If you ever wanted to see a real life man-version of a Cinderella story, where he doesn't cop out by wishing really hard to marry a princess, this documentary is for you. Learning all of the intricacies of making O-toro, Jiro Dreams of Sushi details the art of honing the craft of sushi (after practicing for 60 years). Though there is gratuitous footage of perfect pieces of sushi, this film allows you to extrapolate to see what pursuing your passion looks like after all is said and done. This relentless journey obviously creates some tradeoffs... such as a terrible family life and enormous pressure on yourself and your children to succeed you. However, Jiro is a compelling look into what you can do with your life with focus and a never ending desire to better yourself. Verdict: Check it out (totally worth the trip to your local indie theater)
