I went to watch the highly-anticipated animation movie, Ratatouille, this morning and I find it really entertaining and enjoyable. Definitely deserving a four-star rating if you ask me.
It's not just because the appetizer of the movie was about the uneasy alliance of between a talented rat and an untalented man, but it was also well-seasoned with side-dishes of all sorts, such as carefully-paced action sequences from the rat-infested sewers to the dangerously busy streets of Paris to the exciting and buzzing kitchens of Paris. Garnished with a pinch of romance and adequately spiced up by a plot line of trust, betrayal and power struggle, the movie managed to provide the appealing main course of passion and determination to follow one's dream and being eventually rewarded with the delicious dessert of respect from disbelievers and a sense of fulfilment for oneself. To put it simply - bon appetite.
We have heard about all those motivational talks, tapes, seminars and books about following one's dreams but how many of us have the actual courage to step out of our comfort zones and challenge our perceived situations of reality? Change requires courage, necessitates sacrifice, most likely involves risks, entails the possibilities of dangers and failures but rewards with the unparalleled sense of achievement and self-fulfilment. So when will we ever be ready to change?
