Going back to roots of my cooking experiences I wonder how fascinating was the time when I was just a kid siting on the kitchen table while my aunt and grandma cooking and watching them cook. Cutting - chopping - washing - heating oil to the right temperature and measure it by cracking of mustered seeds - frying onions and potatoes - adding spices - coriander (cilantro) to garnish. All these things caught my attention when I was young just as Chef' Gusteau's show does the magic on Remy the rat - our hero of the story.
Ratatouille (rat.a.too.ee) is the movie about a rat who is captivated by the magic of cooking and is always doing different experiments for improving the taste and smell. In the initial sequence, in one experiment, for lightning touch he actually uses lightning to cook the cheese. Humor aside but it fortifies his passion about food and cooking. After separation from his family he lands in Gusteau's kitchen where his subordinates are trying to save the sinking ship after his tragic death. Remy befriends with the Linguini and uses him as his pupate to create crowd favorite dish. A dreaded critic Anton Ego visit's the restaurant and Remy serves him Ratatouille which takes him to his mom's kitchen from childhood and astonishes him. After meeting the "little chef" Anton writes his review and praises Remy.
The plot is simple with many more complexities with visual fair experiencing romantic Paris and French food. But the most important message this movie gives "it doesn't matter where are you coming from - you can still be a great artist - if you have the right passion!" . It also tells you to be yourself and not to worry about all the odds coming between you and your mission. Director Brad Bird makes it very clear from his narration and tells you even a small rat can be the finest chef in Paris if he follows his passion. I like this movie because of it's message and also portrayal of great dishes!! I would really suggest if you want to spend some good time - watch this movie - you will definitely have fun!!
Enjoy!!
