I love how the instructor in the advanced class was so polite and encouraging. He didn’t shame Child for not knowing what to do, corrected her technique without being rude, and gave her praise when she earned it. That’s a good teacher!

Only a chad like him could carry a moustache like that

[@AndrewBushnell]

Having worked with a few French-trained chef's, I'm skeptical that Julia's instructor was actually that nice to her.

[@xxamightystormxx]

@@AndrewBushnell why?

[@noussanim]

I love that teacher. " well done, Madame Child." I'm sure thst meant a lot to her.

[@errhka]

Lol the instructor passed the vibe check

[@konalily]

👌🏽👌🏽

[@amylee9442]

Paul be like: who’s cutting onions- ohhhh 😂

[@jamiebristow8378]

Unironically the best example of how to improve at a skill I've ever seen in media. If you learn something in class/on a job, go back and practice it 100x over

[@joshuabessire9169]

The Frenchman only helped her cut the onions because, in a deleted scene, she badmouthed the Austrians beforhand. He knew the secret of onion preparation was safe.

[@saraly9477]

I love this movie, i love to cook. Make me think about my life, while I'm working with my patients and the only thing i would love to do is cooking, painting and reading.... Life is mysterious....

[@BlindingDarkness1111]

I think Julia was an amazing person! 🤩

[@EASal-qr6if]

I never caught that she makes a face at the G.I. before.

[@karenshort3880]

Y’all cut out the reaction to Julia flipping the omelette.

[@redroselace9545]

I'm watching this again. So cosy and lovely.

[@jaffaesque]

Such a great movie!

[@Cyril29a]

I am a 47 year old man and I absolutely love this film. It is partially responsible for my learning how to cook over the last few years.

[@pamelar5868]

I just love this movie!

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

There is nothing in this film that appeals to me. But it was so, so good. Streep is incredible, as are the rest.

[@christopherpasta344]

I’ve decided I want to see this now

[@ritchyhonore6179]

Merry Streep is a Genius!

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS

[@bobbennett2602]

love when she's chopping & her husband walks in

[@yveslafrance2806]

I loved the movie, but didn’t realize at the time that when she “wins” the onion cutting she still doesn’t hold the knife properly. I wonder if it’s Meryl Streep who can’t cook. Also, her wrist action on folding the omelette is rather dubious.

[@XIplupIX]

It's new to me that people fold it by throwing anyway, not to mention French omlets ussualy require something to stir the omlett in the early stages.

[@gregoryborton6598]

@@XIplupIX That's what they were learning in the class; they were all shaking their pans to create the initial agitation for French omelets without making scrambled eggs

[@XIplupIX]

@@gregoryborton6598 the only reason to do it like that though would be if you work at a very busy place where you have to make like 6 or more at the same time. The proper one starts like a scramble egg basicily and once it starts to settle you leave it alone. That how I learned it in France and how all KZbin tutorials from people who went to culinary schools do it. Atleast the tradition French omlett. There are different styles of omlett.

[@XIplupIX]

@Russ Rockjaw TV possible Argumemt but I feel like it is more just not to acurate cooking. Which will be fine for a movie. I Mena French omlets even if you would go for speed would never look like that.french omlets are made at low heat and end up runny in the middle(basicily what you don't see cause of the fold). This looks more like an American omlett, which is by tradition French standard overcooked(not saying it is bad or taste bad just stating how classic French cooks think)

[@illznik2]

I'm confident that Meryl Streep would have taken the time to learn how to cut an onion properly if she was supposed to. I think they were trying to show that Julia had the basics down but she was more competitive and overenthusiastic to do it exactly right.

[@actaemazantor9558]

"As if i'm some... frivolous housewife just looking for a way to kill... time." It's ironic that she literally is that. XD

[@ColburnClassroom]

she is one of the most famous chefs in history. I think not.

[@actaemazantor9558]

@@ColburnClassroom At this moment in her life she was not.

[@SyrupAndBitters]

Also she worked in the army for years doing counter intelligence work. That is how she met her husband.

[@bfg3890]

@@actaemazantor9558 Try looking at her life before this moment. She was anything but a “frivolous housewife”

[@christiankrenek7689]

It’s definitely a back and forth. She does want something to pour her energy into, but not in a frivolous or silly way. She wants a hobby that MATTERS-a calling. And as others have said, Child was active in Secret Service work (she developed an anti-shark repellent that’s still used today!) before she learned to cook. What an amazing woman!

[@petergreenwald9639]

I had never heard of this movie. It looks interesting.

[@geoffreyokrongly916]

Slow, but fun. The humor is extremely relatable, not over the top or over done. And the same can be said for the drama. Not my favorite movie, but still one that I deeply enjoy.

[@justcarineinparis]

Really? Maybe because you’re not interested in cuisine … or don’t know about Julia Child? It was quite a success when it came out

Why did she scream in that poor chef's ear?

[@christiankrenek7689]

“Not me!” She was responding to him saying that the knife should only cut the onion, not her other hand.

[@bencochrane6112]

She's going to make a Heck ton of curry...

[@janebaker4912]

I didn't like this movie. The other Julia was a downer

[@allykatt1849]

As a woman, I would prefer a class with all men as it would enable me to go through encouraging obstacles and challenges. From my experience, to many women together creates unwanted drama and envious rivals. Even if you have great hair, that's enough reason for some women to hate on you. It sounds crazy, but the hate is ridiculous, even if it has nothing to do with you as a person. Like I said, I speak from my experience. The majority of my close friends are males and I wouldn't have it any other way.
