French cuisine in Ratatouille

Today I watched the cinema with my friends. I watched Ratatouille, an animation made by Pixar (with Walt Disney). My sister already watched the movie several days ago, and she recommended me to watch this, eventhough I’ll still go to watch this if she didn’t tell me.

The story is about a rat named Remy who has ‘sniffing’ talent. He could distinguish each ingridients used in a food, he doesn’t like to eat garbage, he like his paws to be clean and walk with 2 feet, and he loves to cook. After several ruckus happened, he got seperated from his family. And after talking with his imaginary late chef idol Gusteau, he finally decided to went up and looked around the city. He finally realized that he is indeed in Paris, and found Gusteau’s restaurant.

At first he just want to take a look from outside, but then he saw a new garbage boy named Alfredo Linguini, who is actually Gusteau’s son, messed up a soup. Remy couldn’t helped but made up something to fixed the soup but he was spotted by Linguini. Apparently the soup was liked by the guests, so Linguini must made another one under supervision by master chef Skinner. Desperated, Linguini made a deal with Remy. Linguini will act as Remy’s body so Remy could cook in the kitchen. From here, the story goes on with troubles that will test Linguini and Remy’s friendship.

Overall, I really liked Pixar’s animation. It’s beautiful as always. The character design is great, I really like Remy’s blue fur who differ him from other ‘ordinary’ rat. The story is, well… quite predictable, but it’s enjoyable. You can laugh a lot ^_^ but I don’t find any interesting songs during the movie. Mm… maybe I didn’t pay much attention.

Btw, talking about French cuisine, for my personal taste, I never like French cuisine. No ofence French people. It’s just because, for me, French cuisine is small in portion and too beautiful to be eaten. Not to say, the tools also too many, and for a full course you need at least 2 hours. For me, I prefer food that could make my stomach full and fast. So that would mean a plate of rice with it’s compliments such as meat, chicken, vegetables (eventhough I don’t like veggie >_<), etc. Hahahha… different in culture I guess. But I must say, I do love French passtries and bakery. Yes, I’m a bread lover ^_^. Okay, that’s enough talking about food XD You should watch this movie if you haven’t.
