This was a great documentary ????
DreamingOfDistantShores
I keep hoping I'll find something I'm passionate about. Still hoping. Still... hoping...

I'm doing this in my own way. It's just not making me any money, but i'll never stop

Loved this documentary. Got excited when I found it on Netflix. For a movie about just making sushi it's truly interesting and insightful.

Ah. Time to pick up sushi making, I guess.

Having that kind of passion must be great. I mean, I have it too, but it changes topic every other day.

God it really doesn't matter what it is, it's just awesome to hear about someone's passion
PrincessNakedMoleRat
I've watched this movie at least 3 times. Its fantastic.
blackbaron
Watch David Gelb work makes me passionate about something I'll never remotely think of doing. Chef's Table is another masterpiece
amsterdamsterdam
That's how I found this - I was desperate for more of his work after finishing chefs table s1 before s2 came out and stumbled on this gem
Imherefortheanimalpics
And I love pasta.
SuntJack
such a passion for uncooked stuff.. remarkable
ILikethBigButtocksHenceICannotForswear
I wish i had something like that
boogersweretasty
I think I saw this documentary. Awesome dedication
joeinfro
i thought the first picture was a dab of mayonnaise on a smartphone and was so confused

It's no Juan Likes Rice and Chicken but fine.
MFDork
The magic of that episode is that after about 5 minutes I started rooting for Juan as if he were real.
intenseboat
I cried at the end for real.
BigFatUglyBugFaceBabyEatingOBrien
That episode had me in tears, I was laughing so hard.
Bludclotjungletechno
either he's really stupid or an awesome chef thats very anal about everything. putting fish on top of rice doesnt seem so complicated

If you live in New York, you can enjoy his Sushi. One of his apprenices opened a sushi place last year in NY.
browniesftw
...what part of ny? the place is huge

Guess I'll just keep on being a massive wanker then.

$2000 for lunch at that small resturant.

This attitude is not at all rare in Japan.
ThousandsOfDeadlySeaSnakes
But I don't love ANYTHING.

This is perfect find indian parents to adopt you and they will turn you into a wealthy doctor and arrange your marriage to a wealthy lawyer
Phyrie
You seem to love your love of nothing!
SalmonSushee
You should love sushi dude
ThousandsOfDeadlySeaSnakes
I do. Think he'd pay me to do him for the rest of my life? Hahaha
nopantstank
Dang thats sad
ThousandsOfDeadlySeaSnakes
Thanks.

This movie made me crave sushi like a motherfucker. Also a more fun documentary than the elmo one.
HickoryDickoryDoc
my greatest regret was living in Japan and not trying his sushi, or at least his sons since Jiro's place is very tough to get into
UnderstandsAnimeBetterThanLife
*gasps* what a missed opportunity! Go back! Go back now! But seriously though, eating their sushi is on my bucket list.
Yamaroni
The word has it that Jiro is quite racist. Might have a better time overall in his son's restaurant.
SirBrendan
It may have something to do with a single plate costing several hundred dollars and reservations typically being over a year in wait.
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
I would get along with this man. I love eating sushi.
aPOTcalypseNow
keep trying to improve on not loving/doing anything <3

I see that you are responding to the commenter, but accidentally posted a fresh comment not in that thread. It's okay though :)
aPOTcalypseNow
I only expected this to get a few points/comments :)
bellaluna
That's cool, but it also doesn't look like... difficult or complicated. The two examples shown here. Am I not understanding sushi?
glamdringwielder
I mean, japanese people are notorious for OCD levels of perfectionism.
psycin
2 is just a straight line; 3 or more to understand the curve ;) Also, the documentary is a meditation on life itself, sushi is mere metaphor
Phyrie
I took a weekend class on sushi when in culinary school. These guys make it look easy. It took us all day to manage a California roll.
Phyrie
We weren't even allowed to make the rice because the technique of it would have taken too long to teach. That's what mastery is all about :D
BronzeLeaguePro
It's not hard to make the rice. It just takes some time and empathy.
WorstShotEver
I think you might be misunderstanding sushi. Watch the movie. Its great.
abradolflinclersrevenge
I know this is kind of an appeal to authority, but the dude has three Michelin stars, which they don't hand out for easy.
bellaluna
They should have used some seriously impressive looking sushi as examples instead of literally the most simply constructed. It's AESTHETICS!
abradolflinclersrevenge
I'm not sure that I saw anything that was more complicated than that in final appearance. It's all about flavour.
abradolflinclersrevenge
Yeah - please don't take that as me claiming to have eaten there. Just repeating from the film.
bellaluna
I feel like everyone is misunderstanding me. I don't doubt his skill, I'm just saying putting a piece of fish on a wad of rice looks simple.
abradolflinclersrevenge
The final output looks simple, but apparently the flavour is ridiculously good and they do all kinds of mad background work to get it good.
bellaluna
Ok that makes much more sense. Thanks
shadolance
This calls for a shoukugeki

If it means I can watch the shows I like, you're damn straight.

*Insert 'I got that reference" meme here*

bless you
MistahJ
I'd actually love to see that. The young, loudmouth student talks all episode about what they're doing, while the old man quietly makes
MistahJ
his sushi. No need to brag when you know you're good.
Lilly64
That was something I really liked about Shoukugeki, the adults were always better, they'd completed training the cast only just started
justanotherbill
This man has such a passion for sushi. Awesome movie.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Only if he put that passion and dedication to something truly important, like the perfect burrito
Krakencrotch
I get the joke, but it's a bad joke.
Stonebutts
*Rawesome movie
justanotherbill
You have my upvote
CloudberryMoose
I have his passion for sushi... Though for me it's eating it.
Mechlai
man. I love my craft, but I still think of it as work, so I've never moved on from being mediocre. Have a job though :P
SalmonSushee
I feel like I missed something
TheRealFireFrenzy
the only way to describe the images of sushi is "pornographic"
ItsBigNoMatterWhatSheSays
In this movie he also admitted to pretty much ignoring his family to perfect sushi so........priorities I guess
ZebraCockSandwich
yeah, and that he discouraged his sons from having families in order to continue doing sushi. He's an amazing guy but we all have flaws.
TheTimesTheyAreAChangin
He amazing and a true role model... Oh... Nope NM, he's a shit father. That cancels out my respect, so you're POS that makes great sushi.
Laeryc
Its the culture they find it better to only say hi once and awhile but be happy and challenged by work. I respect the dedication.
TheTimesTheyAreAChangin
"Work Sets You Free" - Auschwitz. So would you say Japan's culture still has close ties to the Nazis? Manipulating prisoners & children...
Laeryc
I dont know but i know alot of near psychosis levels of dedication to ones craft is long standing in japanese culture from the Katana to now
Laeryc
They have Suntory distillary which puts out amazing scotch i know i know not scotish fuck that this is scotch not wwwwiiiiiiski
