Yesterday, I watched Ratatouille with Licorne and we just laughed throughout the movie. Majority of the audience in the moviehouse did. Really, Pixar animation just does a great job of creating feel-good movies I almost always end up watching their creation on the big screen. I think this is a replacement of Disney animated movies I used to expect every year as a child.
Ratatouille tells the story of a rat having the impossible dream to be a chef in a high-end restaurant. He is the complete opposite of what rats are particularly known of. He does not want to get his hands dirty, he craves for ‘exquisite taste’ and not garbage, he has the dream of making everyone realize that he can be a somebody despite society’s perception on his race of ‘filthy rodents’.
He became friends with a human named Linguini, who wants to learn how to cook but lacks the inspiration and talent. Together, they came up with a system to create ‘exquisite cuisine’ that became known in Paris. As any movie, there will always be tribulations between humans and rodents that main characters will have to deal with. But in the end, friendship and family is the key to a fulfilling life and only a dream can spur someone to reach their ultimae goal.
Of course, after watching the movie, me and Licorne just had to eat something after seeing all that food. Well, at least, I HAD TO EAT. LOL
I realy like one main point in the movie though. It doesn’t matter if not all could cook cuisine. What is important is everybody is given the chance to do what they want to do. And as a focal character in the movie, Chef Gustav, stated in this popular book, “Anybody can cook”. Thus, anybody can do anything.
For me, that line meant a lot.
