Listenig report -Ratatouille-

07/20/07

1.Main idea:
This story is about a rat named Remy who wants to become a great French chef.
He had fine sense of smell and keen palate so he can distinguish between safe food and toxic it, and cook. One day, when he tried to steal some food, he saw TV. One of French chef named Gusteau told, “Every one can cook”. So he was impressed about his word, and he also stole a book that chef wrote from human’s house. However, he was found by landlord. She aimed to shot him. Finally, he could get the book and escape her house, but he strayed from his family and companions.
Remy went to Paris. He could talk with ghost of Gusteau, and had a chance to cook in his restaurant. One garbage boy named Linguini was making horrible soup, so Remy couldn’t help helping him. Remy made a soup instead of Linguini. This soup was recognized. After that, Linguini and Remy had relationship.
In addition, Linguini was proved Gusteau’s son, and then he became management.
Reny could control Linguini’s action by moving his hair. Their cooperation could make delicious dishes. One day, the most famous critic named Ego came to his restaurant. But prior management who hated Linguini caught Remy. So Remy couldn’t go his restaurant that time. Linguini couldn’t make dishes without Remy. At the time, Remy’s family tried to help Remy, and he could escape and go his restaurant. Linguini told the truth that Remy had been cooked dishes. When other chef heard, they were disagreeably surprised and left his restaurant. Remy and Remy’s companions had been seeing bad happening so they decided to cook instead of them, did. And then, Remy cooked ratatouille for Ego. This dish moved him.
Linguini had to move his restaurant because a health center man saw many mice in his restaurant. He succeeded new restaurant with Remy.

2. Interested point
I was interested in this story. Also, I was impressed their relationship between Remy and Linguini. Actually, if mice made dishes, I would not want eat it. But, I want to eat it because the dishes that Remy cooked looked very delicious.
This animation was wonderful, rhythmical and fantastic. I want to see again.

I want to see the movie again too!!!! I really liked the kitchen scenes, especially since I spent a number of years as a cook.

Again, concentrate more on your reactions than just the summary.
