Calm and natural, but touching

Regardless of whether such a story can happen in reality, it at least points out a good direction. The film goes on calmly and naturally. It's not as extreme rendering as most movies nowadays. It either expresses sorrow for new words, or turns around in the dark. On the contrary, it makes people unable to leave an impression. It's just a joy. And this kind of slow and calm movie with surprises/moving, closer to life, and more able to see one's own shadow.

There are many touching details in the film, and this kind of touching feels within reach rather than far away.

After the female chef ran away in anger, she practiced flounder cooking techniques at home. You can leave with anger, you can express dissatisfaction, but you will not give up the pursuit of skills, so perseverance.

The little girl’s birthday, the chef did not give the female chef a fake, so the whole kitchen treats the chef with indifference. The manager also brought the little girl to the restaurant to accompany her on her birthday. Everyone's care and love for children always shines with the brilliance of human nature. This is love. To meet the needs of others is love for others. This is the manager's concern for children, but also the concern for employees. Since I came here to do things wholeheartedly, the boss should also care about the living conditions of the employees. It reflects that the chef lacks love in his heart and just blindly pursues skills. In order to pursue perfection, he can give up everything or even sacrifice others. Such an approach is not recognized by everyone. People cannot sacrifice others to accomplish things. You cannot use everyone's strength to realize your dreams, unless it is everyone's dream.

Triple and double the salary also failed to impress the female chef. It was the male chef who really moved her, who meticulously pursued skills. At the same time, perhaps it was the misfortune of the male chef's childhood that made women feel sympathetic. It is more likely that two people who have the same fortune are in sympathy.

you are a piece of equipment VS we do what we do, we do it together.
This is a shift in the chef's view of employees. Even if the cooperation is the same, it is just a different division of labor, not a different status. Everyone who works hard should be respected. This has nothing to do with skills, but with attitude.

The feelings of the hero and heroine are all produced in the process of creating new dishes together. There is no flirting, teasing, glamour, provocative, and there is just a collision between two souls who are infinitely pursuing skills and empathizing with life. Inviting to the party, looking for the chef everywhere, and co-developing dishes are all we do what we do. Without deliberately doing it, there is a feeling of hibiscus coming out of clear water. There are not so many earth-shaking things in life, and more of them are so long-lasting love.

There are many details like this, so after reading it, the heart is full, and the abrupt ending also attracts people to ponder. With some touches and surprises in the calm and fullness, life will have a taste.

  • [Adam has been jumped upon by the French mafia]

    Helene: No, you're not *cooking*, Adam. We can handle it, alright. Just tell me quickly, do you want me to baste them in butter?

    Adam Jones: *Slowly*. And then peel and emulsify.

    Tony: Jesus, you're as bad as he is.

  • Dr Rosshilde: Someone told you when you were very small that you were good and the world was good, and everything naturally would be good. And then the serpent served you a bad apple, and for all your bullshit, you can't take bad. Not in a souffle, not in an apple, and crucially, not in a person. Whatever it was or whoever it was in the past, it's time to get on with it. And you can't do this alone. There's strength in needing others .. not weakness.
