You can understand this movie when you learn to cook

Forgive me for my bad writing, I may be talking nonsense...
Many comments really feel that I can't stand it anymore... A very inspirational story was interpreted like this. Of course, I also understand that a person who does not know how to cook, or a person who does not have a certain pursuit of food, cannot understand some of the basic content of the film.
I think every good cook is a perfectionist. Every dish you take out must be perfect color, perfect seasoning, perfect temperature, perfect presentation...Many people think that if you can achieve 6 points in each link, you can be an ordinary cook; Each link achieves 8 points, which may be one Michelin star; 9 points, two stars; 9.9 points, three stars... But in fact, if a link is less than 9.9 points, it will be regarded as rubbish, this is three stars... I
don’t want to say a lot. Regarding the plot, I leave this for everyone to see, and I want to talk about some details.
The film itself is very clear about the background information through the male protagonist's self-report from the beginning, and it shows his personality characteristics through prying oysters. The amount of information at the beginning of the whole is huge, it is worth taking a good aftertaste.
The first detail that impressed me very much was the section where he made the sauce. After making a tarragon-based sauce, you will find people to try it everywhere, and you will have to give the most specific opinions. You can't just say a good one, and don't care about things other than the sauce. This is the focus of a top chef.
The second detail, when the kitchen got angry, although very irritable, it showed his requirements for quality. There is no room for a little flaw in the quality of the product. Including the first time he thought that the Michelin commissioner came to visit, what he said to Maitre D was: take it out carefully and make sure that it is the way I give you when it is served... The pursuit of perfection is almost to the extreme.
At the end, although some of the knots in his heart were let go, it can be seen that his requirements for quality have not been reduced. Because he began to trust his partner, and his partner also began to understand his requirements and can meet his requirements.
The back kitchen is cruel, but also tender, especially between the brothers. The feelings that have been honed together from the assembly line chefs, even if the opponents are in the end, can't be eliminated, and they will still help you at the critical moment.
This film feels a lot of details, many things are expressed through some details. The chef’s pursuit of culinary skills, the maintenance of his own reputation, the trust in his team... Maybe, many people don’t know that every year Michelin star chefs commit suicide... Because the pursuit of perfection can’t bear the slightest mistake of his own .
This movie, I think...people who don’t enter the kitchen will never understand...

Burnt quotes

  • [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.
