Ratatouille (Rat-a-too-eee) C’est Magnifique

‘Ratatouille’ – the movie is a surprise treat not only for food connoisseurs but for the entire bourgeoisie, the aristocrats, and the critics clan of the cinema world, but most importantly for my type of movie goers – Insanely-tired-from-work-need-break-on-a-Friday-night-and-what-have-you.

This movie offers superlative graphics, unmatched comic timing and an entertainingly uncanny plot about a rat who wants to become a famous chef in Paris despite familial pressures and an obvious problem of genetics - of being a rodent in the human world.

All of Brad Bird’s movies advocate the underlying counsel that 'everyone is special', and as the great chef Gusteau in the movie rightly says, “Anyone can cook”. This is quite appealing as it relates to clichés we have been hearing since our childhood– “believe in yourself’, “passion and hard work lights the way”, “trust your instincts”, and “bla-bla-bla”. Even if one doesn’t get teary-eyed and nostalgic on the times they have given up on themselves, the comic flow of this movie ensures that you are having a good time laughing at the gestures and consistently amusing misfortunes of the human character of Linguini.

Pixar does it again – and better. It is safe to proclaim that this movie outdoes their last vennture 'Cars' just as how Iphone is outpasssing every mobile mp3 player techonology available – by offering a complete package of visual delight of insane proportion.

If one gets past beyond the funny pronunciation of the name of the movie, I think this movie on significance on believing in one's self and cooking 'gourmet' food did what no movie has me feel before – Hungry for more!!!
