Theme (s)

I think the main theme(s) of this movie is (are) … 2. The importance of family. 3. The pursuit of excellence and personal fulfillment. 4. The renewing power of creativity.
2. The importance of family. . . because … (a) As Gusteau’s son, only Linguini can continue the great tradition of his father. (b) Although he needs to separate from his family to express his real talent, Remy also needs his family’s help in the end.
3. The pursuit of excellence and personal fulfillment … because … … Remy can only be satisfied when he uses his talents to create great food.
4. The renewing power of creativity… because … …Gusteau’s restaurant is only restored to its 5 star position after Remy recreates, and therefore renews, the traditional recipe for ratatouille.
Why is it called Ratatouille? Ratatouille is a simple dish that is loved by the French. The dish is a symbol for Gusteau’s restaurant that is old and loved but has to be renewed by a new creative element. Remy doesn’t succeed by creating something new and ‘flashy’ but by recreating this old, beloved recipe, and in the process, recreates Gusteau’s reputation.
Why is it called Ratatouille? The word is also a word play referring to the main characters who are rats. (Rat – a –touille = a touille made by rats ? ? )
