Crazy, I just rewatched this film. Still love it. It really made me appreciate Colin Farrell.

Catch Me If You Can is the most underrated Spielberg film imo

Apparently the movie is a commentary on movies,
The foodie is the worst person because they're representative of a film fan who obsesses so much about the technical aspects of film and consequently misses the fucking point of the movie... it's a whole made for a purpose.
Essentially the film is saying "why do you know these things if you aren't using that knowledge?"
>So, why focus on these people, who by and large are just regular people trying to enjoy their dinner?
This character is in the film and she >!survives!<.

I just mentioned Her in another thread. Blade Runner is the obvious choice. Star Trek TNG "Inner light" episode is one of my personal favorites, but it's not strictly romance.

Reply to comment by BEE_REAL_ in Why is the foodie archetype the worst person in "The Menu"? by happyposterofham
I do wonder if that happens though. Like there could be a director out there who really wants to make a Dwayne Johnson shooty bang film but their entire reputation is now staked to producing three-hour black and white misery-fests about poverty stricken Polish farmers.
So now they're really phoning it in. 'Oh yeah... The empty well is totally supposed to symbolise the hopes and dreams of the village, for sure. Whatever.' whilst quietly grumbling to themselves that they could be in Dubai blowing shit up and having fun.
But the critics keep praising them no matter what because they're convinced its still some auteur visionary stuff so the director is never getting free.

>But, the guy who goes there and is trying to understand what's going on?
Tyler doesn't go there 'trying to understand'. He goes there thinking he already knows everything. Tyler thinks he's a special little boy that the chef is going to love because he's going to show off how knowledgeable he is. He thinks he's above the rules laid out every time (taking photos, not running during the hunt, and honestly I think he expected to be spared). He expresses elitism over those who don't know as much as him, even though his own ability and knowledge is demonstrated to be lacklustre. He idolises the head chef whilst minimising the contributions of the other chefs (not asking the other chefs name early on, not recognising the whole menu is a collaborative process with others having input beyond Slowik) Oh yeah, and the whole thing about dragging another person to certain death.
Key to his character is 'I'm special and I can do what I want because of it.'

This film is well known down here in the Antipodes though.

Couldn't honestly pin it down to one film. There are several I think are amazing.

Not me, but half of my theater walked out of Uncut Gems. It still confuses me to this day because that movie was not only wild (I fell out of my seat at the end scene) but one of my favorites of the year.
