Personally as a chef there were a few really good jokes. Like “the mess” being Pressure cooked veggies with bone marrow with sirloin cubes and a beef a jue was funny. Literally being pressure, blood (which an a jue has as a base) meat and bone. The kid sacrificed everything and it’s an incredibly dark jokes but there are so many double entendres from the culinary world
"Oh everyone dying was my pitch actually! Super proud of it!" ".......... anyone want any wine.." I absolutely loved that moment 😂 the delivery by everyone is just perfect! Also worthy to note that all the Menu food looks interesting and fancy, but it's the simple cheeseburger at the end that makes you say, "damn, that looks good/I want a burger now."
he let margot go because she wasn’t originally supposed to be there and because as a service worker he finds kinship with her as opposed to all of the rich elite people who drove him to hate his work
@@claireglory lol, i sort of took it as that’s all she had to pay him with. tyler was the one who paid for her visit here and all that, that plus it being crumpled up just gave the vibe that that’s all the cash she had on her
I love how literally everyone thinks it’s going to be a cannibalism movie (I thought the same thing!) only for it to be about something completely different.
It’s not cannibalism in a literal sense, but given how the island itself and the living quarters within are uncomfortably similar to a cult compound, I would consider the Chef a cannibal in his own way. Like a cannibal he has devoured the humanity of every other person in his kitchen and feasts on those he chose for his last menu. It’s just not in a literal sense and more of an emotional/metaphorical sense.
The bad meat did not kill her. That was not meat from the smoke house. The smoke house was for sausages and such. Not ground beef. And he had never served bad tasting dishes. He would not purposely make bad food. It goes against a chef’s plan.
Especially since he was so obsessed with perfection. It is certain that he would never purpousefuly ruin his dishes just to get rid of someone. If he really wanted to kill her, he wouldn't even let her leave and have her eat from the "to go" bag before the final course
Exactly , still wrong to kill her for this reason but it’s not like we are dealing with the most reasonable people here , but yeah it’s pretty obvious she is part of the “system” that destroys the art .
Just to clear misinformation, Erin/Margo did NOT die from the burger as it defeats the chef's plan for the ultimate death of the final meal. The menu only consists of the smore being the final dish to kill all the guests. The director already disproved the food poisoning theory
I’m loving so many reaction channels are watching this movie! I really loved this film and it’s such a cool concept. Showing how people get burned out and exploited because of industries that only care about profit, losing the passion you once had, just, no pun intended, chefs kiss! If I may add something about Tyler, I think what chef meant with him being the reason why things are wrong is because he’s one of those “fans” that thinks they have a special connection to who they idolize, and thinks he’s superior to others cause he has the information available, even though he does not have any of the expertise it requires to actually do what those cooks do. Also, I have to commend the movie for not portraying Margo’s job as a sex worker as something shameful.
I also think that it’s less a question of if they deserved to die, because they were all just metaphors, not real people. They all simply represented ideas and bad habits and self-centeredness that contribute to making a creative service un-fun, a job, a chore, a misery instead of an art, and those ideas definitely needed to die.
In reference to the cooks being in a “cult”, my interpretation is in the service industry, you don’t talk back or question chef, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)
then you have no idea how the service industry operates.. you need to change this sentence "you don’t talk back or question CHEF, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)" to "you don’t talk back or question CUSTOMER, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)" source: I am a Food service worker
i think it was more like they were all representing the food service industry, just like the chef, they strived for perfection they could never achieve and satisfy people they could never satisfy, just as chef told about jeremy. its all much more methaphorical imho, its not about hierarchy but more about the idea, they all felt the same as the chef
Chef allowed Erin to go free not only because she chose as her heart's desire, from anything he could have prepared for her, a common cheeseburger - a very common-folk item - but mostly because she gave him a moment of that actual love of his craft of serving people something delicious. She gave him something he hadn't felt in a very long time.
Regarding the woman who came with the actor who went to Brown university, she died because Brown university is a very expensive university. Since she didn't have to take out any student loans means that she or her parents paid for it. This meant that she was one of the elites just like everyone else who was invited. That is why he told her that she was going to die.
On top of already being rich and having an extremely high paying job, she still steals money from her boss too, which means that despite having everything already she’s still a taker
I highly suggest looking up ‘chef Reacts to the menu’ here and watching it. There’s one girl, she’s a black former chef. She gives SO much more insight into this movie that no one but chefs would comprehend. Every dish, including the appetizer on the ferry to the island, is purposeful and has underlying meaning. Sometimes even explaining what’s going to happen next. Jeremy’s The Mess was a literal representation of blood, sweat, and tears. I forget how she explained that’s what’s on the plate, but it’s fascinating. And like at 8:00, she explains exactly why it’s on rocks. And no, not for presentation.
I truly think whats her face was able to leave because the chef knew, and his followers knew she wasnt meant to be there. And her last gift to him was a moment of forgiveness - almost of charity - for that moment, he enjoyed his passion of cooking again. In real life, anyone whose depressed knows you just have to look for to happiness, and joy in the world - its there if your willing to find it. Honest. He's more than likely psychotic, insane, and deluded in every way - but after being shown that joy before his darkness, he was able to save someone who was (more than likely) pure...er than the person who WAS suppose to be there. If anyone else had tried to pull that memory - it likely wouldnt have worked, because they all are worthless to him. But he truly connected (as well as anyone hardened chef can) to her, as a fellow 9-5 gal (working class person, who actually uses effort to get something they want, rather than it being handed to them). Id like to think this restaurant in its hayday mightve actually been something beautiful, but the darker chef got, the more evil seeped into his depressed mind. A simple way to avoid this would be having some kind of oversight on the island. Some regulations, or cameras, or something catch him doing bad things and getting caught - or if he truly made the effort to give them their moneys' worth - like making cheeseburgers of whatever kind for each of them or something. (or simply not hiring the crazy girl who proposed the idea of this night, or chef too - keep him away from the restaurant.... and you dont have a murderous restaurant...).
what? the chef didnt do anything that evil before this night, where did you get this? he was simply fed up with the archetypes of the customers he chose for his last menu and with himself. the point of the movie is he and his staff lost their passion for cooking a good meal on their way to find perfection, sacrificing everything for people who didnt really give a shit about the food, it was simply a status symbol for them while the chef and the staff basically lived in the restaurant trying to please people that couldnt even remember what they ate. if you think this was about evil chef and crazy murderous girl souschef you really didnt understand the movie like at all lmao.
@@x340x okay? but no sane person can deliberately attack someone else - he was deranged the whole time/depressed. The last time he ENJOYED COOKING was when he made burgers at the restaurant, when he was a young adult - its been years since then, and he went from being happy, to miserably serving expensive food, that no one cared about. THAT is what was being said. He wasnt evil, but he got deluded in his desire to please others, he lost the passion for the craft he had when he was what, 20 or 30 in the picture? And yes, he chose people that had the same thing happen to them, ending up at that point with a group dedicated to that same perfection without passion that he has, thats the point of the whole thing, and why they were all just ready to k*ll themselves too. So single person would just randomly snap after 'not being perfect that last time', theres a thing called emotions, and build up, intensity of emotions, etc. Depression, and then the breaking point when its too much, and they feel like they all cant just give up, and start over doing what they love right then and there, make burgers, and only burgers for their customers, rather than trying to nail perfection, as a critique of food, and then getting their feelings hurt because they did it for guests they didnt want in the first place, which they couldve done.
The customers were chosen because they were the ones who ruined the art of cooking. The woman and the guy who review restaurants and have them closed were chosen for the obvious reason. Tyler was invited because of his attitude of letting the world know that he’s eating good (taking pics of the food he’s eating). The three guys are embezzling money from the company. The old couple were super rich and just needed something to spend their money on and don’t even remember what they eat. The actor and his assistant for the reason that the chef said in the movie. All of this people ruined the art of cooking and the whole point of it. They took cooking and food for their own benefit and that’s the reason why the chef lost his appetite and joy for cooking.
The actor one was so bullshit, he didn't do anything wrong but being in a bad movie. 😂 so how exactly he ruined the art of cooking? Or the assistant for that matter?
@@vicentegeonix It wasn't the joy of cooking for the actor. He just was just entitled so that why he was killed. He was a actor that was not giving his best effort and getting paid. Hints back at earlier in the movie when he pitched a script and said he would say the food was good then she told him he would have to be better he said mmm the food was good. The assistant to the food critique died because he always fed her ego. Agreeing with whatever she said even if it was different from his original view.
@@vicentegeonix it's more than that actually, its been hinted ever since the start of the movie that he was a washed out actor, he knew the movie was horrible, had a bad script, and bad character, but chose to be in it to get profit. Like the chef, he has ruined the art of his career and lost passion. The assistant is a privelaged woman who didn't spend a dime on school and she also admitted to stealing and in some way feeding off of the actor's money.
@@velky_reeds no shit... I know that, but they were there just for comedy because of all the people IN THE WORLD the chef choose that actor just because he saw a movie of him he didn't like 😂 that's pretty. So still is BULLSHIT.
Tyler’s incessant reaching out to the Chef about his work caused the Chef to invite him to Hawthorn effectively for free. When Erin ordered the Cheeseburger, she asked for the price and the Chef quoted her $9.95.
I loved all of Ralph Fiennes films especially Kingsman, but he is terrifying here 💯💯💯. The look on his eyes. This movie brings much on the art of being a chef and the much lost appreciation he's deserving. She was the only one who truly appreciated his art and brought him back to it. 💯💯💯 Best movie ever....the ending 🌄💯💯💯 what a blast 💯💯💯🌄
Cool to see your reaction. I loved this movie. I think this movie was straight forward. Food is meant to be loved and enjoyed. But it wasn't here, so everything that was wrong needed to be destroyed. The patrons couldn't just enjoy a good meal. The cooks got no pleasure really from the service they trained so hard and sacrificed so much to be able to provide. The restaurant benefactors couldn't appreciate a successful concept without trying to exploit the business for more profit. The critics couldn't appreciate the artistry or the painstaking effort or the quality of the product without finding and focusing on the most minute flaws. So sad.
He’s not a psycho because he didn’t like Calling Dr Sunshine therefore John Leguizamo dies. The reason he said that is because the love he used to have for his career has been sucked dry. He hates himself for succumbing to a slave for thankless customers because cooking was his dream. John Leguizamo accepted the role for Calling Dr Sunshine simply for the paycheck, not for the love of the art of his craft. Representing the very thing that Chef despises in himself.
I've watched a couple reaction videos now and I feel like one needs to be in the service industry to understand why he did what he did, just saying not condoning...
Margo reminded him of his love of cooking. All those sad pictures of him. But not the old one, with the burger. He was happy. She reminded him of those days.
From the original script: Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish. It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock. Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while j*cking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon. The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it. The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught. The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot calls him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone. Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes. The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards. Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu. Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room. Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so. Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging. Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts. Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match. The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.
Really great reaction, Im new to the channel, but definitely subscribing, really enjoyed it! Regarding Tyler, yes, his menu was somewhat put off because Tyler brought someone else, but what he really meant was "people LIKE Tyler" was the ruination of his art. Tyler is like a presumptuous foodie, arrogant and big-headed, putting others down for 'not-knowing', pretending to be better than he is. He knows a bunch of details but it's just to show off - and Chef's saying that people *like him* pretend to be as good as real chefs and cooks who work so damn hard to perfect their craft. This is why he had to demonstrate what people like Tyler really are deep down, just annoying big talkers lol. All that knowledge yet he couldn't prepare a simple meal. So yeah, Tyler is the embodiment, and representative, of people like that. REALLY great movie! Really enjoyed it, so funny! The only one I felt shouldn't have died was John Leguizamo, seemed like a cool guy, but he had his flaws too. Looking forward to the next reaction!
Tyler is the elitist and those people definitely contribute to the ruin of any kind of art. Not saying that they should die like in the movie, but 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
As someone who grew up 30 minutes away from brockton mass I find that fact super interesting and telling of margo/erins character lets just say its not the best place in Massachusetts to grow up in
The quote Slowik uses about oppressed fighting against thier oppressors was their clue to how to get out but they didn't work together to fight back. The movie suggests it's because they are so far removed from the common man to even consider trying.
I imagine you also recognize Chef, Ralph Fiennes, (hard to do so) as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies. He also plays the terrifying Nazi antagonist Amon Göth in Speilberg's heartbreaking Holocaust movie "Schindler's List" (starring Liam Neeson), for which he was nominated for the Oscar of Best Supporting Actor. He's also a world renowned stage actor.
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. 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.
Except for the cheeseburger, all the other food was props and inedible. During the cheeseburger scene, the smells drove the cast so crazy that John Leguizamo ended up ordering cheeseburgers and fries for all. As for me, I am having cheeseburger and crinkle fries for dinner tonight, because watching the film has really pushed me to the edge.
No, he’s not from Pretty Woman, he’s Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, more recently.The $10 wasn’t a tip, it was the cost of the burger, she didn’t eat anything else.
When i watched towards the end i thought it was gonna be Ratatouille. I thoguht She would cook him a burger for some reason. Him cooking makes way more sense 😂 but still like Ratatouille.
Good reaction. Wish this movie had a bit more humor and camp that was implied in the trailer but absolutely loved the performances and it was fascinating. This was the chef's final supper and a vendetta against these people (specific to him but also symbolic of the systems) that represent what kills (his) art (/artists): Greed, Elitism, Pandering, Selling out, Toxic Fandom, Unfair Criticism, Corruption, Indifference, Fear of Irrelevance, Ego, Cowardice, Passiveness, Unoriginality, Dishonesty, Abuse of Power, Exploitation, Fear of Failure, etc.
I was team Hawthorne the whole movie. It had a great ending and Erin was able to give him a moment of happiness at the end. She was a giving service worker after all!
I have watch this a few times plus people reaction to it and I still don't know why Tyler takes pictures, except just for that they needed him to do something bad that can be made into an image on the tortilla. He knew he was going to die and their is no wifi on the island so he can't upload them so there is no point to him doing that.
No, you're wrong. Ralph Fiennes was not in Pretty Woman. That was Richard Gere. Strange you would confuse them because they don't look alike and Richard Gere is about 20 years older.
basically all the people in the restaurant are being "punished" for ruining his art form through exploit and ignorance: The Finance Brothers: corrupt and money hungry The Crtiques: destroyed the essence of food endulgence by overanalyzing every single mistake in the dishes The Regulars: only dined in not for the food, but so they can be just seen as "elite" and high class The Foodie: a foodie obsessed man who thinks he is better than anyone else because he knows more The Actor: lost his passion in movie making and just acted on terrible movies to get income instead of working on his craft The Student: a woman from a privelaged background and a thief, also exploits from the actor
41:52 Also, she was the only one who could possible think of ordering a cheeseburger. Not just because she's seen the picture but also because she, as a working.class person, is the only one to truly understand him. Both of them loved their job when they started out but as they got increasingly richer clients, their love for their job crumbled as they couldn't satisfy their clients and their clients treated them like it's nothing symbolized in Mr. Liebbrandt who treats the expensive meals like it's just another dish while treating Erin like crap while demanding horrible roleplays from her. Also, Erin was the only one who could see the value in a cheap meal that was made with love and passion, something that none of the others would probably associate with cheaper food and they likely never ordered a cheeseburger.
I love watching these reactions but also can’t stand people that make reactions. It’s a unique balance of entertainment. Lol. I don’t necessarily hate these people. Just people that make reactions lol but I like watching them. What’s happening?
I know this is more about a 5 star chef losing any love for what he does do to asshole that can never have enough. But i like the part where the asshole customers burn alive. Im sure others understand my situation.
Kind of a weird reaction to a dark comedy. You were horrified at things that were supposed to be funny. Like you get that the workers were the good guys right? And it was a happy ending?
I find it interesting Slowick kept on insisting that Margo had to eat in order for the menu to make sense. Everybody was eating what they were served, which makes me wonder if the food was drugged, and the cumulative consumption made the guests compliant, and therefore eliminated their reluctance to fight back
The chef is obsessive. He insists that everyone eats because the menu has to be perfect as it has been planned out to the last detail. The chef is going to go out with a bang and take everyone else with him.
i have been smoking since my teens and i can actually say that smoking has not effected my taste buds and that is the truth what actually reduces your taste buds reducing the taste is a dry nose and dry atmosphere when oyu are on a plane high altitude your nose goes dry and the food taste tasteless so the airliner will add extra flavoring to the food you eat.
*SPOILER* . . . Erin/Margot dies. They specifically bring up the aged beef and it's toxic effects, the chef mentions there's a savory course left in the menu when only dessert is remaining, she gets her burger medium which is a food safety risk, the boat breaks down suspiciously right outside the island, we end with her taking a bite and the chef's CLAP indicating it's part of the menu after all.
The director has already confirmed that was not the case. Why would a chef spend that long perfecting his art to serve rotten meat? It makes no sense. Smoked meats are used for sausages and the like and not used to make burger mince. The raw burger meat is too light to aged, it would have a deeper red colour compared to the light pink shown. The boat was stopped intentionally to sit and reflect while eating an apparently pretty good burger. The burger was not a part of The Menu as it was referred to as supplemental meaning to replace the original course. Plus there was no mention of the meat being on the precipice of becoming deadly. For all we know it could have been put in there that morning. Not everything is a Chekhov's Gun.
@@mazack00 "After all, Elsa (Hong Chau) suggested that if their meat ages just one day longer than usual, it would prove lethal. Could there be something sinister in the burger? Mylod dispels those theories, thankfully. While he welcomes audiences to interpret whatever they will from the ending-and indeed admits they had several ideas in the script, including Elsa coming back on the boat-the closing shot of the burger is ultimately “a victory bite, if you like. It’s a fuck you, I beat you!”"
Margot / Erin actually died after the second bite of the burger that was the plot twist it’s a follow up on what they mentioned about aged cow meat bacteria at the start of the film. So taking that second bite sealed her fate and she probably already felt it after the first bite already and thought it would be a quicker death if she just finished eating. Or maybe she died not knowing but her facial expression before taking the second bite felt like she deep down knew she’s already dead. it’s a plot twist 99.9% of reactors so far missed because of how subtly it was executed! And it also shows that the start of a movie usually ties a lot to the end plot and therefore should be attentively considered. The reason Margot died is because she’s a privileged child with 80,000$ college tuition to brown.
@@TheMaskedChef7 I think they're trying to figure out how you got there in your thinking. And don't you mean the reason "Felicity" died is because she's a privileged child who went to Brown and has zero student loans? That wasn't Margot/Erin.
@Chef. Nourhan Malik .. Buji Bite Yeah relax dude, he was just asking a question. Also, you are 100% wrong. The beef they used for the burger wasn't the same beef they were aging cause what Erin wanted was a "normal burger" and in the words of the chef: "I'll give you a burger that even your parents could afford"
Food for thought: Does Margo live? The chef's clap at the end when she took her last bite. The smokehouse (meat) part of the tour in the beginning? She's dead. The meat was not aged long enough, so she will die of food poisoning, not by the chefs hand. So macabre. This is no comedy, it's horror. It is loosely based on Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians ..., or And Then There Were None. Awesome film with spectacular performances! Enjoy your video's. 😀BTW, a bit of trivia, Ralph Fiennes who played the chef was Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. For me: Pop, solid 10. On my top 5 list of the best films of 2022.
The director already disproved the food poisoning theory. Besides, Elsa said that the food poisoning will only happen if the meat will be eaten a DAY AFTER. She ate the meat that very night.
@@MrfuckinBeilke not everything has to be a chekhov’s gun for a major twist. I hate this theory and everything it stands for because: 1) it was stated that the meat would go bad the day after the intended aging period ends. Why would they have bad meat if they were all planning to die that night in a spectacle? 2) it doesn’t work thematically. The burger represents the joy in cooking, it’s what saves Erin/Margot from death by being a connection to the working class instead of high concept dining. It makes no sense to also have it be the instrument of her death. It the kind of twist someone would only think of for shock value, ignoring any plot or thematic coherence. 3) The conversation about the meat exists to establish character. It shows that the tech bros are very jocular and aren’t taking the tour seriously, and that by contrast the restaurant staff are very knowledgeable about culinary science and take everything seriously/literally. It’s also a bit of setting up the later mood with how eerie it is.
"Anything with rice and I'm okay". Agreed! 🍚🥄😋 Cheeseburger is one of my favorite eats. So the ending of this movie was perfect 💯. One of my favorite films of 2022. The satire of the food critique industry was spot on. Anya Taylor Joy is one of my favorite actors/actresses. Surprised to see Leguizamo in this. Yes, also in Violent Night.

The student debt joke is probably the best in the film. Fiennes’ delivery is impeccable.
Personally as a chef there were a few really good jokes. Like “the mess” being Pressure cooked veggies with bone marrow with sirloin cubes and a beef a jue was funny. Literally being pressure, blood (which an a jue has as a base) meat and bone.

I love how literally everyone thinks it’s going to be a cannibalism movie (I thought the same thing!) only for it to be about something completely different.
It’s not cannibalism in a literal sense, but given how the island itself and the living quarters within are uncomfortably similar to a cult compound, I would consider the Chef a cannibal in his own way. Like a cannibal he has devoured the humanity of every other person in his kitchen and feasts on those he chose for his last menu. It’s just not in a literal sense and more of an emotional/metaphorical sense.
I googled before to make sure it wasn't. I didn't like it much anyway, though, but I seem to be in the minority.
The bad meat did not kill her. That was not meat from the smoke house. The smoke house was for sausages and such. Not ground beef. And he had never served bad tasting dishes. He would not purposely make bad food. It goes against a chef’s plan.
Especially since he was so obsessed with perfection. It is certain that he would never purpousefuly ruin his dishes just to get rid of someone. If he really wanted to kill her, he wouldn't even let her leave and have her eat from the "to go" bag before the final course

well considering she is an assistant to a movie star she could of easy paid off her loans already. Just saying.
Well but did she deserve to die for it tho? 😭
"You'll eat less than you desire and more than you deserve."
Just to clear misinformation, Erin/Margo did NOT die from the burger as it defeats the chef's plan for the ultimate death of the final meal. The menu only consists of the smore being the final dish to kill all the guests. The director already disproved the food poisoning theory
Plus, smoked meat is HORRIBLE to make ground meat with anyways.
I’m loving so many reaction channels are watching this movie! I really loved this film and it’s such a cool concept. Showing how people get burned out and exploited because of industries that only care about profit, losing the passion you once had, just, no pun intended, chefs kiss!
If I may add something about Tyler, I think what chef meant with him being the reason why things are wrong is because he’s one of those “fans” that thinks they have a special connection to who they idolize, and thinks he’s superior to others cause he has the information available, even though he does not have any of the expertise it requires to actually do what those cooks do.
Also, I have to commend the movie for not portraying Margo’s job as a sex worker as something shameful.
THIS!!!
I Agree Word For Word For What You Just Said, 👏
I also think that it’s less a question of if they deserved to die, because they were all just metaphors, not real people. They all simply represented ideas and bad habits and self-centeredness that contribute to making a creative service un-fun, a job, a chore, a misery instead of an art, and those ideas definitely needed to die.
@jeremymlad
Very well put, spot on
In reference to the cooks being in a “cult”, my interpretation is in the service industry, you don’t talk back or question chef, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)
then you have no idea how the service industry operates.. you need to change this sentence "you don’t talk back or question CHEF, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)" to "you don’t talk back or question CUSTOMER, and do as you’re told (no matter how unreasonable they can be.)"

i think it was more like they were all representing the food service industry, just like the chef, they strived for perfection they could never achieve and satisfy people they could never satisfy, just as chef told about jeremy. its all much more methaphorical imho, its not about hierarchy but more about the idea, they all felt the same as the chef
Chef allowed Erin to go free not only because she chose as her heart's desire, from anything he could have prepared for her, a common cheeseburger - a very common-folk item - but mostly because she gave him a moment of that actual love of his craft of serving people something delicious. She gave him something he hadn't felt in a very long time.
i LOVE how this movie didnt end up being about cannibalism! we needed a new unique movie like the menu
I kinda thought that to But hoy was o wrong but I Loved this movie
Regarding the woman who came with the actor who went to Brown university, she died because Brown university is a very expensive university. Since she didn't have to take out any student loans means that she or her parents paid for it. This meant that she was one of the elites just like everyone else who was invited. That is why he told her that she was going to die.
On top of already being rich and having an extremely high paying job, she still steals money from her boss too, which means that despite having everything already she’s still a taker
@@skylaralley2465 Good point.
Chef calling Richard a donkey was priceless!
took inspiration from chef gordon.
it only missed an "idiot sandwich" gag, but I guess that was too much on the nose.
I highly suggest looking up ‘chef Reacts to the menu’ here and watching it. There’s one girl, she’s a black former chef. She gives SO much more insight into this movie that no one but chefs would comprehend. Every dish, including the appetizer on the ferry to the island, is purposeful and has underlying meaning. Sometimes even explaining what’s going to happen next. Jeremy’s The Mess was a literal representation of blood, sweat, and tears. I forget how she explained that’s what’s on the plate, but it’s fascinating. And like at 8:00, she explains exactly why it’s on rocks. And no, not for presentation.
I truly think whats her face was able to leave because the chef knew, and his followers knew she wasnt meant to be there. And her last gift to him was a moment of forgiveness - almost of charity - for that moment, he enjoyed his passion of cooking again. In real life, anyone whose depressed knows you just have to look for to happiness, and joy in the world - its there if your willing to find it. Honest. He's more than likely psychotic, insane, and deluded in every way - but after being shown that joy before his darkness, he was able to save someone who was (more than likely) pure...er than the person who WAS suppose to be there. If anyone else had tried to pull that memory - it likely wouldnt have worked, because they all are worthless to him. But he truly connected (as well as anyone hardened chef can) to her, as a fellow 9-5 gal (working class person, who actually uses effort to get something they want, rather than it being handed to them).
Id like to think this restaurant in its hayday mightve actually been something beautiful, but the darker chef got, the more evil seeped into his depressed mind. A simple way to avoid this would be having some kind of oversight on the island. Some regulations, or cameras, or something catch him doing bad things and getting caught - or if he truly made the effort to give them their moneys' worth - like making cheeseburgers of whatever kind for each of them or something. (or simply not hiring the crazy girl who proposed the idea of this night, or chef too - keep him away from the restaurant.... and you dont have a murderous restaurant...).
what? the chef didnt do anything that evil before this night, where did you get this? he was simply fed up with the archetypes of the customers he chose for his last menu and with himself. the point of the movie is he and his staff lost their passion for cooking a good meal on their way to find perfection, sacrificing everything for people who didnt really give a shit about the food, it was simply a status symbol for them while the chef and the staff basically lived in the restaurant trying to please people that couldnt even remember what they ate. if you think this was about evil chef and crazy murderous girl souschef you really didnt understand the movie like at all lmao.
@@x340x okay? but no sane person can deliberately attack someone else - he was deranged the whole time/depressed. The last time he ENJOYED COOKING was when he made burgers at the restaurant, when he was a young adult - its been years since then, and he went from being happy, to miserably serving expensive food, that no one cared about. THAT is what was being said.
He wasnt evil, but he got deluded in his desire to please others, he lost the passion for the craft he had when he was what, 20 or 30 in the picture? And yes, he chose people that had the same thing happen to them, ending up at that point with a group dedicated to that same perfection without passion that he has, thats the point of the whole thing, and why they were all just ready to k*ll themselves too. So single person would just randomly snap after 'not being perfect that last time', theres a thing called emotions, and build up, intensity of emotions, etc. Depression, and then the breaking point when its too much, and they feel like they all cant just give up, and start over doing what they love right then and there, make burgers, and only burgers for their customers, rather than trying to nail perfection, as a critique of food, and then getting their feelings hurt because they did it for guests they didnt want in the first place, which they couldve done.
“I just want rice and…y’know, anything with rice, okay.” lmao I feel so seen
The customers were chosen because they were the ones who ruined the art of cooking. The woman and the guy who review restaurants and have them closed were chosen for the obvious reason. Tyler was invited because of his attitude of letting the world know that he’s eating good (taking pics of the food he’s eating). The three guys are embezzling money from the company. The old couple were super rich and just needed something to spend their money on and don’t even remember what they eat. The actor and his assistant for the reason that the chef said in the movie.
All of this people ruined the art of cooking and the whole point of it. They took cooking and food for their own benefit and that’s the reason why the chef lost his appetite and joy for cooking.
The actor one was so bullshit, he didn't do anything wrong but being in a bad movie. 😂 so how exactly he ruined the art of cooking? Or the assistant for that matter?
@@vicentegeonix It wasn't the joy of cooking for the actor. He just was just entitled so that why he was killed. He was a actor that was not giving his best effort and getting paid. Hints back at earlier in the movie when he pitched a script and said he would say the food was good then she told him he would have to be better he said mmm the food was good. The assistant to the food critique died because he always fed her ego. Agreeing with whatever she said even if it was different from his original view.
@@quinnparker749 no, its still bullshit, the actor was just there to be a comedy bit, "I didn't like your movie, im gonna kill you" type of thing.
@@vicentegeonix it's more than that actually, its been hinted ever since the start of the movie that he was a washed out actor, he knew the movie was horrible, had a bad script, and bad character, but chose to be in it to get profit. Like the chef, he has ruined the art of his career and lost passion. The assistant is a privelaged woman who didn't spend a dime on school and she also admitted to stealing and in some way feeding off of the actor's money.
@@velky_reeds no shit... I know that, but they were there just for comedy because of all the people IN THE WORLD the chef choose that actor just because he saw a movie of him he didn't like 😂 that's pretty. So still is BULLSHIT.

Yes, Finding your lost passion again...One last time!
Tyler’s incessant reaching out to the Chef about his work caused the Chef to invite him to Hawthorn effectively for free. When Erin ordered the Cheeseburger, she asked for the price and the Chef quoted her $9.95.
31:49 "Hala" I really felt that.
I loved all of Ralph Fiennes films especially Kingsman, but he is terrifying here 💯💯💯. The look on his eyes. This movie brings much on the art of being a chef and the much lost appreciation he's deserving. She was the only one who truly appreciated his art and brought him back to it. 💯💯💯
Best movie ever....the ending 🌄💯💯💯 what a blast 💯💯💯🌄
Cool to see your reaction. I loved this movie. I think this movie was straight forward. Food is meant to be loved and enjoyed. But it wasn't here, so everything that was wrong needed to be destroyed. The patrons couldn't just enjoy a good meal. The cooks got no pleasure really from the service they trained so hard and sacrificed so much to be able to provide. The restaurant benefactors couldn't appreciate a successful concept without trying to exploit the business for more profit. The critics couldn't appreciate the artistry or the painstaking effort or the quality of the product without finding and focusing on the most minute flaws. So sad.
when both of your faces dropped when the waitress was explaining what was on the tortilla was so priceless
He’s not a psycho because he didn’t like Calling Dr Sunshine therefore John Leguizamo dies. The reason he said that is because the love he used to have for his career has been sucked dry. He hates himself for succumbing to a slave for thankless customers because cooking was his dream. John Leguizamo accepted the role for Calling Dr Sunshine simply for the paycheck, not for the love of the art of his craft. Representing the very thing that Chef despises in himself.
The $10 is not the tip, it’s the amount she owes him because Tyler is paying for the 1250 course meal.
Guy from maid in Manhattan.... you mean Lord Voldemort Lolol
I've watched a couple reaction videos now and I feel like one needs to be in the service industry to understand why he did what he did, just saying not condoning...
"im sorry your dying" is still one of the my most favorite deliveries in a movie ever
The actor who plays the chef was Lord Voldemort.
Margo reminded him of his love of cooking. All those sad pictures of him. But not the old one, with the burger. He was happy. She reminded him of those days.
From the original script:
Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish.
It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock.
Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while j*cking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon.
The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it.
The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught.
The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot calls him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone.
Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes.
The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards.
Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu.
Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room.
Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so.
Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging.
Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts.
Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match.
The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.
He’s voldemort!
Girl same- give me some rice and im good 😂
Loved this movie. A truely dark comedic experience. Great video! 😁
The rich couple were already seated because they asked to skip the tour since they had been there before.
How are you confused? Its not a confusing movie in the slightest.
Really great reaction, Im new to the channel, but definitely subscribing, really enjoyed it! Regarding Tyler, yes, his menu was somewhat put off because Tyler brought someone else, but what he really meant was "people LIKE Tyler" was the ruination of his art. Tyler is like a presumptuous foodie, arrogant and big-headed, putting others down for 'not-knowing', pretending to be better than he is. He knows a bunch of details but it's just to show off - and Chef's saying that people *like him* pretend to be as good as real chefs and cooks who work so damn hard to perfect their craft. This is why he had to demonstrate what people like Tyler really are deep down, just annoying big talkers lol. All that knowledge yet he couldn't prepare a simple meal. So yeah, Tyler is the embodiment, and representative, of people like that. REALLY great movie! Really enjoyed it, so funny! The only one I felt shouldn't have died was John Leguizamo, seemed like a cool guy, but he had his flaws too. Looking forward to the next reaction!
Tyler is the elitist and those people definitely contribute to the ruin of any kind of art. Not saying that they should die like in the movie, but 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
As someone who grew up 30 minutes away from brockton mass I find that fact super interesting and telling of margo/erins character lets just say its not the best place in Massachusetts to grow up in
31:47 I'm guessing she's Filipino, cuz that's such a Filipino thing to say 🤣
The quote Slowik uses about oppressed fighting against thier oppressors was their clue to how to get out but they didn't work together to fight back. The movie suggests it's because they are so far removed from the common man to even consider trying.
the 10$ was not a tip, it was for the 9,95$ Burger! Such a great scene!
I imagine you also recognize Chef, Ralph Fiennes, (hard to do so) as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies. He also plays the terrifying Nazi antagonist Amon Göth in Speilberg's heartbreaking Holocaust movie "Schindler's List" (starring Liam Neeson), for which he was nominated for the Oscar of Best Supporting Actor. He's also a world renowned stage actor.
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.
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.
i'm surprised you cut out the part where Margot tells the chef how she knows Richard.
Oh gawd, Deinise''s reaction's were AMAZING!
He only let Margot go because everyone else never had experienced a hard life like Chef and Margot
This channel is just a masterpiece.
Richard Gere is pretty woman. Ralph is Voldemort
Except for the cheeseburger, all the other food was props and inedible. During the cheeseburger scene, the smells drove the cast so crazy that John Leguizamo ended up ordering cheeseburgers and fries for all.
As for me, I am having cheeseburger and crinkle fries for dinner tonight, because watching the film has really pushed me to the edge.
Subscribed 2 minutes in. Y’all are a vibe! Good😊
you guys got so frazzled towards the end... LOL ;)
Pretty woman? that's Richard Gere, Ralph Fiennes is best known for his role as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter
No, he’s not from Pretty Woman, he’s Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, more recently.The $10 wasn’t a tip, it was the cost of the burger, she didn’t eat anything else.
I mean i tought the movie was really straightforward 🤭 it wasn't hard to understand.
It might be worth researching the stone soup group. One of their offspring was fractint.
When i watched towards the end i thought it was gonna be Ratatouille. I thoguht She would cook him a burger for some reason. Him cooking makes way more sense 😂 but still like Ratatouille.
Great reaction. You guys are so cute together😊
Good reaction.
Wish this movie had a bit more humor and camp that was implied in the trailer but absolutely loved the performances and it was fascinating.
This was the chef's final supper and a vendetta against these people (specific to him but also symbolic of the systems) that represent what kills (his) art (/artists):
Greed, Elitism, Pandering, Selling out, Toxic Fandom, Unfair Criticism, Corruption, Indifference, Fear of Irrelevance, Ego, Cowardice, Passiveness, Unoriginality, Dishonesty, Abuse of Power, Exploitation, Fear of Failure, etc.
Life.
It's all part of the "Menu"

Cuz if she went to Brown (an expensive school) without student loans, she comes from a rich family.
lol love the Grace Randolph shoutout w/ the cheeseburger. She’s the best. uwu
Chef is also VOLDEMORT!!!😌
If you haven’t, you should react to the movie “Fresh”, it’s so damn good.
eyes bigger then my stomach is 'takaw mata'
I was team Hawthorne the whole movie. It had a great ending and Erin was able to give him a moment of happiness at the end. She was a giving service worker after all!
I have watch this a few times plus people reaction to it and I still don't know why Tyler takes pictures, except just for that they needed him to do something bad that can be made into an image on the tortilla. He knew he was going to die and their is no wifi on the island so he can't upload them so there is no point to him doing that.
violent night was great.
No, you're wrong. Ralph Fiennes was not in Pretty Woman. That was Richard Gere. Strange you would confuse them because they don't look alike and Richard Gere is about 20 years older.
basically all the people in the restaurant are being "punished" for ruining his art form through exploit and ignorance:
The Finance Brothers: corrupt and money hungry
The Crtiques: destroyed the essence of food endulgence by overanalyzing every single mistake in the dishes
The Regulars: only dined in not for the food, but so they can be just seen as "elite" and high class
The Foodie: a foodie obsessed man who thinks he is better than anyone else because he knows more
The Actor: lost his passion in movie making and just acted on terrible movies to get income instead of working on his craft
The Student: a woman from a privelaged background and a thief, also exploits from the actor
41:52 Also, she was the only one who could possible think of ordering a cheeseburger. Not just because she's seen the picture but also because she, as a working.class person, is the only one to truly understand him. Both of them loved their job when they started out but as they got increasingly richer clients, their love for their job crumbled as they couldn't satisfy their clients and their clients treated them like it's nothing symbolized in Mr. Liebbrandt who treats the expensive meals like it's just another dish while treating Erin like crap while demanding horrible roleplays from her.
Also, Erin was the only one who could see the value in a cheap meal that was made with love and passion, something that none of the others would probably associate with cheaper food and they likely never ordered a cheeseburger.
Remember the bacteria story in the beginning? Maybe it is her LAST burger too... 😜
Golden chainsaw and dull machete?
I love watching these reactions but also can’t stand people that make reactions. It’s a unique balance of entertainment. Lol. I don’t necessarily hate these people. Just people that make reactions lol but I like watching them. What’s happening?
I know this is more about a 5 star chef losing any love for what he does do to asshole that can never have enough. But i like the part where the asshole customers burn alive. Im sure others understand my situation.
💞
Kind of a weird reaction to a dark comedy. You were horrified at things that were supposed to be funny. Like you get that the workers were the good guys right? And it was a happy ending?
Anya Taylor joy is amazing 💙wish she was swearing in split
I find it interesting Slowick kept on insisting that Margo had to eat in order for the menu to make sense. Everybody was eating what they were served, which makes me wonder if the food was drugged, and the cumulative consumption made the guests compliant, and therefore eliminated their reluctance to fight back
you are looking too much into it, its not meant to be taken realistically, its more about the idea
The chef is obsessive. He insists that everyone eats because the menu has to be perfect as it has been planned out to the last detail. The chef is going to go out with a bang and take everyone else with him.
It triggers me how disrespectful Tyler treats Margot😑
i have been smoking since my teens and i can actually say that smoking has not effected my taste buds and that is the truth
what actually reduces your taste buds reducing the taste is a dry nose and dry atmosphere
when oyu are on a plane high altitude your nose goes dry and the food taste tasteless so the airliner will add extra flavoring to the food you eat.
Thank you, Tyler.

You missed it. The burger was 9.95, she gave a 10.00 that’s a 5cent tip. Basically saying f your food
Chef says that the restaurant is on a non tipping system when he asks them to pay.

Erin/Margot dies. They specifically bring up the aged beef and it's toxic effects, the chef mentions there's a savory course left in the menu when only dessert is remaining, she gets her burger medium which is a food safety risk, the boat breaks down suspiciously right outside the island, we end with her taking a bite and the chef's CLAP indicating it's part of the menu after all.
The director has already confirmed that was not the case. Why would a chef spend that long perfecting his art to serve rotten meat? It makes no sense. Smoked meats are used for sausages and the like and not used to make burger mince. The raw burger meat is too light to aged, it would have a deeper red colour compared to the light pink shown. The boat was stopped intentionally to sit and reflect while eating an apparently pretty good burger. The burger was not a part of The Menu as it was referred to as supplemental meaning to replace the original course. Plus there was no mention of the meat being on the precipice of becoming deadly. For all we know it could have been put in there that morning. Not everything is a Chekhov's Gun.
@@xaten1923 cite your source for the director saying that. Every interview so far, he's been ambiguous.
@@mazack00 "After all, Elsa (Hong Chau) suggested that if their meat ages just one day longer than usual, it would prove lethal. Could there be something sinister in the burger? Mylod dispels those theories, thankfully. While he welcomes audiences to interpret whatever they will from the ending-and indeed admits they had several ideas in the script, including Elsa coming back on the boat-the closing shot of the burger is ultimately “a victory bite, if you like. It’s a fuck you, I beat you!”"
@@xaten1923 source?
@@mazack00 The Den Of Geek website had an interview with the director. The article is called The Menu Ending Explained. I am unable to post a link.
Margot / Erin actually died after the second bite of the burger that was the plot twist it’s a follow up on what they mentioned about aged cow meat bacteria at the start of the film. So taking that second bite sealed her fate and she probably already felt it after the first bite already and thought it would be a quicker death if she just finished eating. Or maybe she died not knowing but her facial expression before taking the second bite felt like she deep down knew she’s already dead. it’s a plot twist 99.9% of reactors so far missed because of how subtly it was executed! And it also shows that the start of a movie usually ties a lot to the end plot and therefore should be attentively considered. The reason Margot died is because she’s a privileged child with 80,000$ college tuition to brown.
What exactly are you basing this off. This is a wild hypothesis with no evidence whatsoever.
@@17thknight just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t make it a wild unfounded guess! Bbye
@@TheMaskedChef7 I think they're trying to figure out how you got there in your thinking. And don't you mean the reason "Felicity" died is because she's a privileged child who went to Brown and has zero student loans? That wasn't Margot/Erin.
@Chef. Nourhan Malik .. Buji Bite Yeah relax dude, he was just asking a question. Also, you are 100% wrong. The beef they used for the burger wasn't the same beef they were aging cause what Erin wanted was a "normal burger" and in the words of the chef: "I'll give you a burger that even your parents could afford"
the director of the movie disproved the theory of food poisoning so this isn't true lol
Food for thought: Does Margo live? The chef's clap at the end when she took her last bite. The smokehouse (meat) part of the tour in the beginning? She's dead. The meat was not aged long enough, so she will die of food poisoning, not by the chefs hand. So macabre. This is no comedy, it's horror. It is loosely based on Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians ..., or And Then There Were None. Awesome film with spectacular performances! Enjoy your video's. 😀BTW, a bit of trivia, Ralph Fiennes who played the chef was Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. For me: Pop, solid 10. On my top 5 list of the best films of 2022.
The director already disproved the food poisoning theory. Besides, Elsa said that the food poisoning will only happen if the meat will be eaten a DAY AFTER. She ate the meat that very night.
@@blainevanity6 If it's not true then the spoiled meat scene is pointless. Why is it in the movie???
@@MrfuckinBeilke not everything has to be a chekhov’s gun for a major twist. I hate this theory and everything it stands for because:
1) it was stated that the meat would go bad the day after the intended aging period ends. Why would they have bad meat if they were all planning to die that night in a spectacle?
2) it doesn’t work thematically. The burger represents the joy in cooking, it’s what saves Erin/Margot from death by being a connection to the working class instead of high concept dining. It makes no sense to also have it be the instrument of her death. It the kind of twist someone would only think of for shock value, ignoring any plot or thematic coherence.
3) The conversation about the meat exists to establish character. It shows that the tech bros are very jocular and aren’t taking the tour seriously, and that by contrast the restaurant staff are very knowledgeable about culinary science and take everything seriously/literally. It’s also a bit of setting up the later mood with how eerie it is.
@@MrfuckinBeilke For me, that scene was to show how serious they were about their food prep.

Cheeseburger is one of my favorite eats. So the ending of this movie was perfect 💯. One of my favorite films of 2022. The satire of the food critique industry was spot on. Anya Taylor Joy is one of my favorite actors/actresses. Surprised to see Leguizamo in this. Yes, also in Violent Night.
