最近才有机会看到这部电影,中文叫:“料理鼠王”。 其实Ratatouille是电影中制造高潮的引子—— 一道简单的家常菜。它不但让一贯冷酷苛刻的美食家内心重获温暖,而且更是进一步诠释了做人更高的境界。 有没有点食神的味道?
其实就料理的历史,中法意等都相当悠久。 尤以法国菜更为讲究。所以西方人想从饮食中引出些大道理,自然会选用以法国为主的题材。顺便,电影中也着实奚落了一番速食产品。
临近尾声的那段充满磁性的男性独白,摘录如下:
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.
"But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defence of the new. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core.
"In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realise that only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."
就这简单的一段话。 美食家Ego的形象顿时凸现出来。 加上老到投入的Peter O'Toole的配音(就是末代皇帝里,溥仪的那个老师), 对整个电影的感觉有了很大的提升。
到这里才明白, 这部电影前面热闹喧嚣,打打杀杀,都不是重点。
换言之, 人可以努力拼搏,可以正直坦率,这些都不难。 最难的是身居高位而虚怀若谷,不卑不亢。通达二字值得回味啊。
另外,很喜欢Janeane Garofalo的口音。 把Colette描绘的很丰满。
可能跟自己一贯喜欢木兰似的女孩子有关吧。
