今天晚上的电影

今天难得有时间，看了Ratatouille。看完之后，只能说，无比的感动。看似故事简单的动画片，却是现实社会的缩影，有很多值得回味的对白及寓意，虽然不像有原子弹般的震撼力，却有如子弹般，直接穿透人心，那种感觉，久久不能散去。

电影的内容不需要我多做介绍，但是最后那一段由美食评家说出的那一段，让我有很深的感触。。。

“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 defense 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 realize 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.

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 France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.”

很多时候，我们都是评论家，评论他人的作品，评论他人的心血实在太容易，不需成本，不费吹灰之力。只是，在评击他人的缺点时，我们的付出，相比之下，比起真正努力的人，我们享受着的“权威”是多么的卑微跟渺小啊！

“并非每个人都是艺术家，但是艺术家，却可能来自任何角落” 这一句话，是第二次的震撼。我们利用笔下或口中的自由言论空间毫不保留的评击他人，但我们有没有留给他们一些生存的空间呢？

或许这只是一部欢乐的动画片，但是跟电影院其他观众一起快乐收场之后，我陷入了我的沉思。。。

后记：
我很想知道，一部电影的结束到底是故事的结束，还是ending credit之后。每当电影结束之后，我总是想要把ending credit看完才愿意离去。也许是想要听听片尾曲，或者是想看看这部片到底是花了多少人力的付出才把它完成，可是我发现并不是每一个人跟我有同样的习惯。对于这个我可以谅解，可是有点不爽的就是，当电影院还有三分之一的人留下来把ending credit看完的同时，耳后竟然听到打扫阿姨们的吸尘机跟塑胶袋收拾垃圾的噪音。。。
