RATATOUILLE: A MOVIE REVIEW
Lemme get something straight folks, a Disney or a Pixar movie marathon was never my cup of tea, until I accidentally stumbled upon this movie and drank it in. And boy, did it changed my perspective forever!
There are many facets that go into movie making and nailing all those recipes for success is really hard to replicate on screen, but this Pixar movie really checked all the boxes. Be it humor, drama, adventure etc, the pieces of the cake was for every film goer out there to savor and enjoy.
Not to mention, its rave reviews did pique my interest and decided to give it a go. A rare gem as far as animated flicks go, the story line is very personified and quirky.
It deals with a rat(imbued with human emotions) who discovers his passion to cook good food and is thrown to the streets of France while attempting to raid an old lady's house with his family of rats.
All the good natured fun and banter alike, the family discover unity in the end of the movie when they find Remy the rat making a fortune in France as a chef, all while staying under the toupee of a simpleton named Linguini. The rat just happens upon a restaurant after making his way through the sewers and decides to spice things up. This is when the movie takes a very jovial turn and leads to series of rib-tickling humor for the entire family. We are introduced to the character of Linguini, a common garbage boy who makes his way to his father's hotel but is a terrible cook but after he jibes with the rat, the depth of their relationship grows stronger and he emerges as the next great chef.
The rat in this movie is no vermin, oh no as it delivers a sensational amount of emotions that are so relatable, refreshing and exhilarating that it makes the movie a very worthwhile watch. The scenes where the rats scurry on our fours or even twos is a stellar work of CGI. A downpour of feelings and lessons imparted through the movie really makes you think and also leaves you wanting for more.
It tugs at your heart strings with its cute characters, simplistic storytelling and the best voice acting .
Remy(voiced by Patton Oswald) is someone whom we just love to bits form the start to the end with each and every movement of his. From yanking at Linguini's hair(the guise he's adopted while cooking) to the dialogues exchanged between his fellow rodents are really a treat to the eyes.
The journey of a lowly rat whose life magically transforms after nearly attempting to defile the entire staff of chefs at the hotel to them placing their culinary faith in him to deliver is simply ethereal and mesmerizing.
The beauty of food is something that is hardly given any second thought or regard, but you will appreciate the intrinsic joy of the food that a rat has to offer. Believe me, it will leave tears of joy and you craving for just another taste. This gastronomical roller-coaster is something that I would board again and gain.
Give it a go and I assure you, it will leave your taste buds and palette tingling with joy...and hunger.
The joy of Pixar is undeniable and I tip my hat to you, Pixar and Disney.
Kudos.
