Ratatouille (2007) : "A Sweet Irony Behind A Piece of Gourmet Art"

Live a black mouse named Remy (Oswalt) on a village outskirts. In a unique way, he introduced the life difficulties he had to face because of his zoological status. And of course, since it is different from mice in general, Remy has an advantage in the sense of taste and smell. And it makes him a very mice of food and a chef named Auguste Gusteau (Garret). This ability is of course underestimated, especially by the father who is the leader of the rat colony, Django (Dennehy). Because of this obsession that also led to chaos and separate Remy with colonies. In the midst of his depression and solitude, Remy who hallucinates by speaking to the spirit of Gusteau (or pigment of imagination more likely) is then led to the Gusteau restaurant.

Remy is excited and self-absorbed, then fixes the chaos created by Linguini (Romano) with the soup, which then instead creates a new mess. Linguini was later regarded as the chef by all the chefs in the restaurant Gusteau, especially by the rotissuer Colette (Garofalo). Linguini later worked with Remy, with Remy's reliable cooking skills and Linguini's appearance as a normal human, quickly reaching their peak, despite the suspicions of the chef de cuisine Skinner (Holm) and the challenge of the famous food critics Anton Ego (O'Toole ). Did Remy and Linguini trick everyone and defeat the cruel criticism of the Ego?

In the past, before watching this movie in 2008an, I include people who are still just suspicious with the premise. Because it is rare there is a film that lifts the world cooking professional cooking, moreover this is an animated film, with the main character of a mouse. Less ironic how to try, a black mouse that is identical to dirty and dirty can actually cook complicated dishes and beautiful. ala haute cuisine But this is Pixar, when a premise nyeleneh this made, the result of course not play games. Brad Bird, (The Incredible, Mission Imposible: Ghost Protocol) as the person in charge of directing and screening succeeds in creating an animated film that not only entertains, but also details on its various sides, and certainly touches, an incredible power always in every Pixar movie.

There are many reasons why Paris is chosen as the location of Ratatouille itself. The first because of the romantic element of the film itself, whether it's from the atmosphere that was from the beginning built up to the relationship Linguini-Collete. And of course, because Paris itself is known as the center of gourmet dish around the world. Yes, French Cuisine is a science of its own in the culinary world, and almost all the classical terms in the kitchen are indeed from French, such as the hierarchy of chefs in the kitchen and cooking terms like sautee, roux, fondue, mirepoix, etc. And may I say ... Paris never looked really Paris before. The beauty of Paris, from the city's panoramas, city lights, the Seine, to the famous Eiffel tower is described in such detail, and I even seem to be able to smell the air of Paris. It is so wonderful ....

In addition to taking the setting in Paris, there are many things to add to the authenticity of the world of gourmet cuisine in Paris. Such as the depiction of a Gusteau character who died after his dish was reviewed ugly and made him lose Michelin stars, it was based on Chef Bernard Louiseau who murdered himself when the media predicted his three-star restaurant La Cote d'Or descended to a two star. Or the name Alfredo Linguini which comes from the name of typical Italian cuisine. And especially from the title selection, stressing the word 'rat' and also a French dish from Nice and Provence, a vegetable stew dish from tomatoes, onions, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, garlic, marjoram, and basil. Ratatouille itself is a typical French rural dish, which Remy later cooked in the ultimate scene, as a simple dish as well as complex and complex (the one in a movie created by a gourmet chef named Thomas Keller).

One thing I really like about the movie is in Michael Giachinno's scoring music, which sounds so cheerful and very French-esque, accompanying the ups and downs of the storyline with the light pace. I seemed to be beside Remy, watching her cook a variety of elaborate dishes, and almost can smell the food itself.

And oh boy, all of the characters are quite lovable! From Remy's super-bodily and ironic, quirky, yet most normal-looking figure amongst other human characters, then there's the super-clunky Linguini character and the gestures of his body that invite a big laugh, and Collete completes the trio as a super bad woman and grumpy yet tough in the kitchen. On the side of the antagonist there is a comic Chef Skinner, whose body language, body size, until his behavior is inspired by Louis de Funes, a French comedy actor (1914-1983) and Anton Ego inspired by Louis Jouvet, French actor and director ( 1887-1951), both present to be very tough opponents for Remy-Linguini. And oh yes, Remy sister's character, Emile is more a trouble-maker!

So do not be surprised if then this Ratatouille then became one of the favorite movie of many people, especially me, from Pixar own. Overall the movie may be animated, but the beauty and details can not be underestimated and considered one eye. A fun movie watched with family, age-friendly, but not necessarily a 'childish' work. It's almost really perfect in every aspect, a very beautiful art. A beautiful story that is so persuasive, that i can even drooling for everything in it. And please, Pixar, I know you guys are being so addicted recently to making a sequel or a prequel of your famous stories, but for this one ... please, leave it alone, unless you really have a very strong script. Let it be alone and prefect and untouchable. I love it so much.

And above from all of the delicious food, behind the hot pot and fire in the kitchen, besides a sweet but ironic story about a rat who loves cooking, tucked a beautiful story, that not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere, sometimes world is just too cruel for them. Happy pursuing your beautiful dreams, the dream-catcher. This is a gift from an artist to every artist in the world. Only truly artist can be great.
