The Menu (2022) is a CULINARY CALAMITY | First Time Watching

[@ellenjarlheden7727]

Omg yesss!!

There were so many calls he made without knowing 😆

@@dreambrother82 do some reason I can’t help thinking maybe they had watched the film before 😭:(

[@Hey_Jamie]

59:55 that’s exactly why he killed John leguizamo’s character. It wasn’t because he hated Calling Dr Sunshine. It was because he hated that he chose the role for the money and not the love of the art, which is what chef recognized in himself. He began to work for money instead of the love of the art.

[@pauldiam0nd]

no

[@birdlythebirdkid5208]

To be honest, I wonder if the reason why he was like "This man has to die" was just that more selfish reason of "your face reminds me of when I wasted my one day off on that awful movie" rather than something more profound. I believe the actor (the character) mentioned something about how fun the shoot was, even though it was so bad, right? At least, I think that's how it went.

[@moviemoth4192]

37:57 i love the moment Margot slaps Tyler bc that was Anya Taylor joys idea. She said she was sick of seeing rage in women as a single tear drop down the cheek and she would slap him. It’s such a real moment and shows how important it can be to allow actors to have some say in what their character does.

[@DianaWoods-n7r]

That slap was real! I loved it! It felt like how I would have responded.

[@lillustpotion]

I think a slap is actually still catering to the male gaze. Yes it’s not a single tear but it’s not realistic in the slightest. A 98lb beautiful girl in lingerie crawls over the table to slap the annoying guy relatively tamely across the face. Like cmon 🙄 i know Miss ATJ has lived a very privileged life but irl every single woman I know would have grabbed the nearest sharp object and gone right for his chest without a milliseconds hesitation.

[@アキコ2003]

It was a punch

[@lol-ot4pn]

To be fair though, female rage was and was always expressed with a slap😂. Its mainly the reason why men dont do it.

[@moviemoth4192]

@@lol-ot4pn a lot of times female rage is shown with women, crying or screaming. So it’s not always a slap. The point was the script did not call for her to slap him. That was her idea.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

It's so funny how EVERYONE who watched this movie thought it was going to include cannibalism, and it just.... doesn't. Lol. Great reactions guys! Also, I love Jack's little chef's outfit. Hehe.

[@Evan-k]

Would of actually been an ok movie then

[@kinesin8221]

​@@Evan-k I disagree. Cannibalism does not fit with the themes of this movie at all imo. Although I understand why people thought about it lol

[@williamherbert2901]

@@kinesin8221bit of a late reply, but I kept thinking of the expression ‘you are what you eat’ being twisted on its head. I was fully expecting Tyler to be boiled and used with a pack jet.

[@pabloc8808]

"It feels very militaristic" "it feels like a cult" that's by design. High-level kitchens operate under the French brigade system, with hierarchy and well-defined roles. The French brigade was created by Auguste Escoffier, he saw that kitchens were always inevitably a mess and wanted to change that, so he applied his military experience to create this system. There's kitchen lingo, there's a code of conduct, looking from the outside it's a mess, but it makes sense to the crew. This movie may not be perfectly accurate but does capture a lot of what it's like to be in the industry

[@sarahmoss1414]

Fun fact about the burger scene, apparently after shooting it everyone was craving burgers so someone went and got burgers and fries for everyone.

[@sentosaco]

To be completely honest, it was the only dish that really spiked my appetite. 😂

[@overdrive7349]

That's the point. It's simple, real food made with love and passion. Everything else was just for show.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

John Leguizamo ordered the burgers and fries for everyone. And I don't blame him, because I wanted a cheeseburger, and crinkle fries the first time I saw it.

[@bloodbrothers6556]

Plus John Leguizamo stated in the same breath that everyone was just plain hungry. While all the food was plated well to appeal to the eyes, all of it tasted like crap. When the burger came out, he felt bad because everyone could smell it being cooked. It sounded like torture.

[@Youtube.c69]

A great detail was Slowik giving Margot bread in the form of the burger bun. Earlier he said none of them deserved bread, and yet, Margot got a bun.

[@Hey_Jamie]

@@KZbin.c69 uhhh, buns are a crucial part of burgers.

[@Youtube.c69]

@@Hey_Jamie n thats why it would never occur to the rest of them to ask for a burger

[@afellowhuman8944]

​@@Hey_Jamie 🤓

[@Cytron36]

I feel that the bread statement ended with the bread plate, as they shortly serve everybody smoked chicken with tortillas, which are really just a central/South American bread , deriving from corn instead of wheat. Them being flat and made from corn doesn’t really make it not bread (salt, flour, water) at its most basic

[@sadiesimp2215]

8:13 jack asking for a burger would have actually saved him.

@@attiraperry Oh that's hilarious. Dang, I wish Daniel had been in this.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

So one thing people miss is that Slowiks house is a exact replica of his restaurant Signifying that his entire life is Hawthorne, his entire purpose is his art/craft He has pushed away things like family and hobbies, all he has is his art So when he comes to hate his art and work, hebjas nothing left to fall back on So to him there is nothing to love for That's also why he condemns the actor, caise to Slowik once you have lost your craft or purpose Dearh is the only obvious solution.

[@JaimeCard]

The intro is too good. The chef whites are stunning Chef Jack. Can't believe Dan would play you like that and not dress up as well 😂

[@LoungingPotato]

Genuinely love this movie. And while part of that is because I have a love for food (although not nearly to the degree that Tyler does), the class and privilege commentary, the little bits of humor dropped in, the study of passion vs prestige. I sincerely think it's one of the better movies to come out of the 2020's so far. Glad you guys enjoyed it too!

It's interesting that he lets himself get stabbed in the thigh the same way he stabbed his abusive father in the thigh but it doesn't occur to him to change his behavior.

[@probablyaddictedtoyoutube]

The end scene, where she bites into the cheeseburger, is to show the viewers that Chef was right. She's an eater.

[@ElderonAnalas]

oh yeah, kitchen clothes definately get hot. I did culinary school for a semester until it destroyed my love for cooking. But, yeah. It was T-Shirt, chef's jacket, what amounted to a tie for neck protection, the apron, and what were basically a pair of pajama pants (at least those were breathable). definately gets warm, but, you'd be happy to have those 3 layers on your chest if you had to deal with grease splatters that's for sure.

Apparently John Leguizamo's character was originally supposed to be Daniel Radcliffe - like, the CHARACTER was going to be Daniel Radcliffe, played by Daniel Radcliffe.
