    37:55 So in the script, it just called for Margot to sit there and cry upon finding out Tyler brought her there knowing she was going to die. Anya herself said no, and that's how we got her just straight up losing her shit on him. Here's the full quote: "I have a thing about feminine rage. Which people think for some reason and this is no disrespect to any writer - I get a lot of, like, 'men doing really terrible things' and women sitting silently while one tear slowly falls. And I'm like, "Oh no no no no no. We get mad, and angry."

    That’s one of my favorite parts of the movie so this is so cool to know! Me? I’d have beat the fuck out of him and anyone else who tried to stop me would’ve caught a few stray punches because in that moment these hands are E for everyone. I’d have been FURIOUS, not sad. Literally nothing could’ve kept me from flying across the table like she did so to know they were gonna have her just cry … that would’ve made me so irritated.

    At first, I didn't understand it either until I watched it again and saw what was the meaning. That would had been like if chef who came from a rich background and was making really good money but still chose to steal. What she did made no sense to me. All it just showed that she was greedy for greedy sakes. I think the only ones who didn't deserved their fates was the actor and the wife of the dude who cheated on her. Erin doesn't count because she wasn't supposed to be there anyway.

But the fact that they played the mental game and simply humiliated him was SO much worse.

    One of my favorite things I saw in a KZread comment was that Margot’s experience as a sex worker (someone who professionally reads people and serves what they want; not just what they say but what they WANT) is how she survived this movie, and I LOVE that take. If it were me, I’d have just seen the picture and been like, “Huh, how far he’s come from flipping burgers,” but Margot noticed the smile. She made the emotional connection. Now I appreciate her even more.

They spend all day, every day, raising and preparing food, then go to a shack on the island to sleep in a single room on top of each other, only to do it all again the next day and the next. With the way the toilets are, they even take a crap almost on top of each other in plain view. No friends, no family, just chef and them, with no free time. It's super cult-y.

    Ralph Fiennes, the actor for Chef, is the one who played the horrible and terrifying nazi officer Amon Göth in Schindler's list, and also the one who played Voldemort in the Harry Potter series. He's not as easily recognizable as Voldemort but his character Amon Göth scarred me so much that as soon as I saw Chef I was TERRIFIED. THAT's an actor for you. I'm sure the guy is really nice in real life, but I see him in a movie and grab my desk in fear.

    The thing I love about this movie is that the chef is doing this because of people who have stolen away his joy for cooking, yet everyone I've seen watching this film, including myself, has had negative things to say about the food that was being served in the film. I think that was deliberate. The film made us into those ppl in the film: the food critics, the non-cookers, the food naysayers, but in the end that was exactly what saved Margot/Erin, her ability to challenge his cooking & remind him of the joy of cooking. The film was brilliant to me. A new favorite

The critic, with her sycophantic partner who followed her around like a puppy, ruined lives with her opinions; the customers who ate mindlessly and couldn't even tell him what they'd eaten; the money guys who've reduced his food down to numbers; the elitist actor who ruined Chef's only free time, and who was ruining the art of his own profession by churning out bullshit, and his elitist assistant who went to an ivy league school on someone else's dime; and Tyler, the dilettante, who picked apart the art of cooking, taking the mystery out of it, knowing everything about it in theory but had no actual experience; and lastly Chef himself, who participated in all of it by ending up cooking food for people who could afford to eat his food but couldn't appreciate it. Did either of you see About a Boy (2002)? It was Nicholas Hoult's first movie when he was 11 and it's so good.

    From another video: 4:26 Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet. 7:54 Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests. 10:11 The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds" 12:38 Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion. Memory - Self explanatory 23:27 The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears. As a whole, it's essentially a dead body with blood pouring out. It even has a hole for the bullet. 34:17 Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs. 55:12 Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that. 55:11 Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.

    Anyone whose worked in a restaurant knows and or has experienced every single one of these kind of customers the rich elite bros who act like they’re so great and so elite that nothing impresses them and they think they own the staff and should get their own way the older couple in the middle of their marriage who just eat no matter what it i or the cost just as a means of tradition and or routine but who savor and experience nothing That one customer whose always critiquing the dish and presentation The foodie who thinks they know what they’re talking about but have never worked in that environment ever in their life the guys who think that cooking or working i na place like that is easy and thus expect more than what they get etc. etc. The film also even addresses the issue with Art, when some artists are so full of themselves that they believe they are able to pass judgment on others and or decide what is art and what isn’t Slowick represents that kind of artist, the guy whose become so successful that he expects everything needs to be some intellectual exercise but cannot appreciate the difference in art or the things he personally views as lesser.

    Slowik has all the makings of a great cult leader. He's charismatic, wise, eloquent, and in a position of mentorship. He has the perfect place to literally isolate people from their friends and family, and he has power over those same people to make or break their careers and provide or withhold validation. While the specific events of the film are unlikely, it is similar to how real cults function, and even end in mass death. I'm not sure if Tyler was always a psycho, or became one over the course of being indoctrinated by Slowik. Anyway, great movie

    Cooking is chemistry and art. High-end cuisine is amazing, it's made with the best of the best ingredients, with the best techniques and by the best in the business. What I can say, as a chef and chef patissier is that I kind of understand where the chef character is coming from regarding how people take for granted that type of work or even underestimate how hard it is.

    And not even just take advantage or underestimate but just flat out denigrate and treat it as "just food". People don't call music "just notes" or paintings "colour on canvas" or sculptures "just a rock". Sure, a lot of food is "just food" but there is artistry and passion and love that goes into so much of it that it's transformed. I can understand the pain.

    People underestimate the work of everything. Before I managed a water treatment utility, I had no clue the vast universe of what's happening behind the scenes when you turn on a tap. Behind that single action you do everyday, there are people who have dedicated their lives to study and practice of making that happen, within an economic industry in the trillions worldwide. Water chemistry itself is an entire separate branch of scientific endeavour, entire libraries are dedicated to single specific aspects of water treatment, my system personally has spent millions over a decade trying to reduce just one single regulated contaminant. I've had equipment break down that's so unique and specific we had to hire people just to look for and get us a replacement, scouring the planet and then waiting 16 weeks to build it for us, and that's pretty normal. Most water treatment plants are one of a kind worldwide. In current society, ANY action we see as mundane and normal has a whole world behind the scenes that makes it happen in such a mundane fashion.

    I read more into the movie and it makes more sense as to why Chef Slowik had so much BEEF with the people there except for Margot. First is the WHY he wanted to do this? Well, Chef Slowik is punishing the restaurant guests because of socioeconomic issues when it comes to the NOW joyless AND competitiveness of food within the dining industry. Some high-end restaurants are often challenged by such which is why the chef is a clear example of how his JOY has faded away as time went with his career because of wealthy guests like who were invited that make dining MORE COSTLY with LEAVING LITTLE TO NO PLEASURE for the workers who blood, sweat, and tear for the food. Think about service workers. Also, it was crazy how in one point of the movie they were eating ROCKS….. IDC how rich you are there is no reason why the EGO and PRIDE of someone eating rocks at fine restaurant thinks that it proves of their status and how exquisite a restaurant is. Like really where is the actual FOOD? That’s why Chef Slowik feels so uneven with his guests who feel like their status matters in such a way that they have to eat “food” that is so odd just to prove their wealth and POWER which cycles the dining industry through a LOOP of unbearable livelihoods of cooks who lose their passion and love in cooking. This leads to why he let Margot escape. Chef Slowik is shown to have interest in her and we find out how comparable both characters are. They both had to struggle while also using the wealthy to make a living for themself as we also find out Margot was an escort of an older rich man found at the restaurant. Margot also was never interested in the types of MEALS the chef provided which he also liked because she was not furthering the damage already done to the dining industry like the CRITIC who dined there or Tyler who was her “date’. The critic even quoted herself she has caused the closings or downfalls of many livelihoods as we know she is referring to restaurants. Margot kept it REAL which is why she survived unlike TYLER who was a fraud and put himself in the worst position possible. He was the kind of person Slowik DESPISED because people like him further the thrive in the theory in what Slowik argued. The fact that food has lost its LOVE when being made in result of being cooked just for show to be EATEN by consumer elitist with no compassion or TASTE. That is why Margot got to live. She found out that the cheeseburger was how the chef first started and found his undying love for being a cook until it became all about food with no joy or love due to wealthy investors and guests who made it more dreadful, tiring, and COMPETITIVE. Margot was MINDFUL about the burger as the chef mentioned earlier in the movie it is about the TASTE and not just eating it. This is what the chef was looking for instead of some wealthy elitists approval of food which they dine so hard fa but can’t even remember the names of the dishes. Slowik wanted to know if the LOVE of FOOD was still there Margot got a chance to TASTE and confirm that it was still there for some people out there before being able to leave because she never cared too much for the fancy food anyways…what was the big deal if you will.

You don't make little quips after every single line of dialogue - to the point you're missing vital plot information because you can't STFU for 20 seconds, like many reactors today. You guys obviously respect the art and that is rare in reaction channels these days, especially (no offense) with younger people.

    Chef Gordon Ramsey calls his underlings donkeys on Hell's Kitchen. Daniel Radcliffe was supposed to play the actor but had a conflict so it went to actor John Leguizamo. Produced by Spider-Man Tobey Macguire. This should have been nominated for Best OG screenplay Oscar. Amuse Bouche(Mouth) is just a small tasty o'rderve. The irony is that since Daniel Radcliffe was supposed to play the actor IRL his friend Emma Watson from Harry Potter did graduate from Brown which is an Ivy in Rhode Island the same state as one of the best culinary schools Johnson and Wales.
