Poveşti pentru copii cuMinţi

Ratatouille octombrie 2, 2008

Un film, o poveste, sau o poezie pentru copii, mi se pare cu atat mai izbutita cu cat autorul, pastrand elementele specifice basmului, reuseste sa nu se indeparteze prea mult de realitate.

Ratatouille este un film dragut, plin de pilde, bine realizat. Dar trebuie sa recunosc ca, vazand familia de sobolani in bucataria restaurantului, m-au trecut fiorii.

Fiind un film care vorbeste despre prietenie, familie, fair play, puterea de a lupta pentru ceea ce iti doresti in viata, si, nu in ultimul rand, despre toleranta, Remy- sobolanul bucatar, este, totusi, foarte bine ales.

Toate aceste trasaturi se educa in timp si, chiar daca viata are grija sa ne demonstreze ca nu traim intr-o lume fantastica, unde totul este posibil, e foarte bine sa ne educam copiii in acest spirit.

Mi-a placut in special personajul si monologul criticului culinar Anton Ego ( ce nume cu talc)

“In many ways, the work of a critic is 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 the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau’s famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.”
