The underlying message that “ anyone can cook” can transcend further than just being a metaphor for a rat in the kitchen
The movie is about achieving anything you set your mind to regardless of the obstacles in your way
Anthony Bourdain once said RATATOUILLE is the best food movie of all time.
“The best restaurant movie ever made, the best chef movie. The tiny details are astonishing:
•The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists.
•The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks.
•The attention paid to the food.
•And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest–literally breathtaking.
I saw it in a theater entirely full with adults–and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once–a long time ago–all about:
Audible surprise, delight, awe and even a measure of enlightenment.
I am hugely and disproportionately proud that my miniscule contribution (if any) early early in the project’s development led to a ‘thank you’ in the credits. Amazing how much they got ‘right.’”
I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.
Did you know? ⚓️ During WWII, the former “Municipal Pier” was transformed into the largest Naval training facility on the planet, officially renamed "Navy Pier" in 1927 to honor that incredible legacy of service.
Fast forward to 2026, and we’re still making history with our biggest summer of pier-produced programming EVER. https://t.co/KofdCXfxDU #ChicagoHistory
@AristoEhrler Walking around looking at nice buildings truly effects one's mindset for the better.
Imagine living around ruin, decayed buildings, closed businesses, lifeless buildings copy and pasted one after another.
Living in this environemnt slowly kills the soul.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
@StarWarsCCG@Ishita_Sharma42 It takes common sense not a science degree to know that a burger from McDonalds won't be as healthy as properly sourced ingredients you look into yourself when creating said burger
