DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to RATATOUILLE
Added 2024-05-01 17:00:00 +0000 UTCHow do you honor what your loved ones are passionate about?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are watching Ratatouille and reacting to the theme of telling the story of being an artist. For Remy, it’s through food and cooking, and they talk about how everyone has their own medium of art. Alan talks about the art of filmmaking, both from his perspective and genius director Brad Bird. Jonathan explains why finding your passion is foundational to loving and accepting yourself. And they come up with some wild theories about Remy’s psychosis.

Dad's definitely leaning into viewing humans as 'the other'. Under the circumstances, that makes practical sense, but in doing so, he can't view humans as ANYTHING but a threat.

2024-10-18 18:38:08 +0000 UTCGreat video! Also, it struck me how Alan said the story of ‘Ratatouille’ only came together in the last 18 months, after Brad Bird was given a bunch of models and sets and then told to write something new for them – not just for how well he did, but also because that’s almost EXACTLY what happened with ‘Zootopia’! For years the Disney studio worked on a *completely* different draft of the story that centered on Nick and involved predators being forced to wear shock collars, but no matter what they tried, it wasn’t working. Eventually, with only a year and a half left, they asked the geniuses at Pixar for help, and were advised their premise was fundamentally flawed – it was impossible to depict a “utopic” city that was also a quasi-apartheid state, and making the societal problem so obvious removed any subtlety to the story. So they threw out the “shock collar” plot altogether and came up with an entirely new story that made the systemic prejudice more subtle and realistic, which ultimately worked much better, both as a story and as a message. It’s amazing, sometimes, what kind of brilliance can come out of a massive time crunch. At least the sequel next year won’t have that issue, hopefully! (Hope it’s all right if I spent most of this comment talking about a whole different movie … 😅)

2024-06-06 19:24:30 +0000 UTCI remember doing what Remi done , and oddly enough it was a soup dish my friend was cooking and I took it from tasting like death to something that tasted great I was like “ Yay go me “ but in all seriousness though this movie was inspiring and I can relate to Remi on so many levels 🙂☮️💚

2024-05-17 00:24:45 +0000 UTCI agree with Alan, this is my hands down, no questions asked my FAVORITE Pixar movie of all time. I used to watch this movie every time I went to my dad’s house on the weekends. I can come into any scene and speak along with the characters. This movie is so deep rooted in my growing up and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this and giving these new perspectives I have never paid attention to as a small uneducated child.

2024-05-07 20:23:04 +0000 UTCThe amazing thing about being on Patreon is that I now get to write my movie suggestions (which will still probably get lost amongst all the other comments). Soooo ... If you want to watch a moving, incredibly funny, well made, modern animated story, I strongly suggest NIMONA. It's basically about this kid Nimona, who is so tired of society treating them badly, that they decide to become a supervillain sidekick. But the chosen "villain" is not entirely aware of his new role of the evil, murderous mastermind. And from here things get wild. 💪

2024-05-04 23:08:01 +0000 UTCMy problem in life is that I think in song lyrics. As soon as Remy mentions that he was a rat in a cage, my mind immediately goes, "Despite all of his rage." Then music.

2024-05-04 17:21:14 +0000 UTCThe best part of the remy fixing the soup scene is supposedly rats physically cannot gag. Linguini made a soup so bad it breaks biology.

2024-05-04 00:00:57 +0000 UTCI once fixed a chipotle-adobo chicken and converted it to chicken with spicy plum and peach glassé. It was not horrible on taste but it was so spicy that people would cry over the smell. It takes effort to be able to modify it. Remi knew it would take his time to escape if he stopped to help, but it worked!

2024-05-03 15:38:22 +0000 UTCI'm one of those guys who have this movie as favourite pixar. I absolutely adore it, but I can't watch movie if I'm hungry :D Ego's monologue is my favourite and I always remember it when I talk about some art (most likely movie or series) "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." Even when I really don't like movie I try to remember that people put work in it, so even if I can dislike some elements or most elements, Joel Schumacher worked hard on making batman and robin and there is still value in movie there are still cool moments and that is art. My opinion can't make it good or bad it's still just interpretation of art of someone's work. It actually is pretty important line for my life philosophy because of how much time I spent arguing about movies and series :D

2024-05-02 22:22:49 +0000 UTCI love this movie! It's my dad's favorite Pixar movie. He reminds me of Remy so much. He also is passionate about cooking. I think in another life he would have been a chief. As a fine artist myself this movie speaks to me. It makes me so happy and reminds me to live my dreams and follow my passions. At my work we put disney movies on and this is one of the ones I always pick. Thank you Jono and Alan for this video and all of your content! Thank you to all the artists of the world!

2024-05-02 21:37:03 +0000 UTCWho is the better manipulator? Remy or Palpatine? They achieve their goals in very different ways - one by pulling hair, the other by corrupting a peaceful Republic and turning it into a genocidal dictatorship... but are they so different? Yes. Yes they are.
Anders
2024-05-02 20:47:38 +0000 UTCHard agree on Anton Ego’s monologue, one of THE best in all of cinema. Did anyone notice that at the end, he was starting to put on a bit of weight? His cheeks were a lot fuller, Remy was giving him food he wanted to swallow. 😊

2024-05-02 17:59:12 +0000 UTCThanks so much for this guys. This one is probably my favorite Pixar film because of Remy's struggle to balance his pursuing his art and his father's approval. This is a struggle I knew first hand and it was very painful to deal with. So this film for me was very healing and gave me a glimpse of what it could be like to live in a space where I didn't have to choose...I could be an artist an leave my mark on the world and my family could still find pride in that even if they didn't understand. And even if they didn't, that was okay because being my authentic self is the most important thing. And as a writer, I agree with you Alan, Anton's monologue may be one of the greatest ever written. Thanks again!

2024-05-02 17:32:32 +0000 UTCI know this because I felt this way when my dad passed and there were things I wished we could have talked and cleared things up

2024-05-02 17:32:07 +0000 UTCI'd imagine so. Their heights are staged cleverly depending on the vibe. When they are at the table they're far closer in height. When Remi is feeling intimidated, Dad is huge, etc.

My dad may not live much longer but I’m just looking forward to not having to be his nurse. (Two of us didn’t even have CHILDREN but we have a giant wrinkly baby to deal with every day.) I would love to feel sadder that my dad is old and helpless, but I’m too exhausted to care. And as the family “disappointment” who is a creative and didn’t major in marketing, it’s hard to even try.

2024-05-02 17:20:47 +0000 UTCI am convinced that it is one of the biggest mental health crises we can experience and I am glad that people are finally starting to talk about it honestly. Everyone shouldn’t have to learn about it the hard way when it’s so common.
Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:20:13 +0000 UTCSo proud of you Alan 🤣

2024-05-02 17:19:50 +0000 UTCYeah, I'd say neither is more right or more wrong. They just need to come to an understanding, and be ready to listen to each other
Opal Evergreen
2024-05-02 17:19:44 +0000 UTCIt is so good!!!! Tbh I bought it because the cover is cool. Only read it once YEARS ago but it's survived 2-3 donation culls

Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:19:03 +0000 UTCOof, I feel Remi so hard with his interactions with his Dad. Another reason this movie is so great. It shows both sides empathetically but shows the boldness of embracing change WHILE understanding the past.
Smidge
2024-05-02 17:18:09 +0000 UTCIt’s SO good.
Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:18:00 +0000 UTCNo, but that name is amazing
Kambria
2024-05-02 17:18:00 +0000 UTCThere is definitely a connection between food and processing grief that seems to be really important to recognize. I am sorry for your loss. ❤️
Jimmy Danielle

2024-05-02 17:17:45 +0000 UTCI'm sorry for your loss. What did you bake?
Loki Dokey
2024-05-02 17:17:37 +0000 UTCYes, exactly. Burnout is a monster I wish was talked about more to younger folks. I had to learn the hard way.
IndyDraws
2024-05-02 17:17:25 +0000 UTCTo answer the question of can you fix something terrible and make it good, I would say depends on the things. Like if it started out as processed food, there's basically nothing you can do to save it from the smell and taste of preservatives. Something home made like Linguine made, definitely. You just gotta know what things will cancel out the bad and fix it. Totally do-able.
Smeeson
2024-05-02 17:17:13 +0000 UTCSuper therapeutic.
Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:17:06 +0000 UTCI remember when my dad passed away in December of could have grieved sitting but instead I went straight into my kitchen and I started baking
Rena Nice
2024-05-02 17:16:45 +0000 UTCYes! Precisely why I have a hard time starting projects in the first place
Opal Evergreen
2024-05-02 17:16:39 +0000 UTCDoing better than me. I still most things I’ve ever made! 🤦🏼♂️
Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:16:29 +0000 UTCJono’ s sharing some really profound wisdom in there. Even psychotic rat movies can highlight the importance of knowing personal boundaries and avoiding burn out.
Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:16:28 +0000 UTCLove the talk on stepping back, not burning yourself out. The best advice I got was never give 100% of yourself to a project. Hurts as a creative who wants things to be perfect, but realistically…? It tracks. You can’t give everything. You have to call it quits before it damages you. Been there, done that. :(
IndyDraws
2024-05-02 17:16:13 +0000 UTCFor me it was 15 years later (financially)… Dunno when it’ll fully happen emotionally… I need therapy.
Alan Seawright

Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:15:13 +0000 UTCThat “hubby sneaking in at 2am” feeling of clinging to them so they can’t get up for “just one more thing hun I swear”
Emily Gravity
2024-05-02 17:15:06 +0000 UTCInnit that the way with creative projects of any sort? Sometimes the pay off comes much, MUCH later.
IndyDraws
2024-05-02 17:15:02 +0000 UTCI am a Raymond Holt when it comes to food, so all of this is lost on me but I love seeing how happy food makes people. It seems to bring so much joy for people who love to make it and for those who like to eat it.

Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:13:35 +0000 UTCI always loved how committed Disney / Pixar are to capturing the movements of their characters realistically.
IndyDraws
2024-05-02 17:12:53 +0000 UTCWell, maybe not the cooking bit... 😅
Wendy Darling
2024-05-02 17:12:45 +0000 UTCFood IS art. Maybe the most important art, cause it’s literally part of us! I make movies that most people never see, and the ones that do mostly forget. But FOOD!?
Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:12:41 +0000 UTCI will!
bryt.knee.
2024-05-02 17:12:16 +0000 UTCThe animation of Remi is so spot on for rats. I love it!
Wendy Darling
2024-05-02 17:12:09 +0000 UTCMan, I just love the animation. It's from 2007, but it still looks so good

2024-05-02 17:11:55 +0000 UTCI will say when I was getting into cooking I always felt like Julia Childs was guiding me when I was teaching myself more on recipes and testing myself
Rena Nice
2024-05-02 17:11:48 +0000 UTCThey really need to work on accommodating video content more. You can tell they are getting more popular than Patreon was ready for.
Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:11:27 +0000 UTCOoh. Send them a feedback. We’re talking to them all the time about improving Drops and the rest of their stuff. They REALLY listen to this kind of stuff! I know a bunch of the developer and design team over there. Seriously! Let them know! They listen!
Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:11:21 +0000 UTCSame! I was excited to be on time for once a day it was already a few minutes in
Holly✌️
2024-05-02 17:11:20 +0000 UTCIt seems like it!
bryt.knee.
2024-05-02 17:11:06 +0000 UTCI definitely identify with this movie a lot for many different reasons. Remi having ultra senses is very similar to my experience as an autistic. I am the "poison checker" in my family because my sense of smell is highly developed. I can tell how long food has before it turns by smell alone. I'm also a fantastic cook but as a kid I could only follow recipes, now as an adult I feel more confident in just tossing things in here and there and creating a masterpiece. I like thinking of this as an allegory for whatever you do that makes you passionate and art. Hadn't necessarily thought about it that way before. I like it. 😊

Cinema Therapy
2024-05-02 17:08:17 +0000 UTCYeah, Remy's dad focuses so much on practicality and survival (rightfully so) he (unintentionally) neglects part of his son's needs. But Remy also needs to understand where his dad is coming from

Alan Seawright
2024-05-02 17:05:27 +0000 UTCI think that’s always been the hard part for me with this movie. I am just a little bit too literal to get past it at points lol.
Jimmy Danielle
2024-05-02 17:05:03 +0000 UTCI think on rewatching I would take different things away from it than I did back then. I’m a vastly different (and maaaaybe more mature) person than I was back then. I seem to recall at the halfway point I felt like it had gone on too long, or something. But also. I was like, 17 and stupid. Lol
