FIRST TIME WATCHING * The Menu (2022) * MOVIE REACTION!!

[@gigin6534]

Its incredible that they made a horror movie with chef and food, but without cannibalism

[@KurtFeudaleKing]

Yeah I assumed that was 100% happening in this movie. Honestly was super bored waiting for the crazy "cannibal" death scene or at least some crazy deaths. Personally I thought the movie was mostly boring and dumb. And the final death scene SPOILERS: S'mores was laughably stupid 5/10

​@@KurtFeudaleKingbefore I watched this in the theater, I heard it had to do with cannibalism. But that wouldve made it predictable. Im glad the story was something else. Speaking of cannibalism, a good movie is "Green Inferno". That was horrific. Bad acting but the gruesome scenes were what I wanted to see.

The way you both experience films is the way the Chef wants them to experience the food. SYMBOLISMS. 😂

[@lafatte24]

I also watched a former cook's reaction to the Menu and she analysed the dishes and how they symbolised the different themes. Like that nasty ass dungeness crab with umeboshi stuff that only the women got to eat, she explained how all the ingredients were like foundational parts of cooking or bottom trawlers, seen as cheap or dirty, but they were important and taken for granted in the culinary world - just like the women at the table. I'm paraphrasing and I'm sure that wasn't exactly accurate, but it made me appreciate the movie much more.

[@bamflyer]

This is it, this is the point of the film. The movies represents all art and how critics and the “content” generators cheating out for a paycheck instead of trying to make art, the wannabe critics who criticize and judge others but can’t do the art themselves and all the business that surrounds it are what ruins art. The way you guys watch movies and truly appreciate them is the same as ordering and enjoying that cheeseburger

Amazing movie!!! Thanks Ash & Hannah!!! ❤️😃🎬🍿🥤👏

[@s.w.d4010]

I think when the Chef said “Why didn’t you all try to fight back harder? You probably could’ve escaped if you had.” Was a commentary on how “Rich” people never have to fight for anything not even their own lives. Everything has been handed to them and they never had to work for anything. So they don’t understand what it means to fight for something because they never had to. Everything has been given to them on a silver spoon.

I love that Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) is the "final girl" who survives, not simply because she "outsmarts" the killer, but more because she figures out what Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) really wants (to feel the joy of cooking a simple meal for an appreciative customer) and then gives that to him. She is, after all, in a profession that's all about giving people what they secretly want and because of her giving that gift, Chef is willing to play along and let her go as a way of thanking her. Also, there's something really sinister about Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) showing up to the dinner knowing people would die, but still thinking he was the exception out of everyone, but it's also cathartic knowing Margot was the real standout.

[@VG-fk6nk]

He signed up to die as well my guy, did you watch the movie?

[@cometgirl217]

@@VG-fk6nkI presume @Cadinho93 meant that Tyler considered himself an “exception” because he thought he was invited (and dying) as a member of the *enlightened* “food service group,” not the snobby, ungrateful “customers.” (IMHO) Ultimately, the fact that Tyler is willing to intentionally sacrifice another human being -as opposed to the others, who Chef sees as destroying lives through negligence- makes him the most despicable guest of all (hence why he’s compelled to end his own life before the end of the meal he was willing to die for

@@cometgirl217 You can't open up with: "He didn't expect to actually die." and end with: "He was willing to die for the meal." You contradict yourself, and it invalidates your opinion. The fact of the matter is: Tyler knew from the start that everyone was going to die. Everyone. Himself included.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

[@buteragrande730]

[@AngeryCrow]

That one final smile of chef Slowik was so genuine. I was a worker in kitchen industry before, to feel the joy of cooking again is such a blessing caming from God himself. We worked so hard to make the customer smiles, and some of us have those passion taken away by the fame, the money, and so on. The burger reconnect Slowik with his passion even for a short moment, it's spark his soul once more, one true happy smile for the last time. As Slowik hear, see, and feel the happiness from the customer again he decided to let our protagonist go. Knowing well that she wasn't supposed to be here in the first place, and she really make him smile. It's also a reflection of her job, make people feel good and smile.

[@lunacouer]

I was a server throughout college, and you just made me realize - the chefs never got to see the customers smile. I got to see it all the time, but the only time our chef or cooks ever got feedback from customers is if something got sent back. The closest they came is the compliments we passed along, but that's not the same. Awww, I wish I could go back and hug our chefs and cooks. It wasn't this kind of fine-dining, but it was slightly upscale and the food they made was amazing. No wonder Slowik and his whole team went mad.

[@athertox]

And the clap was symbolism: who is the boss, who commands. The chef is in the kitchen, but the guest is at the table. In the end, the girl took it back, so he had to obey.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

One thing people miss is Slowiks house It's an exact replica of the restusrant to symbolize how Slowik has no life or focus outside his art and legacy When Erin is looking about his office for the radio, she sees a photo of Slowiks wife and son whose implied to have divorced/left him most likely because he put work ahead of family Essentially you see that Slowiks whole life has been pushed towards cooking, he has nothing else but his restaurant to show for his lifes work No friends, no family, nothing of roots or any mark other than his sucess Which explaons why he would view losing love for his art and passion as a reason to die and kill He has nothing else, especially nothing that matters So to him losing the passion for cooking is essentially death, so he's ready to die for his ego.

[@janetuss6496]

This reminds me of that quote by the famous dancer Martha Graham: "a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” This is essentially how all passionate artists feel about their respective crafts. The death of their passion or the inability to continue their craft for whatever reason is more painful than actual death.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

@@janetuss6496 exactly, but it also shows that Slowiks choices has led to this outcome His strive for success and perfection pushed away or lost him all meaningful relationships and support structures he could have fallen back on when his passion died... But he had no one, he made no time or effort for them,.so in his moment of need they are not there If he had had something to fall back on, he may not have chosen to murder others and kill himself.

I've study and worked in gastronomy. There's tons of fan service in this movie for those who have been in the food industry (mostly high end). I've drawn lines of olive oil on a plate with a syringe and I've plated garnishes with tweezers. I've said "yes chef!" more time than I can count. Cooking is a discipline that has not evolved as much as the other arts. The military origins of a kitchen are still present. The staff is called a briguade, the line of oven is called the line of fire, the set of casseroles is called a batterie. Great movie. I don't like horror but I loved this one.

[@gpeddino]

I actually love the fact that no one tried to escape at the end and just accepted their fate. It's a like a commentary on how the cultish discourse can influence anyone. In this case, even the guests themselves. At that moment, they believe that they deserve what's coming. Pretty chilling.

[@Mangolite]

Even if they tried to escape, where would they go? The only source of escape was the boat that Margot was on.

[@hali_55]

I actually thought all the guests accepted their fates because just like the chefs, they too had lost passion in their respective circumstances and felt they were better off dead. Margot was the only one who still enjoyed her work.

[@Mangolite]

@@hali_55 In the real-life case of the Jonestown massacre, many followers were forced to drink the cyanide-laced Kool-Aid drinks; if they didn't drink, they were gunned down, and if they did drink, they'd die a slow, agonizing death. Many children died with their families.

[@mjm3091]

​​​@@Mangoliteyou still could jump into the water and either swim or at least try to hide from staff. With everyone destined to die there, you could easily go back when fire would be over. Probably rescued by authorities. Słowik says that they could have escaped, if they tried hard enough. But that was the issue - they as rich people, never had to try hard for anything, so they didn't fight enough in the end. And there was still the boat Margot escaped with (which would probably be left out there, even without her machinations, because Dale likely would also like to be part of the last dish). And if not - guests were allowed to have phones. They weren't allowed to use them, but they never were searched. So you likely could call authorities, if you got lucky with the signal. And even if that wasn't the case - explosion and fire weren't big enough, to destroy the island. With extreme amounts of food in the storage (they probably were prepared to serve a lot of things - if someone asked for something like a cheeseburger), good amount of high class kitchen equipment and remaining wood and metal - you probably could make a good enough vessel. And I would actually expect that staff themselves had preplanned notice to the authorities to clean up the mess either way. They did acknowledge importance of nature and a burning wreck of restaurant wouldn't be against that idea.

@@mjm3091 Have you joined a cult and survived?

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Fun Fact: The Cheeseburger scene had such an effect on the cast because it was a real burger. The food seen throughout the movie was merely props and inedible. The cast got so hungry during the making of this scene that afterwards John Leguizamo ordered burgers and fries for the entire cast. I felt like that when watching the scene, immediately writing the ingredients down for a shopping list.

[@cctomcat321]

The $10 was for the burger. No tips. It was a good play, as are all Margot's gambits. Due to her being in the service industry, she can read people and positioned herself outside of the room. She hadn't been ruined. Everyone else, including the kitchen, was compromised and corrupted in their passions. Margot still knew how to provide service that gets a smile out of the artist. The burger (clearly as you saw) was for him, not her. Very interesting movie. Different, anyway.

[@anvaryusupov8245]

I think it is also a metaphor for how critics, rich people, overly obsessed fans, etc. ruin the art. This can be said about cinema, music, and paintings. Maybe Ralph Fiennes as an actor feels the same about modern cinema. Critics, rich managers who decide what type of movies to make, some overly obsessed fans who know nothing about the films, etc. may in some way ruin modern movies.

[@danebono7667]

Forever to be punished with hunger and thirst.

I love this movie. I even have to confess that I am a little obsessed with it since I saw it for the first time. This is something you have to watch a few times to fully embrace it and get all the details (but watching other people's reactions and hearing their opinions and ideas about it helps a lot, too). The reaction from you two was the most genuine and most engaging one I have seen so far, especially since you really had no idea what you were in for. To clear a few things you discussed after the movie: Slovik had no thing for the rich in general. He had it out for his customers, which had to be rich to afford his food, and their indifference and ignorance about everything he served them. The food critic tearing him apart for the slightest mistakes because it made her superior; the regulars who just ate there as a status symbol and never could remember even one single dish; the business dudes who were just working for the owner and tried to be alpha males with their money, and the washed-up actor and his half-assed ambitions. Tyler however was the worst of them all - a yesman who just elevated everything Slovik did to high heavens just because he considered himself the most sophisticated foodie. My theory is that Tyler and people like him were the ones that drove Slovik to bastardize his art of cooking into this joyless, tasteless, but expensive and exclusive experience for people who were "too posh" to appreciate it. Since nobody would appreciate it, Slovik actually created the worst menu of them all as a point. He served one piece of seafood on a rock, a breadless bread plate, tortillas without condonments, and after the fourth course the male guests didn't even get any solid food anymore (except for the chicken with the passard egg). None of his guests even noticed, because they thought it was a gig for their benefit, and nobody even questioned the fact that they only got a bunch of snippits for the price of a used car (or a Rolex, like Margot said in the beginning). Margot actually was the only one who questioned it and ate almost nothing - showing that she was not one of those morons blinded by their own riches.

Chef's problem was that he had categorized her as a "taker". But she was able to prove that she wasn't. Her job as a sex worker (which she used to like doing) involves figuring out what her client needs and giving it to them. She did exactly that! If you think about it, this was kind of like a bit of a roleplay session. Roles, back-and-forth, a bit of domination tbh, and it got him to relax and to remember why he liked cooking. In that moment they were both in an equivalent exchange: he got to cook, and she got to have a "session" with him.

You’re such a legend mate, thank you so much ❤️

[@pandorawombat]

This isn't a "horror" film. It's a "horror satire" film. It is an homage to horror movies but is mostly a comedy.

[@moneyshots4life]

May I say, what an absolutely flawless transition from the intro into the reaction. Slick af!

[@fanatik2134]

Thx for ur reaction to this movie it was one of my favorites 2022 absolute top notch acting

[@ams914]

They were so obsessed with the idea that cannibalism was a component of this movie, LOL.

[@mantism.d.8363]

Man, Hannah really wanted to see some cannibalism 😂

[@Do0msday]

This was probably the biggest surprise movie the other year. I remember the previews making this look like some weird, try-hard horror movie. I 100% expected it to be about cannibalism because it just felt so obvious. I also expected it to be the sort of movie where diners start getting killed 1 by 1 because it also just felt obvious. The result we wound up with was so much better and well thought out. It was done in such a clever way and I enjoyed the hell out of this. I've seen it a handful of times already and I just think it's a damn solid movie. It's not a horror movie, but it's not 100% a comedy either (even though it's sprinkled in). Dark comedy I suppose is the best way to describe it.

[@sadisticwinter8354]

That "OR!!!!!!!" Hannah did made me jump😭😂

[@rougarabid]

Y’all should check out The Northman if you haven’t. Another great Anya Taylor Joy film.

[@johannaisamazing4137]

I know it's got nothing to do with the reaction, but I just have to say that I'm amazed EVERY single time by Hannah's beauty. Like damn, this girl is gorgeous!

[@LukeMichaelIreland]

You should react to more Ralph Fiennes films. He is an incredible actor! You should definitely watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, The English Patient, and Skyfall!

[@toddhill7483]

That bowl of broken emulsion was 28 ounces of "bitch slap".

[@andiesmonster]

I found Hannah first

[@LMarti13]

The burger at the end has to be the most delicious burger I've ever seen in my life

[@Crowfears]

Sound design has crazy symbolism too. Everytime chef claps its literally the sound of a whip cracking. I didn't realize it until watching a few times.

[@foxpaw1]

Yall are going for some universal meaning. If you read about cut scenes and back story, the critic chanced upon him happily cooking at a taco stand or something of the sort after he'd escaped the fine dining world, and dragged him back from the obscurity to which he fled. He's just killing those who killed his passion, and themselves because the passion has been killed. It's all part of the menu. 43:00

[@RachelTheVlogger]

Nicholas Hoult was also in the film About A Boy when he was a child.

[@beesnort3163]

That green on you looks AMAZING! Matches your eyes perfectly and you are just a living doll! Great reaction as always!❤

[@shainewhite2781]

When I saw the poster, I thought that it was going to be a comedy drama film about a food critic and his girlfriend tried to oust a world class chef for being a fraud, then I learned it was a dark comedy horror film.

[@janetuss6496]

This movie is filmed kinda like that Netflix series about famous chefs around the world called Chef's Table. Like the cinematography, lighting, and everything is very similar to Chef's Table. Check out their opening intro clips, like for volume 1 or 2.

[@craigjeffery2661]

Love this film, been a chef 20 years, fully get how the chef feels & been spending this summer cooking banging burgers 😂 symbolisms

[@mR_wIgHt]

You guys,this was your BEST review i have seen!!!!!!!!

[@Schacal6666]

The chef is Voldemort and the Auschwitz chief custodian

[@Twilightvilf]

YOUR ANALYSIS IS SO GOOD

[@khaosboi11]

Ash got that superman curl😂👏🏾 Cant wait to see this reaction ikno yous are gonna love this film💯

[@ForeverBloom]

The symbolisms are strong with this one

[@kachonga8835]

They all start burning: Hannah: *pounds fist*... "You'd best believe that even with marshmallows around muh neck I'm... * pounds fist again* ... going thru them all..." best quote of the reaction

[@clarkejoseph49]

Just to clarify, everyone except Erin agreed that they would all be dead at the end of the night.

[@aubryellaotero1064]

Immediately calling Tyler out as a complete asshole for the cigarette thing is just perfection

[@Winchester427]

Another film with Ralph Fiennes as the bad guy that you might enjoy is "In Bruges", a dark comedy with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson

[@RealRecognizeReel]

All the people who died knew in advance that they would die. Even the customers were warned but took it as just a way of speaking (the food is so good you'll die). Since Nicholas Hoult's character was so obsessed with the peak pretentiousness of it all, he was the only one who realized that this was meant literally. He was so committed to the exclusivity and superiority of the event, the idea of dying for it not only appealed to him but made perfect sense. At the end, all the other diners accept that this is what they came for and were paying for.

[@MarshaLove0723]

Now that you know they are not eating people (I thought that too...) rewatch it again. I appreciated it even more the second time I saw it. The actor was going to BS his way through a cooking/food show. His assistant (who also stole money from him) and the guy with the food critic are also enablers. All of them in some way, helped destroy the joy of cooking and had to be destroyed themselves. Margot wasn't part of the plan, and they needed a way to spare her life.

[@migiplayz91]

If Hell's kitchen meets Midsommar combined to make one incredibly suspenseful film

[@Matt-cz6ti]

I love this film, the performances are perfect
