Ratatouille

Even though this blog is supposed to be about romance, comedy, horror, and action; I decided to do one last movie and chose Ratatouille. Ratatouille is about a little rat that likes to cook. That is not the only point in the movie though. Through out the movie there are references to lessens that should be learned. For example, in one of the first scenes Remy steals from the old lady. Yet, once he sees Gusteau's figment it tells him not to steal. This theme is repeated through the whole film. Another not noticeable theme to the movie, at least not to little children, is Antone "Ego's" last name "Ego." This is shown because he was the restaurant reviewer and thought he was the top. At the end though he changes to the nice guy and his name does not fit him well.

As for class Linguini, Remy's caretaker, is shown as a poorer person in his little tiny apartment. Yet once he gets to own the restaurant he gets a fancy apartment with a beautiful view of the Eifel Tower. Gender is shown through the kitchen because there is only one woman in the entire kitchen so it is a male dominant movie I guess you could say. Even though it is animation and shown as a kids movie I think everyone should see it because animation has come a long way since I was a kid starting with Toy Story. Pixar has done a lot to make kids movies more enjoyable for older generations.
