Remy's story is a story about food, a story about dream confirmation, and a story about self-realization.
We feel close to remy, is it because it is like us in life? It is like us or we are like it. We are small people, but we are all keen on exquisite and beautiful things, and we all have dreams that want to be different in our hearts, and we often hesitate to shrink in the face of the realistic setbacks of this dream. After all, breaking the tradition is always harder than following the expectations of society.
Remy who read the book "Anyone Can Cook" by the chef Gusteau is like us who received the impact of new ideas when we were reading. We agree with these brand-new ideas and are inspired by them, but at the same time they have not been truly internalized into our own thoughts through practice. It is precisely because of the distance between accepting a new idea and internalizing it that Brad Bird, the screenwriter and director of the film, set up the fantasy chef gusteau for Remy. This is not a science fiction myth. Think about ourselves. When facing setbacks or moral dilemmas, don’t we often have two voices in our heads talking or fighting?
How Remy has extraordinary cooking skills is not what the movie is about to focus on. What the film wants to convey is how a person (or a mouse) with talent and dreams should show their talents and how to gain social recognition. The society always holds high his stubborn prejudice, "it is always not friendly to talented newcomers, new creations, and new friends." But at the same time, the existence of prejudice does not mean the elimination of all possibilities, it is just that there are more solid obstacles in front of identification. Many people have stopped and flinched in the face of these obstacles erected by social prejudice. The reality is that we are in this society and we have to accept this kind of social prejudice. Accept it, and then find a way to overcome it. After all, prejudice is also derived from experience, and to overthrow it, countless little remy's success is required.
Watching this movie is not only encouraging, but also a pleasant visual feast. I really admire the imagination of the producers. We saw the unique scenery of the back kitchen in Paris, listened to French-style crappy English, watched the mouse family use paper clips as violin, watched the whole group of mice busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner... it was great!
Back to the food. What makes it so warm is that after the demanding food critics tasted Ratatouille, they felt that they had returned to their childhood, hungry, and the dishes their mother cooked. That is food full of love. This reminds me of the words that Little Master has always been talking about-food makes people happy.
