SPOILER: I think there's a lot of subtext in the underground fight scene. I don't think it's exclusively about fighting - I figured people pay to beat you the eff up, especially those with grudges againt you, and in return you get cash or whatever. I figured the guy who shelled out all that money to beat Robin was an ex-employee of his who hated his guts, hinted at with the knowing glance between them. The restaurant world can be brutal, uncompromising. Robin was a part of that and probably incredibly unrelenting to some of his staf. It was never meant to be a fight. It was an exchange.

@scott91575

2 жыл бұрын

You nailed it. It is not a fight club. It is a beat the shit out of someone you hate club. Head chefs are notorious assholes. So this appears to be a place where they can make a ton of money by letting someone kick their ass (I also assume it could be any number of people in the industry, but head chefs would bring in the big bucks). We later see snippets where Rob is revealed to be a real asshole in the past. He fires the one guy after 2 months for overcooking pasta. His wife/girlfriend talks about how she always has to get drunk when they go to a fancy restaurant because he will complain about the food. He was kind of a dick in his past life, and we see this as his past is unfurled. We also know it's not a fight club because his hands are behind his back. Overall I do agree with Mike it was the one scene that felt a bit out of place. It was interesting, it provided information that moved the plot forward, and it also gave us some insight into how popular he was while also someone that was hated. Yet it did feel a bit weird overall. Don't get me wrong, this is a very, very minor nitpick in a movie I love. Yet it did give me a pause of "well that was kind of weird."

@aaryanbhardwaj40

I used to be roommates with a chef. he had a lot of stories about being a vicious asshole, people losing their shit, and the strain of the high stress job.

I kinda didn't think it needed more pig scenes in the beginning. I remembered thinking halfway through, "Oh yeah, this movie is literally about a pig" but it seems like the motivation of finding the pig allows the audience to discover how the movie is more largely about loss and being removed from something.

Cage was great. Having worked in the weirdo world of haute cuisine, the literal underground fight club schtick was unintentionally hilarious. It was fun to see Arkin reprise his role as Adam from 'Northern Exposure'.

This movie goes on my "didn't expect to cry during this film" list

Alex Wolff was nice to me on set of Patriots Day. I was an extra and he kept walking by me and tapping me on the shoulder to let me know he's coming by. We talked briefly and at the time I never saw him in any other movies. Then he starred in Hereditary and ever since he's been a great actor. It's also great to see Nicolas Cage in a movie that everyone is praising his performance and not laughing at him.

What I like RLM is how much they like movies. You can tell they love cinema and film as art. Even when they dog on a movie in “best of the worse series” you can tell they love movies.

I want a Chopped crossover now. Mike and Jay can judge. Rich can compete.

This couldn't have worked with anyone other than Cage, he brings the expectation that he is 1 second from snapping and going full "Cage" at any moment, the audience is constantly anticipating this and at times actively willing it as he is in situations that seem to justify even a "normal" person losing it a little, so for Cage of all people to not give into this is what sells the whole thing.

RedLetterMedia, thank you for teaching me a lot about cinema in general, I enjoy a good movie way more than before and understand why when I don't. And thank you for the hours of entertainment!

There were so many times in this movie that Cage's character could have gone violent, but he always killed with kindness.

This is a story of revenge through kindness. Maybe the only sad movie I want to rewatch often.

I saw this a couple of days ago and really liked it. While slow moving it never felt like it dragged. The amount of restraint the movie had was very impressive. I’ve also worked as a chef for 25 years and walked away from it so it felt sincere. The weird under belly of the chef world wasn’t too far off the mark actually.

That scene in the restaurant was the highlight of the movie for me. Such a welcome surprise. A wonderful film and an exercise in fresh filmmaking. I hope Cage continues to make and support movies like this. Everyone is great in this. But that scene in the restaurant is 10/10.

At the end of this movie I was sitting in the exact same position/location as Cage (well my RL version of it) and the lingering sadness just drifted over me. Quality film.

A little too late to the party but i watched this movie with my boyfriend and my dwarf cat who had been sick for a while on a Wednesday night and the next day on Thursday she [the cat] suddenly passed away. It was such an eerie synchronicity that I often think about. Wonderful movie and performance by Nicolas Cage. Miss my cat so much.

I can see some dummy in the audience saying, “I wanna barbecue that pig!” Then they angrily walk out 20 minutes later because Nic Cage hasn’t shot anyone yet.

I've never doubted Nicolas Cage. I trust that every 3rd or 4th movie he's in will be good. I accept that not every movie will be good. His work ethic is unsurpassed. He's Nicolas fucking Cage! 💪

The 'tear bait genre' is what I call emotionally manipulative movies. The Fault in our Stars/5 feet apart etc where its just layer upon layer of plot contrivances to make it the most sad it can be. I hate that it usually works on me too but it never feels like an earned moment. Edit: Well Jay said it verbatim at the end. Oops.

This review is right on the bacon. I thought some of the more sentimental moments would feel ham fisted but Cage really showed off his chops.

I love that there are all these wait staff and line cooks that pay money to take out their frustration, if you work in food and bev l, this idea really works. Not that I’m advocating this irl but it totally fits the narrative critique on the restaurant industry. As we find out later in the movie, Nicholas cage would fire his staff for minor issues, so looking back on this scene it implies that many of the wait staff may know him and have personal vendettas against him. loved this movie

Best movie of the year so far!!! Made me cry a few times, I don't cry. Completely surprised me as I was expecting a John Wick knockoff from reading the description. A relatable down-to-earth movie, we all hurt and feel pain when we lose our loved ones. Favorite scene: dinner scene, very emotional

I lost somebody dear to me about 10 years ago and started self medicating to deal with the overwhelming pain. This film had such a profound impact on me that I stopped the drug use, and I noticed that everything I had tried to block was still in me and all the self medicating in the world did not do anything other than prolong the inevitable. You have to face it and you have to put it to rest. Its in you. You can't hide from it or it will simply eat away at you.
