For the documentary to analyze, I chose Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The still from the movie is sushi that he created. It gives off a very minimalist vibe, which the documentary also presents itself as. The sushi is the manifestation of all of the work Jiro has accomplished over decades of preparing sushi. Some people comment on how doing the same for for so long would be stale. But it is not so; Jiro is a person of art, who understands there is no perfection but strives towards that concept. The simplicity of the sushi shows how the creator has been able to do so much using so little. It embodies a person who has truly mastered their craft and has passion to continue doing it for the rest of their life. The documentary was incredibly interesting, and although it may appear to focus on the culinary arts, it also depicts the family dynamics that occurs in the chefs life, and the challenges his son faces trying to live up to his father.
