Had a great time on Thursday night - went for a special screening of Ratatouille with Carmen, organised by this new local company called Quaffs at GV Vivocity.
This wonderful film has now become my favourite food flick - although it's a "cartoon" as some might say, the characters were so fantastically well-drawn out and the sets were so detailed that I was drawn into the film & found myself rooting for Remy the rat, who is the common "man"(?), that became the "greatest chef in France", not just because he had talent, but through perseverence & never giving up on his dream. Who would have thought that a rat could be so inspirational ? The team of Brad Bird ( who was the man behind The Incredibles ) & the people at Pixar have done it again !
The way in which music was used in the picture was excellent - discovering different tastes was compared to hearing different types of music or sounds, the combination of which could result in an exciting new piece of music, rather like jazz ! :-)
The Straits Times reviewer gave it 5 stars & I echo that that sentiment !
The evening was rounded off by a very good dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Vivocity, which was a great finale to a wonderful evening celebrating some of my favourite things. Here's to life, great food, great friends, great film, great music....
