Ratatouille : What Lesson Do We Learn

Watching the toons has always been pleasure. I was watching Ratatouille few days back and simply loved the movie. Must say the animation movies aren't just for kids. Ratatouille had a lot for the critics. My eagerness to know about what the critics felt for this movie brought some sweet & sour results. Though movie was fantastic but the controversial part was about Anton Ego – The critic in the movie.

Richard Corliss had a straight thing to say that "The subtle colors and textures of the food alone make Ratatouille a three-star Michelin evening."

In The New York Times, A.O. Scott views were :

A nearly flawless piece of popular art, as well as one of the most persuasive
portraits of an artist ever committed to film. It provides the kind of deep,
transporting pleasure, at once simple and sophisticated, that movies at their best have always promised.

Roger Ebert just stole my words, he says ;

"This is clearly one of the best of the year's films. Every time an animated film is
successful, you have to read all over again about how animation isn't "just for
children" but "for the whole family," and "even for adults going on their own." No
kidding!"

People ( The critics) admired the animation work, story, but when talking about the Ego's character, most of them disagree with him. Well according to me the movie had a nice script, nice use of words in the dialogues and simply superb quotes, especially of Anton Ego - The critic.

"In many ways the work of us as a critic is very easy. We risk very little. Yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in a grand scheme of things the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so

These last critic comments for the dish "Ratatouille" (cooked by Remy – The Rat) were spellbinding. Simply loved the critic at end. Yes! liked a character rarely liked by others.
