She's an escort and presumably to super rich clientele what with yknow, the movie. She's probably not supposed to look poor
The post says born rich looking. I don't think people who are born into money become escorts.
If you're an escort for rich people you generally are expected to also look like a rich person. Especially if you're going to a weird exclusive dinner thingy.
I honestly forgot about most of that movie almost immediately after watching it.
getting out my calipers ah yes... 6-figure parentage with 50% chance of landlord
seriously wtf the girl is dressed up to go to the fancy restaurant, she obv looks rich, but its not her fucking skull shape
americans can only understand cinematic language when it's related to burgers.
SpoilersIn the scene where she eats the cheeseburger, the chef had just announced that he was about to kill everyone at the restaurant in a ritual murder. The woman character tells the chef to make a cheeseburger to prove that he has really cooking talent and is not just a pretentious hack. The chef complies because he's a massive narcissist. The woman character is fearing for her life when she takes a bite of the cheeseburger. She takes a small bite and then asks for the burger to be taken "to go" so that she can escape from being murdered.
Would you eat a massive bite of cheeseburger when the chef just said he was going to kill you? A small bite of burger seems appropriate for the situation of the scene. Twitter discourse is so stupid.
"Make me a burger you pathetic man"
"Yes mommy"The escort escaped by using her skilled labor. Did no one else catch that?
In this scene she says that his food is made "without love" and that she would like a cheeseburger made "with love". He then says "I will make you a very good, very traditional cheeseburger". She says "I don't think you can".
I don't know what the difference is between "she is challenging him" as you say and making him prove himself as a chef as I said. Frankly, I don't even know what point you are trying to make.
It misses the point of my post. The point of my post is that she ate the cheeseburger weird in the first burger scene because she was afraid for her life.
A small bite of burger seems appropriate for the situation of the scene. Twitter discourse is so stupid.
I'd take a big bite
The funniest part of the scene is where she says "I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach", with ATJ's big eyes looking at him. It had to be a joke right?

Considering part of what saves her is that she's showing that he can make good food that's not some pretentious deconstruction of food, and also that she's not some bougie fuck like the rest of the restaurant guests, I'd say taking a big sloppy ass greasy bite out of that fucker like she's hungover at Five Guys would have been the more appropriate move.
I think I remember her doing it like that when she was on the boat.
Yeah but wouldn't it make more sense to do that in front of the chef? Show him that he did indeed make a good ass burger and that she is enjoying it like a regular ass person? She was smart and ballsy enough to call him out on his BS I think she'd have the guts to chow down on the thing.
In my experience, people who eagerly hork down half their meal are the most likely to ask for a to-go box.
No, it's cause an actor is too rich to know how to act. She can play a puritan former wife just fine, but she's too born rich to convincingly eat a hamburglar
I'm somehow not believing that knowing "how to eat cheeseburger" is a class signifier. She also finishes eating the burger pretty normally before the end credits when she is escaping on the boat. I am a huge fan of cheeseburgers myself and it looks to me that she was eating the burger pretty normally at the ending. But what do I know? I'm not a twitter burger phrenologist.
I forgot about the boat part. Yeah, she chimps down on that burg pretty hard then.
tbf has there ever been a convincing looking poor person in a big hollywood film? At least in the past like 20 or so years.
that being said Anna Taylor Joy is not beating the Buenos Aires allegations
I'd say there's been like two, who hit the rock bottom on a heroin bender and got a second chance years later, but I can't name any
She does just bite off a little bit of the burger patty and I don't think even touches the bun with her mouth.
How do you eat burgers that were as tall as that one? It looks like she was biting out the bottom half which I do too on tall burgers, then grab a second bite in the same spot to even it out. You all running around out there with snake jaws
Someone else posted it, but considering the circumstances, it makes perfect sense that she isn't just hauling into that burger. She ate some, while probably feeling not too hungry Omani very pressured cause of the massacre committed by the dude giving her the burger. She took a bite and got the hell out as fast as possible.
I have bad news for you, "comrade"
sike, haven't nor will see that movie, or movies in general
grass
Not wheat? Or rye? Are you perchance a kulak letting his fields lay fallow to deny others produce?
So what I've gathered from this thread is that the film apparently wasn't about cooking people and turning them into burgers? Weird ass marketing then, glad I didn't see it.
It was about pretentious rich assholes being murdered by the fancy chefs who serve them because the chefs come to realize that the prestige/high pay/etc isn't worth having to deal with the bourgeois. Spoilers for the entire movie.
spoiler
In particular, the head chef who has a very prestigious position cooking food for the rich became so alienated that he mass murders the latest group of the ultra-wealthy who patronize his restaurant. He lets the main character live because she isn't ultra-rich, just an escort who was hired to be some rich foodie guy's date. The pivotal scene of the movie is when she asks for just a normal cheeseburger because the main course of "seven types of foam served on a log" wasn't actually food.
Burger (Hamburger), Burghur (English cognate for Bourgeois),and Bourgeois are all doublets of the same word.
You think so? I really wanted to like it but felt like it fell a bit short on its own premise. Very common Hollywood problem though
I think you're right too. I was expecting the movie to suck and was surprised by it. I'm not sure what it could have done differently, but I do see what you mean. It feels like it's missing one last punch or something.
Honestly I may have just had too high of hopes for it. Usually I'd temper expectations for a movie like this but maybe didn't do that for The Menu.
Speaking of having low expectations, that really seems like the best strategy for enjoying media made for broad audiences. I remember seeing M Night's Avatar movie and being pleasantly surprised by it after setting expectations somewhere below the ground
Hello, I just finished watching the movie, can we continue the discourse?
Well it was just about okay if you were wonderin'
I have nothing else to say about this topic.
