Therapist Reacts to RATATOUILLE 

🐀

Hi. Can you guys do the Secret Life of Walter Mitty? I'd really like to see an episode about maladaptive daydreaming. Thanks for doing Ratatouille, it was one of my favorite movies growing up.

Did the ending create beautiful ones

Explain why you did something and what you did wrong isn't justifying it's better than making the noise I'm im sorry

Nice.

When something hits you so wonderfully to your core, it’s nigh impossible to give even nitpicks.

I mean to be fair (Guardians spoiler) he did kill Peter Quill’s mom.

And beyond that, it was a dish that actually spoke of a chef that cared for and observed their customer, a level of hospitality and earnesty that may remind someone of maternal care. It wasn't just the flavor, but the gesture.

This movie has so many layers.

​@@ztslovebirdmuch like a well-made lasagna

🥲 awww

I love this comment ❤️

There’s also the fact that Colette told Linguini at the beginning that “you cannot be mommy in the kitchen” and ironically enough that’s exactly what pleased Ego

Holy shit, you're so right!! 😮

Very clever observation!

Some good character development is happening 💙

"Work In Progmess" absolutely killed me tho, what a mood

Knowing remmy he definitely lived about ten because of pure will

TTS voice: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that

eight... eight year lifespan. average of 6.

@@lokii3970That’s getting into guinea pig territory

​@@lokii3970i don't see any record if a rat ever living 6 years. I've cared for rats and they're really only about 2 year lifespan. I think you're getting them confused with something else.

That billboard insert made me crack up !!!! 😂😂😂

🤣 laughed way too hard at that 😂

I was dying, I had to go back and wtach it again😂😂

He did not have to be so savage😂❤.

I KNOW RIGHT LMAO

best thing i’ve read all day 🤣

Breaking Bad is overrated.

@@foolslayer9416 "In the grand scheme of things, the worst piece of junk is probably worth more than our criticism designating it so." - Anton Ego

@@GoldenMediaGirl You're taking that quote COMPLETELY out of context. Anton writes that as a prelude to saying that the new and the different need friends, that it takes courage to stand in their defense - Breaking Bad is neither new nor different, nor does it need defending, given that it is probably one of the most popular series of all time. Whether the show is overrated or not has less to do with the objective quality of the series itself and more on how exaggerated fans are in their praise of it, which is a far harder thing to either prove or disprove.

i agree​@@foolslayer9416

One might say his life became more fulfilling after Remy.

@@PopeDuwang 😂 I love you!

I never noticed. Good eye. :)

He is actually eating and not just tasting now

Ego did say if he doesn't like the food, he doesn't swallow it. He must not have eaten many meals before eating Remy's dish.

Ooh, that’s very astute!

yes

😅

To be fair, he said this might be his favorite! Might be one of mine too

Is this the first video where we could hear Alan in the intro of the episode? I'm happy for him. He is a creator of art, and this episode is very fitting for that. ❤

Definitely my favorite ❤

It's not his fault that they're all so good! 😂

well spotted!

That's such a Pixar detail. I love it.

He also looks more well-fed and less gaunt. There's even some weight on him (not much, very subtle). He's rediscovered his love of food (and by extension, life) and his job/industry, and it shows.

He went from royalty to down-to-earth 😂

You might even say, he starts wearing earthy tones once he remembers his...roots

Absolutely!!!!

"Anyone can cook but not anyone can direct" is perfection too!!!

it's thoroughly ironic to me that in most respects, cooking is regarded as "women's work," but the instant there's a whiff of power and status involved, it's the realm of men and a woman couldn't possibly know what she's doing in the kitchen.

​@@dietotakuFR WHAT IS UP WITH THAT????

Its because for most of history society believed that women were morally obligated to be making food for their husband and children. It was seen as one of their purposes. Therefore, a woman daring to try to be paid to do something she "should" be doing for free for her family (and working which would take her time away from her husband and kids as well) was seen as a huge moral failing. Woman are "supposed" to cook for their family. Asking to be paid to cook for others was "wrong" because it was seen as her abandoning her "womanly/wifely duties" ​@dietotaku

​@dietotaku yep. sewing/fashion is the same.

I experienced this when I started working with a female mechanic; she was wary of me at first because she'd found little to no acceptance from the other mechanics, who were all men. By the end of the first week she was spending every free moment hanging out in my work bay, because I treated her as an equal.

Heck yes!!

Hey, nice to see you here man, hope you have a good day

They did indeed 😌 Hi

hey cool we all need therapy :D

Bryson! I didn't expect to find a comment from you on this video

A bit like Kronk... 😄

@@Laurelin70 But that would be *squeak squeak* "Squeaker squeaky squeak?" *Squeak!" I see where you're coming from, but have you considered Squeaky squeaker instead of Squeaker squeaky?"

This thread is a gem!!!! Thanks for the laughters!!!

I never thought of it that way, but yeah!

As a fellow autistic person, I love this comment.

you put it SO well, i couldn't even find the words. i relate to Remy SO MUCH too and i'm also autistic! thank you for articulating and sharing this 🥹

Same here. Heavy on having to teach yourself things and people constantly asking "why you do it like that?/ act that way?" With all my actions, even if I don't even know I'm doing anything considered different or weird. It's really exhausting, actually.

Also the hightened sensitivity!!! It all just makes sense, you know??

He's also gotten a lot less pale

I never even noticed that!! Good catch!

Personally, I could never have a rat as a pet. Losing a pet is hard enough with long-lived ones, so I'm not about to inflict that heartache on myself every 2 - 3 years. More power to you, though!

​@@Hermititis*rats, in plural. But you're completely right, having to say goodbye so soon never stops breaking your heart 😭

​@@Hermititis That's actually the only reason I never had a rat! I love those little guys, but I get heartbroken when I lose my pets. I couldn't handle having a pet that lives so little.

@@HermititisSame. I love rats, they are adorable. But I was friends online with someone with rats and it felt like every few months it was a cancer scare or another, or an actual tumor and eventual death, then they have to find their surviving rat a new friend because they can’t be alone. It just feels like a constant cycle of heartbreak. They are too smart and adorable to live such short lives.

@@fightingfaerieOh, I absolutely understand that. I wish I could just enjoy my boys without the knowledge that they’ll only live a couple of years.

wtf-. wait what

I don't know that

That is so, so true. Back before I was able to get the disability pension, I took a string of absolutely soul-crushing retail and customer service jobs and they nearly broke me. My creativity and ability to be just... happy, were being completely destroyed by it.

Factory work, sure. But whose family is pushing their children into retail? It hardly pays minumum wage. Most parents I know are embarrassed that their kids do minumum wage work and would rather them do anything else.

That makes so much sense, actually!

@@queencleopatra007 I had a friend get pushed into management position for Walmart, simply cause it pays good. They worked him like a dog to the put he almost had a mental breakdown. He couldn't find a job with his two degrees in physics and his wife wouldn't move due to familial obligations. They finally did move and he is doing way better now.

Excellent observation!!!!

done and done, jono 😂

I'm able to see some creative editing stuffs going on lately in this channel. (It's great, it's fun) Are you using Gen AI or is there any change in the editing team? Just curious.

This feels like something Jono would say if he started his villain arc

Thanos got him

Yesss ! My favorite Pixar, and my dad's favorite too (he loves to cook + my mother is called Colette ❤️)

I find it funny that the french loved the movie so much there is/was a wine with a cartoon rat on it that isnt allowed in America. Unless it was just a coincidence…

I think the joke was that people don’t like it because the French are in it

​@@matityaloran9157yeah, that's it

@@matityaloran9157 My bad, the extract from the movie right after is right tho, we are rude because we are french XD

I noticed the coffin shape but definitely did not notice the typewriter! 😅

Ego does look vaguely vampiric...

Absolutely!!!

Came here to say this!! It's a solid theory and I LOVE that it was never explicitly stated.

Yes

Unfortunately it’s wrong someone high up in making the movie said that theory was wrong.

​@@vincenzoditrolio6985So the council has made a decision, etc etc. I love the idea of it even if it's not canon. It's canon in my heart and no one can take that away.

I heard a theory that the old lady is Ego's GRANDmother, but I could also see an aunt or a sister. Point is that Remy learned the recipe he uses from her, and that it's the same recipe as in Ego's memory.

We love our editors! They're the best!

Your opinion is correct

YEAHHHH!!

I watched this movie on repeat as a kid, literally my favorite movie of all time.

Couldn’t agree more. This is the best Disney movie ever in my opinion.

"Ghosteau" 😂😂😂

As someone who's almost 30, I can promise you that you've got this! Your 20s are truly so life changing in the best and worst ways, but just keep moving forward and you'll get through it!

Don't worry about the birthday, you age the same amount every single day

Best thing you can do is, have a solid plan of options of what you're doing currently and where you want to be (end goal). When I was 20, I was in college and had plans to go to graduate school for counseling, so until age 24 I had my life planned out because I was in school and working both during the school year and while back home during summers. At 24, I had my master's and started applying to jobs in counseling. Traveled and worked in a lot of good and lot of crappy jobs, but I saved a ton of money over 10 years by putting whatever didn't go to bills and my student loans into savings. When I turned 30 (start of the pandemic...yay), I got a dream job I've been at for now 4 years and I'm set for life with retirement savings, health insurance, a good salary, and my loans are paid off. NOW that I'm financially stable and in a good spot, I can start having kids and such. Kids prior to getting solid footing with a job would've probably put me in debt and limited my job search. I had a single mom growing up who got no child support so my work ethic in both school and at work helped get me good grades and raises faster, which made me make more money faster. Have a plan of how you're going to reach your end goal and don't think you're too good for any job (I was a custodian, deli clerk, McDonald's cashier, take out server, prep cook, crossing guard, mailroom sorter/delivery person, law office assistant, camp counselor, substitute teacher, Dunkin employee, and more in my journey to eventually get to the job I have now). You've got this!

Ouch! I hope you can taste things again!

@@DawnDavidson yeah we can both taste again, thank goodness. Let me tell you, not even the macaroni shaped like dinosaurs can make you happy when you can’t taste your macaroni in the first place.

Rat-tattoo-e 😂

Saw that video essay last year! Good to see another fan of that channel's work.

INjUrEd?? *he says with a smile* (That’s what I say every time I see those car insurance/whatever billboards 😂)

Vienna, Austria is known for dark humour. During the pandemic, the Vienna funeral agency sold masks with the slogan "denying covid creates job security". (Don't believe me, try a Google image search of "Bestattung Wien Corona")

Yeah so many parents especially since like 2012 (social media boom and iPhone/smart phone release) have been nightmarish. It's not just the parents that choose their own lives and needs at the expense of their children's, but also the family bloggers/vloggers who pump out kids for content and exploitation. The amount of parents that shove a tablet at a kid at dinner time or they themselves have their eyes glued to their phone instead of socializing...it's just gross.

You can get a bachelor's degree in pastry!? You're doing life right!

Where did you get Django? 😂

​​@@michaelmcatee221 Django is Remy's dad's name?

@@theodoro3188 I mean what is your source? Where did you find that information.

@@michaelmcatee221 Disney wiki, Heroes Wiki, it's there

Lots of ways to play with the name too :) Depending on accent and pronunciation, for instance, it can sound close to 'a meal' :)

​@@PhotonBeastI didn't notice that 🤔

He’s also the greatest rat. Seriously such a fluffy little round rodent. I want to pet him.

The editor is always credited in the video description. Our editing team is the best!

Me too! -Megan, producer and writer - Cinema Therapy

We hope you're having a better day. Glad you enjoyed the episode! 😊

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

And thank you, chef, for sharing your food with everyone! :)

Plus I think people who actually go into the culinary world realize the early days are just learning to cut veggies for hours the same way or prepare meat the same way every day, and in most kitchens you're simply a cog in a wheel expected to do the same thing every day perfectly. There's very little room to be "creative" unless you're in charge or you've earned the respect of the head chef. Mostly it's be seen and not heard and just do your station well and don't screw up.
