Ratatouille (2007) is an animation film that I love because of its unique theme. The film is about a rat Remy, who has a sense of smell and taste and aspires to become a chef. But since he is a rat he cannot achieve his dream. One day he comes across the famous Chef Gusteau’s restaurant whose only motto in life is “anyone can cook”.
It is a well-known fact that French people are very
possessive about their food, cuisines and techniques, and everything related to
food. They believe it is an art that only special people or a few people can
achieve or master. But Chef Gusteau stresses the point that anyone can cook.
The film is about the journey of Remy and Linguini. It is an
enjoyable, humorous film that brings out a potpourri of emotions. According to
the film, it is not a rule that a person has to be what his lineage is. For
example, Linguini’s father is a well-known three star chef but he can't cook at
all, whereas Remy is a rat who can cook wonders all he has to do is believe in
himself. So I feel that it applies to every human being that we need not be
typecast in the role due to our lineage or society we need to believe in
ourselves and be what we want to do and not because the society wants or our
family wants but what we want to do, what we like to do is important than
anything else.
We need not be typecast in any role or occupation just because we belong to that family or caste or creed. It isn't a rule that a politician’s son has to be a top politician or an actor/actress's offspring has to surpass their parents in the same profession. What is your opinion about it?

Another interesting movie. I watched it again with my daughter a few months ago. I agree that one must follow the heart and not pick a profession because of the lineage. I have always been impressed by Riteish Deshmukh who pursued acting instead of politics that seemed like an obvious choice for him.

This is such a good film and yet my eldest was scared by it back in the day.

I never saw this movie properly ! The message is great. Yes we should never be type cast based on our lineage. I like your succinct review that highlights takeaways from movie

Initially, when I started watching the movie - I remember having a cringe moment - it was a rat after all. Not even a small mouse. But then as the movie moved along, the rat became so much more relatable or believable. Great message from the movie, very true. Currently, am reading Unfinished by Priyanka Chopra - and yes, a daring diversion taken in her case too coming from a family of army doctors and army men. Do what your heart desires, go after your dreams, just remember to give 100%

ReplyDeleteYep one cannot take up a career because the whole family is doing it
I love this movie!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute movie!! I'm visiting from A to Z!
ReplyDeleteI think this was one of those movies with the most wholesome plot line. It teaches you many valuable lessons as well. I think my biggest takeaway was, to not let society define my role in life.
ReplyDelete"What are you eating?"
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha.
I think this was a really fun movie. I still can't cook though.
