you know something has bad writing when a lesbian character starts gawking at the hot guy protagonist and says some bullshit like "Even though im a lesbian I still slept with you because you're so fucking cool and smooth and and im only saying this to make sure the audience knows you’re so fucking cool."
At one point, a character tries to explain michelin stars using star wars metaphores.
"One star is Luke Skywalker"
"Two stars, is whatever character Alec Guinness Played"
"And three stars, three stars is like Yoda"
How is it possible to remember Alec Guinnes' name, but forget Obi Wan Kenobi?
An absolutely dry, flavourless & unsavoury film that exhibits not an ounce of love for culinary arts despite the spectacular looking meals it keeps putting on the table, Burnt lacks the craft, passion & dedication that goes into creating a great cuisine and is solely about an arrogant man's obsession with culinary fame & perfection without ever illustrating his love for what he does.
It tells the story of Adam Jones who was once an up-n-coming chef in a Parisian restaurant before his drug habits screwed his career, following which he disappeared from the scene for few years to sober up and ultimately returns to reclaim his lost glory. But plenty has changed in the world of cooking during his absence and to…
Not like awful or anything but my goodness is it entirely full of shit. Basically TOP GUN in a Michelin-starred kitchen, an entire ridiculous system orbiting around the gravity well created by a dangerously toxic asshole, and yet somehow everyone is sincerely invested in his redemption. Is Cooper's stealth project playing men so transcendently great at something that it grants them public license to be completely shitty to everyone else (see also AMERICAN SNIPER, LIMITLESS)?
There's this chef, see, and he ruined his life with booze and drugs. He also ruined the lives of a whole bunch of other people with booze and drugs and just being a general dick. Well, he gave up the crap so now he's just a straight dick, with no excuse. He makes amends for everything, though, by, get this, by suffering through shelling 1 million mussels in some seedy joint. You see? He's so far above this kind of work that he is making amends to everyone by debasing himself in this way. See how that works?
Very early in the film he's done with the million sea shells and now wants to get back to being the 2…
Well, guess I am on the minority with this one #teamNick
So yeah, this was pretty good. I mean, I totally get why people would place this film on the same level as Gretel and Hansel and basically a bad movie. Its not precisely because its bad per se, but the film is like the cynical, mean-spirited cousin of Chef, where that was such a wholesome and inspirational flick, this one is more a redemption character film, but Bradley Cooper's Adam Jones does a great job playing an unlikeable, thrashy being that you can barely stand - perhaps a bit too much of a good job for many.
Personally once I get what was the film going for, I get…
