Wow Maggie! That essentially is like almost the entire movie!!! 
TSS - Hehe, I guess that’s the point… My favorite part is the whole movie! 
Ahhh… C’est beautiful, indeed… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

That was hilarious, dude! I was laughing so hard at that moment, since my sister and I do similar acts/things such as that. Absolutely genious… (snigger)
Heheh. I’m glad you loved it, Maggie. That makes another person who was deeply touched by this film…

My favorites:
[spoil]When Linguini is asleep on the couch and the couple on TV are having a mock romantic scene. It’s so funny.[/spoil]
[spoil]Also when Remy is running around the building to get to the roof where he first sees Paris and he comes across a couple who are fighting. The girl has a gun and the guy goes “you don’t have the GUTS!” and she shoots the gun and they kiss[/spoil].
[spoil]Colette pulls out her pepper spray, thinking Linguini is crazy, but then he kisses her. She resists! but then, gives in. sigh haha.[/spoil]
[spoil]Linguini’s face when he’s asleep in the kitchen wearing sunglasses, and looks at Colette. He looks so rude![/spoil]
I know there are others, that I can’t remember right now.
Maggie -
[spoil]Yeah, that part was hilarious! You don’t expect him to scream 3 times. LOL And when he says something like, “I don’t like you running up and down me with your little rat feet.” LOL[/spoil]
[spoil]Heh. I liked that part too. The part with the tomato and spaghetti was funny.[/spoil]
[spoil]sigh You got me thinking about that part… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" /> I didn’t expect it to be so passionate either. Especially since the French kiss, instead of a little peck. It’s so romantic, and I feel so happy for them both. I didn’t expect it to be so early either! I thought it would be at the end. So that was a pleasant surprise because we got to see Linguini and Colette as a couple for the rest of the film.[/spoil]
[spoil]That song is magical. So sweet, and uplifting and French. Full of hope. Have you read the translated lyrics, yet? I think the song sounds better in French, but if you want to know what the song is about you should read them… I really hope it gets nominated for an Oscar.[/spoil]
[spoil]Oh yeah. There are tons of lines like that in this film. So many metaphors that a lot of people can relate to, no matter what stage they are at in their life. This is one of those lines. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />[/spoil]
[spoil]Me too. You need to see the speech a few times to get it, I think.[/spoil]
For someone who hasn’t had any formal English lessons, your English is phenomenal. 
Seriously, you write better than some native English speakers.
Giggle. Thank you. I actually think there’s going to be a big rise in posting when the DVD comes out. In fact, the scene you mentioned: “[spoil]Remy’s first sight of Paris. Absolutely wonderful. <img src=”{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif" alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" /> I even heard my mom saying something like “It’s gorgeous…” I guess that scene brought her good memories (she went to Paris 10 years ago).[/spoil]" I’m planning to buy a widescreen TV especially for that, just so I can gaze and gaze. Absolutely INCREDIBLE moment, and so well spotted!
And Maggie, your first language isn’t ENglish? THere is NO WAY I would have guessed that! I wish I could speak any foreign languag as well asyou speak English! What is your first languab\ge, BTW?
The other moment I forgot to mention is one you caught - “[spoil]The review and the bistro. I don’t know what happened, I almost couldn’t think while listening to Ego’s review. I was speechless. I still am, can’t find the words to describe it.[/spoil]”
Oh, yeah. Thanks for reminding me! Speechless? You and the rest of the world, hon. There’s a reason they chose Peter O’Toole for that role. He is so, SO darn expressive in that. All the acting experience of his entire career is in the feeling he puts into that line. I would so LOVE to see the making of that scene. And actually, the flashback scene is funny for about half a second, and then I start crying. Every damn time, I do. That is EASILY the most powerful scene in the film. Because whatever facial expressions you used to convey that he liked the food, it would never be enough, would it? In the end, it would just be “He liked it.” But what happened - that did so many things on so many levels. On one, it was a very sophisticated reference to Proust, for the lit buffs, and of course, it would recall all the profound contemplations on life, the past, and the nature of human feeling and memory for those who had read the book. So that’s a deeper level. On the other, and that was what I loved about it, it took the ‘enemy’ and humanized him - suddenly, you had all this sympathy for Ego. To me, this was a - a stunning moment, because all we had seen of him was this cold vampire in his coffin-like room on his skull-like typewriter - and it was funny, but NOW we see it was because he was dead inside. The Biblical “Know thine enemy” becomes the Christian “Love thine enemy” - when you know where he’s coming from, you can love him; He’s not a faceless enemy any more. Because now you see his past, see this vulnerability and this wonderful warm mother in this autumn-coloured countryside, you see what he MISSES - what he’s lost. We see Ego’s loneliness, we see that his coldness is the coldness of the embittered. and the food reminds him of what he’s lost, what he used to be and what he STILL IS - you see him eating with those little sounds of pleasure and your heart really breaks for him. You just love him. And when he says in his review, “they have rocked me to my core” inthat wonderful tone - they have. And it is so wonderful in the end when we see him in a beret, looking easily twenty years younger, SMILING - he’s come back from the dead, and Remy plays the Messiah to Anton’s Lazarus. WHAT a symbolic structure if you get it. And until you do, the coffins are funny. But this film is put together with so much - so much - brainfade impending ah, poetry, that’s the word I’m looking for. Well-constructed metaphors slay me.Yeek. Have written novel. meeps and scurries away
Yeah, I’ve read them (my French was a bit rusty ). They were just so… [b]beautiful[/b]. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" /> And Camille’s voice suits it perfectly, it gives to the song that passionate “French-iness”. : ) I hope it gets nominated for an Oscar, too
Uh, actually, I did have English at school. Sorry I didn’t mention this earlier. 
But, to be honest, I already knew everything that was given in the classes. 
I don’t wanna brag or anything, but I always had excellent marks at English.
putmoneyinthypurse - Wow, you’re buying a widescreen TV specially for that scene? 
But I understand, that sight is absolutely gorgeous… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
Look at my location. I’m Portuguese.
You’re right, Mr. O’Toole did one FANTASTIC job with his voice acting, he’s so expressive. It would be awesome to see the making of the speech.
I agree with every single word you wrote there. I didn’t like Ego in the beginning, he sort of creeped me out (remember that line, [spoil]“How could it be… POPULAR…?!”[/spoil] ? I was creeped out. ). But then, with the [spoil]flashback, the memories and the review[/spoil], I started liking him, he was becoming a new man. : )
I’m glad you did, I loved reading it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention something…
That part was so funny!
putmoneyinthypurse - Man, that was beautiful, dude… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

Maggie - Not to get off-topic, but… Your signature: It’s back!!

Off-Topic: Mitch - Yep, it is baaaaack!!!
On-Topic:
Hehe, and I ask you… who wouldn’t? <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

Maggie - Well, to be honest I wasn’t at first. But I am now. So I’m very thankful. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

rachel - That’s why watching a movie several times is a good thing; you fall in love with it. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

I need to mention one more moment:
[spoil]How could I forget the drunk scene? So funny! 
Ever since I saw it, I’m always repeating to myself these lines…
Linguini: Hey, why did they call it that?
Skinner: What?
Linguini: Ratatouille. It’s like a stew, right? Why did they call it that? If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious! Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious! It sounds like rat… and patootie. Rat patootie!.. which does not sounds delicious…![/spoil]
Oh, by the way, I just remembered a very small detail that I was lucky enough to notice:
[spoil]It’s on that scene where Remy is annoyed with Linguini because he didn’t told the press what was his “real” secret. If you pay close attention, on that part where Remy is on Gusteau’s desk, while Linguini is saying “Don’t give me that look!”, you can see that there are some little drawings on the desk. I’m assuming that Linguini made those drawings. [/spoil]
It’s not very much, but when I noticed that, I couldn’t stop thinking about it…
Maggie - Oh yeah…
[spoil]The Drunk Scene = one of the best parts in the whole dang movie. Plain “nonsensicalness”, it was. My sister and I were cracking up! (snigger)
And yeah, I saw those little drawings, too! Pretty cool… [/spoil]
Although there are a select few poor souls who can’t see the cleverness and beauty of this film, I say “Amen” anyway!
