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?
