's all that mattered to him
My favourite part of the entire sequence is that the writer's respect their audience and didn't explicitly need to tell us that he is talking about Carmy.
@@rotsu2108That gives me some hope for FX. I read stories where the Execs at FX ruined shows because they made bad calls and basically assumed the audience was stupid and “wouldn’t get it”.
This show is so good at getting it's message across without feeling preachy or didactic. Characters talk the way people talk, not the way people tweet.
I like how Luca saw his defeat as a way to open himself to new experiences. And the reason why Carmy got good with his craft is that he closed himself off to be laser-focused on his goals.
Bruh, this episode on it's own is just so strong. Season 2 of The Bear managed to surpass season 1 somehow and im hyped for season 3. Now to try applying some of this wisdom to my own life.
Yep, the episode with Richie interning at the 3 Star place, plus the family dinner episode were next level and raw. Stuff you don't get on TV much nowadays.
I was super worried when I saw that the show was renewed for season 2, because I thought season 1 worked perfectly as a fully encapsulated story, and I was worried that they'd ruin it somehow in season 2. I should have known better, and I'm now eagerly awaiting season 3.
Carmy is not on camera but the character is omnipresent the whole series, He's the soul of the show, he's The Bear. We kinda have this perception of he's an introvert but he's bigger than we think. The Show is a work of art in every single episode.
He was great in this, but it kinda undercuts his career a little bit, cause he’s delivered some truly exceptional performances (Dopesick and Detroit are first that come to mind)
Will never fail to astound me how great writers can create a character from nothing, provide minimal context, whip up some tight dialogue, and have them feel grounded and real in less than 3 minutes' time.
I can just listen to Will Poulter’s voice everyday every night. But seriously, who knew Luca was such a pivotal character that revolves around The Bear.
there is something about seeing Marcus interact with other people, especially men, that makes me very happy. He is the ultimate friend: serene, present and confidently vulnerable.
one of my favourite scenes from the show. Will Poulter really nailed his character, he seems so natural and real for such a little amount of screen time.
I saw the "every second counts" phrase on Carmy's whiteboard and in Luca's, but it still took until seeing the photo on the wall in episode 7 of the two of them to realise they not only worked together but took that phrase from chef terry's father to their hearts
I wish more shows had this cadence of dialogue. It feels real, like a situation I could see being real and not dramatic for its own sake. The drama comes from the storytelling, the situations, and these tiny little side conversations that build out these two characters massively.
I genuinely think this is one of the best advices I've seen on a TV show. You can't chieve greatness if you just focus on yout craft, your experiences in life will always be important, because they are what make you different from the rest
Dude i know people are talking about the contrast between luca and carmy but the sub text between micahel and scottie make this symbolism even better. Michael was a stud and this champion that was so self absorbed, and luca was similar to scottie always trying to learn and fill jordans shoes but he stil is considered by many to be great.
I think something that isn’t as appreciated as it should be is how luca handles Marcus. He’s not like most, maybe even any chef we come across in the show. He doesn’t scream at Marcus when he fucks up or has a condescending tone. He’s firm when he makes his mistakes and pushes him more and more until he gets it right. And with that he and Marcus build an incredibly strong friendship.
I didn't know the actor before this episode, and I remember thinking he was perhaps a real chef, not an actor. That's how good his performance was. Two guys talking in a kitchen. Also, I wonder who he's talking about when he mentions the guy "much, much better than me?" :) Such an amazing season.
He was talking about Carmy! It was revealed like 3 - 4 episodes later in the episode called 'Forks'. Friggin amazing. Haha. Such brilliant writing in this show.
These scenes were so beautifully acted and masterfully written. It's some of the best television I've ever seen. This scene is magnificent, don't get it twisted, but the scene with the cousin peeling mushrooms with Olivia Coleman is one of the best most brilliant pieces of film I have ever seen in my life. Absolutely amazing.
It is really hard for a thing, anything to be clever, simple and fun at the same time. It is always either one or two of these. Rare for something to be all three. This episode did it.
The heart of this show that can often be forgotten by casual viewers is that Carmy is a literal genius and incredibly talented chef - world renowned. Thats what makes his breakdowns and self-destructiveness so interesting and the relationship he has with his 'proteges' Marcus and Sydney.
I remember watching this dude in the millers movie. He’s come a long way. He can do comedy and drama very well. He was almost cast as the It clown so that shows his range
Such an underrated show. So many surprised cameos of really good actors/actresses that came to the show. Episodes 3, 6, 7 and 10 are probably my favourite so far.
Help me out if i am having terrible conclusion here but the way show ended didn't settle well with me . I mean everything went to sh*thole atlast. Why they ended it like that ? It could have gone happy way . Carmy getting stuck at opening day and reveaing that to Claire all of a sudden . ThaT fight with Cousin at that moment that day was idk unrealistic and unneeded . Were they preparing us for season 3 by that or ? I didn't even understand Donna part lol coming to door and not entering whatsoever but on her part i can somehow settle cauz she is lunatic afterall. Idk it's jus my thing. The show along with its ending is being critically acclaimed anyway . Also that Fishes episode my god that was tooooo noisy over the top verbal & slightly physical fight. At last I was also confused abt Sydney's reaction I was like wtf is up with her . Now she is sad too why . Wht was she vomiting? In wiki they have mentioned she was satisfied and emboldened lol idk i jus have so many things in my mind
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 i totally got that, season 1 really felt like it could have ended there, but season 2 i think felt the need to create alot of tension for the inevitable third season in the last few episodes. season 2 absolutely ruled overall but the last two episodes were a little rough
@@brandonlewisgaming6982 haha now I have kinda forgot already abt that . My life is mess 😔 now season 3 is approaching already and my anxious unemployed a*s is same as it was . Omg this makes me feel so bad and disgusting 😔😭 anyway did you just complete the show or just randomly came here even after watching it while ago . I have moved from this bear phase and now you might get me hooked again somewhere around it but i should be doing something with my life and there is not a light infront of me .
“Instead of trying to be the best, I decided I wanted to learn from the best. I may never be the best, but I learned from the best; that automatically puts me in the 1%. And that’s good enough for me.”
"Was it worth it? The work you put in?" "-sigh- I dunno. Ask me tomorrow" That is a *fantastic* interaction between two chefs prepping food. You're only really going to know if what you're doing at that moment is worth it when the results come in the next day from what's hopefully a great day at work.
This episode on any other show would be its greatest episode. That it isn't necessarily the best says so much about the show. It really is the best show in television. You can be great, but without purpose, it really doesn't mean anything. To truly live, you have to be part of something greater than yourself. It's a lesson that this show expounds on so well.
I love Luca was number 2 but seems content and happy to be that Carmy is “much better” but completely unhealthy being number one like you have to be crazy to be the best
The scene from the first episode of season 3 shows us that Carmey was the other chef that was so much better than him. Didn't realize until I rewatched this scene. Amazing call back
This scene is brilliant, especially now that it is juxtaposed with how he is in season 3 (minor spoilers) In season three, he is a bit of an awkward mess. Asking too many questions and getting nervous around these other great chefs. But, as we see in this scene, he can be very calm and inspiring. When he's in his element, cooking, he is calm and focused. I hope we see more of him in season 4, as he is the perfect character to compare with Carmy. They both learned from the same chefs (for the most part), and both honed their crafts. Yet, while Luca is very calm in the kitchen, Carmy is bordering on manic. This, of course, is the result of his last chef mentor who severely bullied and traumatized him. To me, Luca represents what Carmy could have been if he had not gone to his final teacher. While Carmy left the experienced a 'better' chef, Luca is atleast happy and enjoys his work. As Luca mentions he, he recognized that he wasn't the best, but took it as a good thing that gave him peace. Whereas Carmy constantly strove to be the best, causing him so much heartache and pain.
Marcus really took that lesson about being open and inspired. Which is what led him to creating a dessert called the “Michael” to represent everyone that he cares about.
He is totally talking about Bear being the other chief that pushed him. Season 3 confirmed they both worked at Ever together, where Richie works in the episode forks. And Carmey was just totally out performing him while they worked together at Ever.
Is this the same chef that Carmy mentions in his monologue at the NA family meeting in season 1? seems like Carmy has the same sort of story? like when he says he's going to smoke this new guy. Glad they had a good ending and Luca turned it into a positive thing.
Could be.... he mentions he was a Commis, which is very much a starter job in a professional kitchen.... and Carmy mentioned the new people he'd see as competition coming in to "stauge" which is usually people coming in for a "try out" almost.
I think a detail that goes unnoticed is that Luca could have told Marcus who he was talking about but he didn't. Luca clearly knows who sent him, but he left it less about respect for carmie but more about the message and advice.
Soul > skill
WE NEED WILL FOR SEASON 3!
Purpose, chef!
Experiences and inspiration.
Humble and manner
Well said. And well received.
The irony is that although Luca knew he wasn't the best, he fully accepted his place and because of that he turned out far more well-adjusted than Carmy did.
And he became great at his craft
so true actually, I think people think so much about the short term, they forget the long term
was that a reference to Ramsey and White or am I tripping?
This is truly inspiring
Having Luca's character- patient and self assured, juxaposed against Carmy is such great writing in this show. Will Poulter did an incredible job in this role.
Apparently he was a huge fan of season 1 and really wanted to be a part of the show.

It's ingenious how they filled in Carmy's backstory by having other characters learn and grow from the people he worked with.
Ingenious writing

Loved this scene, Luca seems so intense but conveys some rock hard wisdom gently and passionately.
Luca being super calm, wise, and mindful, is a breath of fresh air compared to when Carmine is yelling and screaming.

To see a fantastically written show like this these days is like a breeze of fresh air
When I first watched I knew he was talking about Carmy, when Ritchie saw their picture at the restaurant I did a smirk smile "I knew it"
Him and Joel McHale have such great cameos.
It is really hard for a thing, anything to be clever, simple and fun at the same time. It is always either one or two of these. Rare for something to be all three. This episode did it.

Thats what makes his breakdowns and self-destructiveness so interesting and the relationship he has with his 'proteges' Marcus and Sydney.
Luca came across as more stern and strict than Carmen is. But this scene shows how supportive and inspirational the former was to Marcus.
its cool that they made Luca and Carmy complete opposites even down to the clothes they wear is really cool.

Marcus is by far the most interesting character in the show.
This show has so many famous fans. They all called their agents to beg for a season 2 role!
Here after Bayley posting this on her story about Sasha
Same
I love Luca was number 2 but seems content and happy to be that
Carmy is “much better” but completely unhealthy being number one like you have to be crazy to be the best
The scene from the first episode of season 3 shows us that Carmey was the other chef that was so much better than him. Didn't realize until I rewatched this scene. Amazing call back
This scene is brilliant, especially now that it is juxtaposed with how he is in season 3 (minor spoilers)
In season three, he is a bit of an awkward mess. Asking too many questions and getting nervous around these other great chefs. But, as we see in this scene, he can be very calm and inspiring. When he's in his element, cooking, he is calm and focused. I hope we see more of him in season 4, as he is the perfect character to compare with Carmy. They both learned from the same chefs (for the most part), and both honed their crafts. Yet, while Luca is very calm in the kitchen, Carmy is bordering on manic. This, of course, is the result of his last chef mentor who severely bullied and traumatized him. To me, Luca represents what Carmy could have been if he had not gone to his final teacher. While Carmy left the experienced a 'better' chef, Luca is atleast happy and enjoys his work. As Luca mentions he, he recognized that he wasn't the best, but took it as a good thing that gave him peace. Whereas Carmy constantly strove to be the best, causing him so much heartache and pain.
Mess up, just dont give up. And the more you mess up the more you will learn how to fix those mistakes.
I was waiting the whole episode for him to flip. At the end of the episode realised how brilliantly this was written.
This was one of the best episodes besides the finale in Season 2
If there was one scene in any show / movie that has aligned my view. This is the scene.
Marcus really took that lesson about being open and inspired. Which is what led him to creating a dessert called the “Michael” to represent everyone that he cares about.
He is totally talking about Bear being the other chief that pushed him. Season 3 confirmed they both worked at Ever together, where Richie works in the episode forks. And Carmey was just totally out performing him while they worked together at Ever.
Best show for the past 3 years. Fight me.
Fave. I think about this scene all the time. ❤
Idk why but season 2 of the bear reminds me a lot of atlanta's writing and editing.
I dig it
EXACTLY!! A lot of the fine details especially, the pace of the dialogue etc.
The best episode with Forks of the entire show
I just realized that the chef Will’s character had a rivalry with was Carmy. I hate when I have “ah ha” moments way later after watching something 😂
One of the best shows out there right now
Is this the same chef that Carmy mentions in his monologue at the NA family meeting in season 1? seems like Carmy has the same sort of story? like when he says he's going to smoke this new guy. Glad they had a good ending and Luca turned it into a positive thing.
Could be.... he mentions he was a Commis, which is very much a starter job in a professional kitchen.... and Carmy mentioned the new people he'd see as competition coming in to "stauge" which is usually people coming in for a "try out" almost.
@@KS-xk2so "stage" in French literally means "internship" so yeah that's just people coming over to work and train themselves
Luca found solace in not being the best, Carmy always wanted to be the best and it ended up being his curse...
Wills hair steals this scene
AMAZING WRITING!!! Success well deserved.
Will Poulter is doing some good work out there. Go on lad 👍🏼👌
this bro had the greatest glow up I've seen in my entire life
You don't have to be the best performer, but you can be the best student. Different things.
Adam warlock be dropping bars.
I think a detail that goes unnoticed is that Luca could have told Marcus who he was talking about but he didn't. Luca clearly knows who sent him, but he left it less about respect for carmie but more about the message and advice.
