RATATOUILLE
In the movie Ratatouille, a rat loves to cook. This rat is discriminated against because he is just seen as an animal, and animals are not supposed to be able to cook. Throughout the movie, the rat, named Remy, becomes friends with a cook in the famous restaurant Gusteau's. It is through this outlet that Remy becomes the cook that he has desired to be, despite any and all adversity.
In this movie, food is an outlet for a passion to be expressed. Food in Ratatouille creates a divide among characters, yet it is the common theme that brings unity among all of the characters. Food is communicating to Remy that if he has enough passion, he can do anything, more specifically, cook in Gusteau's restaurant. Even though Remy is a rat, he identifies more with the people who are chefs. He wants to be creative with his food and not just eat the trash that the rest of the rats in his clan eats. Remy does not let low accessibility stop him from wanting to create food and cook it. This shows that convenience is not a factor when it comes to creating food. Remy does not take the easy path towards creating food. He takes the difficult route, and even put himself in life threatening situations in order to obtain food so that he can cook something delicious.
