The Menu: 6 Things You MISSED!

Показать описание

The Menu is a macabre satire on the service industry and its patrons. It is wrought with symbolism, gorgeous imagery, and some of the best actors Hollywood has to offer. Ever had to wait tables for some rich jerk or food critique or overzealous foody to make your life miserable for the duration of your shift? This is the film to help you unwind after a hard day dealing with the public.

Chef Slowik has spent his life perfecting the art of cooking. But over the years he’s become quite jaded with this pursuit; mainly due to the patrons of and investors in his establishments. Through the eyes of Margot, a woman on a date and along for the ride, we see how he intends to create the perfect FINAL dining experience.

His disdain for his customers is not without merit. They represent all the ugliness in the world. The chef has decided to pass judgment down on these unwitting diners. And he has the perfect flock of culinary followers to help him exact his sweet vengeance.

From the chef’s menu itself, to the island, to the Hawthorne institute, The Menu is filled with symbolism and Easter Eggs. Tune in to catch them all!

Actress girlfriend? I thought Felicity was his assistant/girlfriend. She had his phone, extra phone, calendar, keys … just totally have me the vibe of personal assistant, with extra emphasis on personal.

Another cool fact is chef's name. The W in his surname also indicates that the Chef has Polish origin somewhere in his family. His name is Slowik which is nightingale in Polish. This is a reference to the story about the nightingale who liked to sing and his songs were loved by the people . Once people trapped the bird to make him sing for their amusement. They abused him for so long he lost the will to sing and live since singing did not bring him joy anymore.

We went into this movie having not even watched a trailer. Just saw it on a streaming service and hit play. We were so pleasantly surprised by everything about it.

Give audience 7 or more characters and they find 7 deadly sins reference.
Give audience less than 7 characters, they will find x out of 7 deadly sins refewrence.

Not sure he actually saw the movie. A big plot point is that the actor was there with an assistant who was trying to leave his employ but kept being sabotaged by the actor.

John Leguizamo also played a cook/chef in Jon Favreau's "Chef", so they might reference that.

TIP: The music track on this video is loud af! It really distracts from your voice

Do your thing, but I think that could be better

I couldn't help but say over and over, why aren't they fighting back? I get it, I just wanted it to make sense too.

Why the video quality so poor? It ends suddenly, the music is so loud I thought there was something else playing on my phone. Cringe for a huge channel
