If I had a nickel for every time I saw an omeleto short film about a cook for last meals, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
His passion for cooking, and the way he made the spaghetti bolognese in a sad state of mind, but still put all his effort and passion into it. That made me cry happy tears. what a great man, doing what he loves, not letting others judgement of him, stop him from his passion.
Kinda of reminds me of that dude from Texas who was a prisoner himself, but also cooked the last meals for the death row inmates for 15 to 20 years. That dude too made a cook book of all the meals he made for some of most terrible prisoners, but put his heart and soul into every meal he prepared
Wow, this actually hit me kinda hard. In the US, we celebrate the individual successful people who achieve their dreams, as if it's the norm. Meanwhile; ignored, are the far greater number of people who work their asses off and pour their passion into something but never quite get there. If you have a passion and work yourself to the bone for it I salute you. I hope your dreams come true but remember, your value as a human being is not determined by what you do or if you're successful. It's about who you are inside and how you treat your fellow travelers.
I love this chef! So satisfying when he's finally appreciated by an Italian who knows good cooking. He's the genuine artist who loves his craft - a stark contrast to the typical arrogant TV chef who humiliates him.
I know what you mean. I just only watched it today, cause I wasn't ready yesterday. Omeleto's stories are like good food, we need to be able to enjoy every bit of it. We shouldn't rush trying to watch it without enjoying it.
Very impressive close up shots, taken at well thought of angles to project emotions 'sans paroles'. The gloom in the room where Roger gets complimented by Bianchi is genius! The grey lighting empathizes with that of a man due for execution and Roger's failed audition. One would think the story would end so nonchalantly and insignificantly, yet in the end there was the sudden outburst of gladness and triumph. Beautiful! It's a real 'feel good' film for everyone. And the cast all gave a high caliber acting which would make Hollywood jealous. I love it.
OH MAN I forgot that reminds me of that RUclipsr who was a former inmate for petty charges and is on RUclips telling and teaching us about how life was in prison, forgot his name. I'd bet a "Death row chef" and he would get along very well.
I watched it again and realized another reason I like it is that the screenplay didn’t go the predictable route of the external tension of Roger almost missing or missing the audition because of being held up at the prison. How many times have we seen that that type of scenario? Instead, the tension was internal and all about figuring out his value and place in the world.
It really was a beautifully filmed, perfectly paced movie that said more in the short amount of time than overlong mediocre movies. The acting was perfect. I totally agree
One of the best I've seen on this channel! He just wanted to be recognized by someone who understood the value of his work. The irony is that the TV star didn't even understand the value of his _own_ recipe, let alone the efforts of the protagonist.
@@SimmonsProductions21 Well, I don't post comments of praise unless I mean it. It is just an excellent short film. I loved it from beginning to end. Looking forward to your next creation(s)!
It doesn't matter what kind of crime in life you did... The notorious criminal in this scene became so good and friendly with the chef... it shows us that however bad a person maybe there will be some amount of goodness still left in him
He wasn't so much "good" as he was "grateful." The prisoner understood his situation and that for his last meal, the chef could've easily not put forth any effort into it. The prisoner or inmate was still an unapologetic wise guy or made man; but he understood how rare it is to have passionate and talented "servants." Even as he sat there in his orange jumpsuit condemned to death he saw that chef as nothing more than "the help."
It was a reality tv show. So no… that’s really not the point they were trying to convey. The reason he got denied is directly related to the central plot… He followed directions of Tv chef and got attacked for it. He followed directions of the inmate, and was praised for it… You missed the entire point. He’s dismissed by the tv idol chef he looks up to, but is immensely appreciated by the inmate sentenced to death…
That was REALLY well-done from start to finish; acting, camera work, lighting, production values, EVERYTHING! I also really liked the message; money, power, fame, it all means absolutely nothing without appreciation for the effort of a job well-done. This film was a job VERY well-done, and I'll be sharing it with some of my students. Sincerely, thank you for your creation :-)
@@SimmonsProductions21 Thank you so much for responding! Your direction played a huge part as well. Loved that the tomatoes at the end create a kind of sauce on his windshield but he’s too lost in his realization of the value of his work - learned from an appreciation of his tomato sauce - to notice. Definitely the sort of film where there are a lot subtle details to notice and appreciation.
We added that character beat on set that day. Really glad we did, i feel like it really punctuates Rogers commitment to his craft even when totally dejected. Thanks for enjoying the film!
I'm pretty sure the PB and J symbolizes him wanting to die. He talks about how he is sick of making pb and j's for deathrow inmates...im pretty sure the story ends with him commiting suicide...its unfortunate, but thats my take
This guy probably hired a few guys to comment for him, get popularity and subscribers, i'll tell ya what though, his videos are kinda good but this free advertisements is kinda scummy...
Everything we do matters to someone somewhere. This is a great short showing you that you should take pride in your work, regardless of what it is, do it well, someone appreciates the effort, even if you dont see it first hand.
It is amazing how many great films this channel makes. Cinematography, writing, casting, just about everything is stunningly top tier!!!!! They just keep making them!!! Unknown cast, but they perform better than many a listers do.
@@qixsphere.1600 lost my left ear when I was 4 in 87. Lost my right slowly into my late 20s. Now that I'm almost 40 I don't notice anything extraordinary about my senses. It's not like I went deaf overnight. I think my brain just had time to adjust. I don't know though.
I only just found this channel and I have to say, from the first short film I watched, I love it! Everything is perfect, from the writing to the filmography!
Great story and a great piece of work. The direction and cinematography were on point and the shot choice, editing, and ambient lighting drew you into the narrative. An understated and truthful performance by the lead Nate Ward topped off an enjoyable and engaging watch.
There really are levels to this. And the acting on the films on this channel is always incredible, top level feature film acting. Any of the other short film sites, and you can tell the acting is just..."off." It's not.."right." It's like they are tring to emulate what they think people "should" be doing but they are trying so hard it comes across just wrong. This is all awesome acting and feels so natural.
Wow. Here’s what I got out of this… someone can give u a recipe to success and still say your doing it all wrong but when u continue on with passion even after you think you’ve failed you will always be rewarded in the end.
This was good, and I'm assuming that that guy that was the show host who reviewed his food and turned it down was supposed to be like a Gordon Ramsay? But the quality of these videos are very good.
Jason Billings messed up by not getting Roger on the show. He was somewhat making a name for himself on TV already, when Carlos said, "You can't stay of TV'. Billings missed out on some great ratings, if he would have had Roger and his story. Now that would have been great Television.
i loved seeing the beautiful fresh vegetables and fruit. The colors are breath taking. i always get very excited when I see food being prepared and cooked. i enjoyed seeing the kitchen and appliances. It is a honor to be able to prepare and cook the best food you can for anyone. You don't have to have lots of money to prepare with love and serve quality food!

Cooking, not crying...
Although...
Lol
Cooking pasta in water from tears.
Cooking is an art! That is too my words, maybe not for everyone, but a chef will feel it's art I am sure.
Glad you enjoyed the film!
Italians say never break pasta its an insult to food
he broke the pasta before cooking
Kinda of reminds me of that dude from Texas who was a prisoner himself, but also cooked the last meals for the death row inmates for 15 to 20 years. That dude too made a cook book of all the meals he made for some of most terrible prisoners, but put his heart and soul into every meal he prepared

I'm a chef who recently lost his passion for it an this reignited my passion. Thank you.
nice
Don’t do it
I don’t always watch the Omeleto films, because you have to be ready for them. When i do watch them, i’m always glad i did.
Sooo true
I always contemplate whether I want to ride that emotional Rollercoaster today or not

Yesssss
what? theyre so predictable and basic emotionally
it's so ridiculous for the public to be angry with the cook. It's a job!
imagine using your time to go to a damn prison just to throw tomatoes at some dude's car.

Every head chef i have ever known, save one, were so full of themselves they deserved a swift kick in the ass.

Such a great commentary on so much of life. Beautiful.
What an amazing short you got there ! Really good mix of emotions with a wholesome ending !
Got a tear in the eye when the inmate said "my compliments to the chef".
