It’s very rare that I get to treat my little sister out for movies and food and shopping. Because it involves planning and budgeting haha. I love treating her out, and I tend to overspend.
I’m lucky to have a sister like her– smart, loving and laughs at my cheesy jokes. I guess it’s really so easy to fall in love with her. I’m actually afraid when the time comes that boys come-a-courting. They will have to go though me first.
Hold on. My dad first, then me. LOL.
So seeing this opportunity of quality time out with my sister, I jumped at the chance that we’d watch Ratatouille together once it comes out. We’re both huge Pixar fans, and this will be a great time to share.
The Movie Date
Ratatouille turned out to be a perfect movie to watch together. It’s a great movie– an ambitious concept, a great story line, and wonderful characters you can relate to. And the ending is not your typical children’s book ending, as typical of all the Pixar movies (I can’t say much about Cars though, as I have yet to see it, so don’t take my opinion as a general– well, opinion).
The concept of a rat in the kitchen– cooking food!– is actually ambitious concept since, how will you be able to make your audience relate to a creature we are so used to shriek at/ run from/ kill1 when seen? In the kitchen at that, cooking food!2 But Brad Bird, the same writer and director for The Incredibles (another Pixar fave, and Oscar winner at that)3
And the running moral of the story is of profound truth: True, not anyone can do anything, but if you have the talent and the will, your nurture and environment shouldn’t hold you down.
Anyone remotely interested should watch this movie. It’s a wonderful movie young and old people will love and relate to. The batch of audience we were with today were clapping when the movie ended (we joined of course).
