I just saw this movie 2 months ago, and until now, it still gives me the same feeling whenever I think about it. Clearly, this is an animated film, but unlike others, it is not only for children, but also for grown-ups like us. And, this is not only a film about a mouse who loves cooking, it is a story about a character trying to overcome all difficulties and obstacles to achieve his dreams. Maybe it's a little bit too imaginary, but it's an animated one, so that's OK. I think this is an important film, especially nowadays, when we have started to forget how to love, how to pursue our dreams and how to treasure every moment. This, Ratatouille, is not only a short-timed pastime, but leaves us deep thinking that may lead to a more positive way of life.

I read the novel first, and then watched the movie. Honestly, the on-screen version of the novel is a little bit too fast - everything happens one right after another. The plot seems to be shortened a lot, and it gives me the idea that things in the film didn't go on like they do in real life. You know, too cursory, too hasty, I was really surprised how they could do so or how they could think so in such a short time. You now, like quicksilver! However, the actors' actings are really good! Keira really shows everybody that she is indeed a talent, with all the crying and smiling and thinking just like one lively Elizabeth. Moreover, I especially like the actor who stars Mr.Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen). He is not as arrogant as in the story, but somewhat causes my sympathy and affinity towards him. He is really good beside Keira too. They make a really good couple. After all, this movie deserves its numerous nominations for the Oscar. By the way, I really love the accent! So cool! I always love English-accent speaking movies!
