the absurdity is part of the joke i was laughing so so much at the end.

Spoiler

you have this genius chef that went insane for his art, and after all the absurd things, you find put he has like this irrational hatred for the smore…so much so he bases his entire suicide grand finale as a fuck you to the smore…i couldnt stop laughing

I was more confused as to why as shit went down the guests were more and more determined to escape yet at the last course they apparently all came down with stockholm syndrome and were ok being prepped into a fiery death

Spoiler

it goes to show the helplessness of the upper “taker” class. he straight up asks them to think about why they never fought back and escape. Theyre pathetic people, chosen for how pathetic they are. it also justifies why margot is giving him auch a hard time because she doesnt fit that mold and does fight back

 

[Paladin-5]

ahh fair enough, i see your point

edit:

Spoiler

I thought the margot thing was more that she wasn't supposed to be there which f'ed up his ability to serve the "perfect" dinner catered to each guest, ie the taco shells with intimate details of each person's indiscretions and that threw his need for perfection into chaos

Spoiler

youre right, just for additional reasons. Not all the taco lasers were preplanned eg her date taking pictures but yes she ruined it because she was unplanned but once shes there hes trying to assess who she is…a server or a taker. Her unwillingness to understand and her unwillingness to eat fucks with his ability to be sure and builds to his frustration at the end where he boils over and she orders the cheeseburger, giving him one last chance to enjoy serving someone that would actually appreciate it…cooking the only thing that made him smile. Their conversation in the back room is amazing imo as they both share why they stopped enjoying their customers

Spoiler

it was also the fact that her date brought her there, knowing they would all die.
I kind of get the chef's hatred of his customers angle, but not his whole staff going along with it.

It was an entertaining movie nonetheless.

Spoiler

it’s absurdist black comedy. The whole staff was so crazy, so drained by their craft, hated their lives and were all wanting to kill themselves and these disgusting customers. It hilarious. Have you ever worked a serivce job. They literally let customers loose and chase them down…only to bring them back to resume the menu lol

 

[amRam]

Having never been service industry scum, I can't relate. But I did find it enjoyable and the chefs quest noble.

 

[easilyodd]

Movie is worth the time. Good flick.

 

[Firerizer]

Odd movie, interesting and at times quite funny. Worth watching, made me want a cheeseburger.

 

[Falhawk]

It was pretty fucking weird and I laughed a lot. The ending was total wtf

Also

Spoiler

he poisdned Margot with old meat. The foreshadowed it early on

 

[T-Dawg]

I haven't had a cheeseburger in ages and I'd love one right now
