Ratatouille-creating life

It has been a month since Ratatouille, and finally decided to write something for it before the Year of the Rat.

There are only three characters worth watching in this story: Remy the mouse, Iger the critic, Remy and Linquini (yes, they are both together).

The protagonist Remy, a mouse with a talent for cooking and a heart higher than the sky, said that it was American dream or it was lucky, and it is left to you to see for yourself-a thousand viewers will have a thousand Hamlet. However, I think that the movie is not or not just as simple as the American Dream, and the theme is not just as simple as "anybody can cook".

When I saw Remy command Lin Quini to cook, I sat up straight and turned to the screen: Friends who have seen Xiao Dianjian should remember this classic story structure-from "The Puppet Master Zukan" to "The Soul of the Game" and then In "Death Note", A uses B's image or body to act.
This relationship between the two parties seems to be a win-win situation. A is satisfied, and it also brings honor and benefits to B; however, A (youjin/zowei) results in leaving-fundamentally, about no one can stand being manipulated and controlled by others. Success in my own name seems to be stolen, and my own gap also forces self-esteem not to be allowed, even if it is based on friendship in good faith.
I began to respect Pixar and Disney: this kind of relationship between the two people is entangled, and it is no longer an animation for children (the complete break of Xiao Dianjian condenses too many things that are not suitable for children). To deal with the ambivalence that is bound to intensify, it is rare for me to correct my attitude and watch it.

Then another character worthy of our money to enter the theater appeared-the critic Iger.
Very often, the work of critics is simple, our risk is small, and we also enjoy the lofty attitude of being able to comment on chefs and their cooking skills at will. We criticize arbitrarily, do whatever we want, and sensationalize, but we have to The fact is that in many cases, even ordinary junk food is more meaningful than our criticism of it.
You can find the English original text and translations of many versions on the Internet. I don’t want to say anything more here, just to express my respect for the same commentator: Iger gave up after discovering that Remy, a little mouse, made a direct dish for him. After the sharp comments in the past, he chose to enjoy the food as a commoner-he is a critic who really understands food. The previous criticism was only due to the deep love and responsibility. How did a stew dish conquer the foodie? Because of the taste of childhood, the mother’s smile penetrated the heart of the harsh French gentleman. At that moment, he was a child under the bright sunshine in the afternoon, and the time was so long-he realized it, so he let go of the past and enjoy the food.
As I wait, the real textual comments are actually powerless: we enter the grand world, probe our heads, are shocked and moved, stop for a long time, empathize with each other, write "come here", and return with joy-at most we offer laurel crowns As a show of respect, the world was silent, and countless passers-by saw their kingdom of heaven.

To be happy, I almost cheered when Lin Quinni introduced Remy to Iger: He admitted the genius behind him in front of all the cooks, and it was time for the genius to come to the front — at least, let the little mouse Get the honor and praise, the food made for it, and the wonderful world it gives people.
The fairy tale did not happen. Lin Quini’s restaurant was closed on the grounds that sanitation was unqualified-but wait a minute, look at the small restaurant, it was pleasant and warm-the mice were gathering "legally" on the roof, Lin Quini Gaining love and happiness, Iger turned his head and looked at Remy: "Surprise me!" The little mouse wore a chef's hat and made the best stew dishes for the diners who admired it... The lens is elongated, Remy's portrait Printed on the shop sign, behind it is a whole lot of lights in Paris.
The perfect final chapter, without all the misfortunes I worry about, everyone has their own way but everyone has not lost the most important things-trust, love, respect.
Disney and Pixar have been criticized for their simple and childish plots, but Hayao Miyazaki’s faint sadness and reality lack such a meaningful reunion: the same expression of love, the warmth of Ratatouille reaches the hearts of the people and tells us that life has it. The strong and bright colors of the elders are not narrative, but bearable.

Sadness in front of the splendor of life is also mediocre. Compared with time, lamentation and sadness are not worth mentioning. At the end of the Ratatouille movie, Pixar’s 2D graphics are commendable~ the perfect color-matched and concise graphics, as well as the vast vitality emerging, as if to tell the world: what we are writing is life itself, vibrant and continuous Endless.

Ratatouille quotes

  • Mustafa: [taking Ego's order] Do you know what you'd like this evening, sir?

    Anton Ego: Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?

    Mustafa: With what, sir?

    Anton Ego: Perspective. Fresh out, I take it?

    Mustafa: I am, uh...

    Anton Ego: Very well. Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this BLOODY TOWN, I'll make you a deal. You provide the food, I'll provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947.

    Mustafa: I'm afraid... your dinner selection?

    Anton Ego: [stands up angrily] Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me. Tell him to hit me with his best SHOT.

    Emile: Too late.
