10/24/2007 Ratatouille微笑着感动着看完了Ratatouille(译名《美食总动员》),好似一面镜子在映照着自己,小老鼠Remy的故事感动着每一个人。当然,点睛之笔却是美食评论家Ego的转变,他在临末尾的时候的那段话无疑是每个拼搏着的心灵的真实写照。不想再多写些感想,只是援引一下这段话。共勉。
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.
But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably 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 defense of the new.
The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.
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 about fine cooking 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 realize only now do I truly understand what he meant.
Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in the France.
I will return to Gusteau soon, hungry for more. |
