"This is me. I think it's apparent that I need to rethink my life a little bit. What's my problem? First of all, I'm a rat. Which means, life is hard. Second, I have a highly developed sense of taste and smell."
Remy
Ratatouille
2007
The art of culinary skill. The smell of wonder cooking in the kitchen. The love of a talent to satisfy the palates of those we love. It becomes more and more poignant to smell aromas and taste greatness when one is driven to dream and dreams become a reality.
Think about this concept for a minute. Doesn't food taste better when in love? Doesn't a glass of wine or a cold beer just satisfy your quench for thirst when in love? Doesn't the dream of ones desires make one crave a specific flavor of life?
Ratatouille was not only a film for the youngsters, it was a film for grownups too!
I think of the underdog in this situation. The one that wants to bad to find success and gratification for talents endured, that their dream often becomes bigger than their own reality. I think of the candidate that finds nomination in success and trials of tribulations. I think of the distressed, that overcome objection with intrigue and follow through.
When ones life allows dreams, and ones life takes on challenges, who decided the protocol or standard by which one should continue to enact?
Is life hard? Is Remy's character spot on?
I would agree that hard most importantly correlates with complex and full of challenges, but, life.... that is just like a cookbook. Full of flavor, tastes, new creations for old classics, measurements of ones caliber, and of course broken down by categories of sweet, and spice.
I think, hmmm, what section of a cookbook do I belong in? Is it the appetizers? Where each thing I do is a mini creation of the big picture? Am I the entree, full of sides and sauce and spice? Or am I the dessert? Wanting to be sweet and satisfied?
Not only is life its own recipe of different tastes and ingredients, life is a plethora of dreams and reality, yet, sometimes... the reality is too much salt and pepper, and the dreams are like big eyes with a small stomach.
Yet, for me... I cannot pass on dessert. I'd have appetizers all day, and of course you can't get away from a good steak.
Bon Appetit'... dream and cook, desire to create, and live in the flavor of your own spice.
