Ratatouille

For reasons that will take some amount of time for me to passively figure out, Ratatouille, which I saw with [livejournal.com profile] classicaljunkie at the Boston Common multiplex last night, was such an elemental force of a movie that it left tears running down my face through most of its running time. The last time I reacted to a film this way was when I saw The Fellowship of the Ring in late 2001. Make of this what you will.

It is the best filmic implementation of follow your bliss that I've ever seen, a celebratory portrayal of the artistic obsession which I could really identify with, and nevermind that I can barely make spaghetti. I'm still feeling mushy just thinking back on it, it was so perfect and wonderful. Really.

I'm with you. Ratatouille was superb.
