Simply, an inspiring story
5 April 2020
We all know Japanese is famous for their preserverance of their life. Many person doing the same thing repeatedly, yet they love it and die if they let themselves spacing from their job. Though it's probably always lean in the right side of the bell curve, Jiro Dreams of Sushi brings an extreme case of that, and what makes me feel inspired, also feel little bit of shame of myself.

The documentary is actually light in premise, but they manage to give us a storyline that covers both the technicals in the restaurants' principles and operations, yet still leaves some space an exposure to the human relations between a son and his father, an apprentince and the master, the life principles and current situations. While they describe their thing, the documentary is accompanied by classical music which gives us more depth to the art of sushi as a delicate way, that actually resembles like another jobs or things that we like.

A story to not become vulnerable, and know what you want to do, is really inspires me. Despite of many things happened, let it good or bad in our life, we just need to work it out until the end. Jiro embodies the principle perfectly and while we probably know that we can't do as extreme as that, but we should know that we can't make our success in a night. There is a way of preserverance and faith to keep trusting what we choose. Jiro Dreams of Sushi seems to rely more to the story of Jiro and his principle, but in the end the movie narrow it down to talk about the future of the restaturant. We can learn the movie as a behind-the-scene of a high profile restaurant, but more than that it's a way of life that so simple yet fascinating. A way to repeat the process with eagerness to keep improving itself, seems a way that sometimes forgotten in the vast and instant developed world.

P.S. I thought Jiro-san makes sushi because of he needs to survive? But I never quite get the idea about the journey that making him choose to be the sushi chef. Kinda lost but it's still very inspiring.
