Anybody Can Cook

After watching Ratatouille

◎ about the movie

It’s a movie about a little rat Remy that tries to cook and finally succeeds. Remy is a young rat in the French countryside who arrives in Paris, only to find out that his cooking idol is dead. When he makes an unusual alliance with a restaurant's new garbage boy, the culinary and personal adventures begin despite Remy's family's skepticism and the rat-hating world of humans.

◎ about the animation

the animation is really superb and feels real, so I think the animation is really great.

◎ about the main idea

“Anybody can cook”, this is the main idea it gives us.

Actually I think most people may make a silly mistake, that think “Anybody can cook” as “Everybody can cook”. Somehow they re a little bit different, I think.

“Everybody can cook” means every person, or every living thing can cook. However “Anybody can cook” means any one can do it, not everyone- I mean, everyone maybe possibly can cook, but any one have the right to cook, and have the possibility to become a great cook. Oh I mean this is not only for cooking, and for everything of our dreams!

After watching Ratatouille, I think I get deeper in realizing one’s dreams. When we want to do something, we don’t have to be afraid that we can’t do it. We should just go ahead and try to do it. That’s just “Anybody can cook” shows us.

“Anybody can cook.” I’ll remember this in the rest of my life. Cus it’s not just a joke, but a really big motto on the attitude to our life.
