The Menu

Just watched this. It was a very different movie than I thought it would be. The ending didn't make much sense to me. Did he let her go because she factory reset his brain by reducing him back to a burger flipper? Like he just forgot that he wanted her dead with everyone else?

    She rejected his menu and couldn’t be part of the final dish at that point. All others accept that they deserve their fate and are willing participants but she refuses

      If you take the movie's events literally then yeah it doesn't make any sense
      I think from the beginning it does a good job of establishing this isn't out reality

      It's basically an adult version of Willy Wonka

    She wasn't the intended guest (no solo diners), but a prostitute to fill in for the GF that ghosted the guy. The guest-victims are all well to do types, and she's lower class (like Ralph Feines). Feines' character's caught up servicing people with jaded tastes that eschew 'comfort food' (like a cheeseburger), and bent himself out of shape doing so to the point it compromised his artistic and personal integrity. Anya Taylmao Joy's character snaps him out of it, if just slightly. Director's done primarily mid comedies in the past and a bunch of television; you could say that this is his opinion of the state of 'arthouse' film making at the moment: awards baiting from people that aren't in their bones artists, hungry ghosts chasing clout.

      So she did just flip a switch by reducing him back to his burger days. I noticed that after she gets the to go box she leaves a tip, but then he promptly reminds everyone that gratuity is included in the bill. It's like there is a glitch in his reasoning, and he forgets what he is doing during their brief interaction before he kills everyone.

        It sounds like you are literally too stupid to understand the nuance in this film. That's really bad news for you, since there isn't that much nuance in this film.

      So this was just the director trying something new but he has absolutely nothing of substance to actually say. Sounds like he should stick to his funny pictures.

        Being an butthole is not a justifiable reason for being burned alive. I think the only one who actually deserved it was Beast and he hung himself which is arguably a much easier death

        Whatever you want the ending to be is the ending, it's just a movie bro. Just like a song is a song and a painting is a painting. Art is interpreted by the viewer, do you. And while the creator had an intention, that doesn't matter upon release.

          This is 100% true. Once it leaves the artist and goes to the public, the original meaning and intent means frick all.

              No it's not. Everyone will see what they want to see. It allows for great debate and sharing of opinions and views. According to you if some artist paints the entire canvas red and then says it represents evil white men, you'd accept that as the only answer?

                This has nothing to do with what the art means. The artist may sometimes declare that their art is up for interpretation, if they don't, they set the meaning, period.

                >According to you if some artist paints the entire canvas red and then says it represents evil white men, you'd accept that as the only answer?

                According to you, if an artist paints an entire canvas red, and then some guy on Cinemaphile says it represents evil white men, you'd accept that as a valid answer?

                That's how fricking moronic you sound.

    She then spends the rest of the movie convincing him that she shouldn't and it ends with the cheeseburger scene.

    >whole thing is staged
    She was supposed to live, that was part of the "menu."
    He gives her mutliple ways out of the situation, always in the direction that will benefit his cause, just so she won't frick it up.
    The damn chef's house was even staged to mirror the restaurant with which she was familiar just so she wouldn't get disoriented, so she could find the radio and news clippings.
    We can't even trust the chef saying "you're not supposed to be here" because the whole event's existence establishes him as a manipulative liar, plus the multiple contradicting stories which he tells.
    The burger situation serves as an intended ultimate satisfaction for the chef, he gets to make what brings him happiness and also implies a "frick you" to the boorish clientele.

    The only unknown factor is whether or not some elements of the menu were changed last minute to accommodate the different guest, or if it was intended for the ex-girlfriend and she was a suitable stand-in.

    He didn’t really want to kill her like the rest of them but felt obligated to to complete the menu up till the burger order. As for why the burger was the tipping point I think it’s just cause he didn’t expect her to pay any attention to the photos in his room and it was a reminder of happier times as he was preparing to An Hero.
