CptnChan Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Jiro Dreams of Sushi. (On Netlifx Instant watch) This is hands down, one of the most virtuous, non-apologetic, inspiring documentaries, I have ever watched. The man is so inspiring, and the things he says about succeeding in business can apply to anything, not just the culinary field. I got serious Roark and Rearden vibes listening to him talk. So awesome, just watch it. http://www.rottentom...reams_of_sushi/ Minor complaints: #1. There's a small part where he discusses the lower quantity of fish available, and mentions needing more regulations to prohibit over-fishing. Although his solution may be flawed, his concern for supply to his business is understandable. #2. It seems that he has kind of forced his sons to take over his legacy. At one point the son reveals he had dreams of an entirely different occupation. Although his sons have become masters of the sushi world, it's a little sad, since it seems they might have preferred a different occupation if it weren't for their father's influence. (Still, there's not enough evidence to prove this, it's just a sort of vibe I got) Edited September 24, 2012 by CptnChan mdegges 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oso Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) My brother and dad ate at the son's place on our recent trip to Japan. They said it was the best meal they had ever had. Edited September 24, 2012 by oso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian0918 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I saw this a couple months ago and agree, you definitely get the Roark vibe from this man's determination. His key idea is to always try to find room for improvement in every aspect of the business - make every day better than the last, even if only slightly. I would probably be terrified, though, to sit there eating sushi while he watches my every move.
