AT Bear, available on Disney+, much of the controversy takes place in the small kitchen of a restaurant on the brink of bankruptcy. In fact, the show has a violent vitality based on that very idea. Everything happens for a while, in an endless battle of small and large obstacles.
From food that needs to be prepared without enough time, to plates falling on the floor and quiet discussions. In the heat of the furnace and between an almost suffocating sense of urgency, the stories become more and more human.more real, more moving.
main merit Bear is to create the feeling that every great story begins with a personal experience. In addition, outwardly independent, he goes through several lives at once, unnoticed by himself. A version of reality intertwined with emotion that the series uses with taste and solidity.
Bear: a story that boils
In this case, in the center of everything that happens, with a disorder of orders and an obsessive sense of catastrophe, is the fact of death. Carmi (Jeremy Allen White) An award-winning chef must give up his career and aspirations due to his brother’s suicide. Michael (Jon Bernthal). A tragic event that not only brought the family restaurant to the brink of closure. And also to all those who worked next to the deceased in obscurity.
The character knows that he has obligations to Michael’s property, and that is what he focuses on as best he can. Bear suggests bewilderment, longing and urgency from a new perception. For Carmi, who only allows herself to remember her absent brother at certain points in time, keeping The Original Beef of Chicagoland from closing is a priority. But the shadow of longing for loss is hidden and inevitable. At the same time, the notion of absence has become a fact to be endured as best it can.
Time and time again, Carmi suggests that it is her duty to Michael’s memory to keep the place open. The underlying belief is that this is the only way you have—or the only way you have—to honor him. Bear She does not forget that pain is a hidden circumstance, but she does not want to show her darkest corners in a simple way.
Orders, succulent dishes and sensibility
The series does not develop its plot from drama or melancholy. Even, avoid common places of suffering and mourning. AT Bear, the goal is for the kitchen to be a functional and efficient profit center. Complicated business where Michael kept the rhythm of the place with a dirty and aimless joy, very different from Carmi’s sophisticated order. Between the lines, however, the script moves into harsh climes about will, love, and hope.
At the same time, ambition and the need to continue and maintain the concept of a common goal stand in the background. Karmi is hurt and confused by his brother’s death. But beneath this seemingly utilitarian perception lies a real connection that reminds him of suffering.
The plot recreates the character’s inner world through the kitchen. Amidst the clatter of crockery to be sorted out and the friction between staff who refuse to keep up. For his third chapter, Bear shows that his plot audacity is strong and no doubt a rarity in the current series. Each character has a certain weight, even minor, seemingly insignificant.
As if that wasn’t enough, one thing is clear. Behind the kitchen door, Carmi’s new discipline and her need for order, there is a story to be told. One of them was about how family ties connect the past and the future, in order to finally understand one’s identity through both of them.
The path to victory Bear
One of the great achievements Bear it’s the sense of frenetic realism it brings to your story. The series gives an impression of the amazing vitality of its characters and work, which is often idealized in film and television.
But in production, the weight of everyday life is important. As well as all its small nuances. Falling crockery, pots shaking over the flames, the strain of doing a certain duty.
Nonetheless, Bear it’s not just that. At the same time, it is a journey that lies behind the way we face pain. Even those wounds that seem insurmountable, and sometimes so overwhelming that you try to ignore them by any means at hand.
