I saw this movie, “Remy no oishi restaurant” in Japanese.
A young French rat named Remy lives with his family and group of rats. Remy has a special gift for testing and smelling that can detect fresh foods as well as rat poisons, and so his father wants him to work as a poison checker for his rat clan. Remy, however, dreams of becoming a great chef like a famous Paris chef, Gusteau who owns a 5 star restaurant and has written a book named "Anyone Can Cook" that has inspired Remy. But the only problem is that he is a rat, which is hard to live in the human world.
The story sounds like very simple, but the plot is very original and not clichéd at all. Remy accidentally comes upon the Gueseau's restaurant that was downgraded from 5 stars to 3 stars, after his idle Gusteau died. His amazing culinary intuition to combine all the ingredients in foods helps a goofy-looking yet wannabe-chef named Linguini who works as a garbage boy there. The irony is that the human Linguini has no talent to cook, and the rat Remy does. The twosome what team up to become the greatest chef in Paris and to restore the restaurant that was once a hot-spot.
The bottom line on this film is that it has a great message. It teaches us a life lesson that “anyone can do anything if they follow their passion.”Remy bravely follows Gusteau’s motto, “Anyone can cook,” while having trouble in the human world where most of us hate rats, especially in a kitchen. The best line comes from Remy, when his dad who wants Remy to return to the lifestyle of a rat because he distrusts humans says “You can't change nature.” Remy says, “No, change is nature.” A rat is a rat. This is a nature that we can’t change in this universe; but we can change our own destiny. Do you think Remy will give up his dream of becoming a great chef?
“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere”
The last line you can hear at the end of the film from Ego, a dreaded food critic in Paris will leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling.
