Someone who believes anyone and in Remy’s case anything can cook which is Remy’s dream. It is clear Gusteau is not just a chef to Remy but a mentor.
RATATOUILLE MOVIE CRITIC HOW TO
Remy is such a fan of Gusteau he has learned how to read and lives a mystery life in an old ladies kitchen. We learn early on that Remy loves a chef named Gusteau who runs a popular eatery in Paris and has a cookbook called “Anyone Can Cook”. It reminds me of Ariel looking at the humans and saying “how can a world that makes such wonderful things be bad?”. He says in the opening he admires humans because they “don’t just survive.

His brother Emile doesn’t get it but let’s his weird brother be himself.īut it’s extremely foolish to assume Remy’s desires are all about food. His father Django is head of the pack and doesn’t understand his son. To start out Ratatouille we hear Remy voiced by the perfect Patton Oswalt explain his predicament.

Who can blame him for that? (And they do explain why he walks on 2 feet instead of 4 which was very clever design-wise for the character). Actually at the entrance his goals are much more modest- he just doesn’t want to eat garbage any more. He’s a rat and yet all he wants to do is be a chef. So is the case with our lead character, Remy the rat. Someone feeling like the world they were born into isn’t the right one for them and they don’t know what to do. Ratatouille is another movie I love about someone being uncomfortable in their own skin. I’m sure I will have a similar struggle with Wall-e as they both are more than the sum of their parts. This Ratatouille review has been particularly difficult as it is such a gentle, lovely movie I have a hard time capturing why I love it. It’s why I was hesitant to do it in the first place. That’s the struggle I’ve had with nearly all these Pixar movies. It’s always tough to write about a movie you really love.
