The old chef forged documents to take over the restaurant for himself, stealing from the protagonist, took advantage of the name Gustav to sell cheap food for profit.
Have you even watched the movie?
I have but I banked on people’s mandela effect memories to flip them towards the opinion.
Worked on me OP 👍 (I’m easily swayed and have no convictions)
You should change that right away.
You got it boss. Done 👍
The villain in Ratatouille wanted to take over the restaurant, specifically for the name, so he could sell out with cheaply made frozen meals.
He was also a massive French asshole. 🤢
He was also
a massiveFrenchasshole. 🤢He Fr*nch 🤢🤮
ugh the Americans of Europe
Don’t insult Americans like that. Even we don’t deserve that much hate.
it’s the perfect insult - there’s literally no one who wouldn’t be upset at this!
So he was just a capitalist
When he locked remi in his truck, he said he wanted the rat to cook for him for his frozen food industry.
When the final boss is the sanitary inspector:
he was french though
Gross. I hear they eat snails
I hear they eat food cooked by rats
Wait you’re telling me that movie had a plot and wasn’t just about how bad I wanted that bad French bih to sit on my face?
Sitting on her face tho… ouch
This is why i love that movie, there’s no evil person but one who doesn’t want the restaurant to run by someone who can’t even cook nor run a business, and he doesn’t want the restaurant to shut down by health inspection. The crew quitting over it signified the seriousness of this issue. Linguini almost ruined the restaurant if not for Remy.
They kind of had to add that bit of him being a sellout who wants to ruin Gusteau’s legacy.
Late-stage capitalism is hardly all on his shoulders.
I don’t think that Ratatouille had that much of an anti-capitalist angle. Let alone a late-stage capitalism one.
I didn’t mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.
That’s just the world we live in.
So he was evil?
Maybe I’m wrong but I always took it as a metaphor for class. At one point Skinner literally calls linguine a rat. Also Skinner wanted to turn the restaurant into a frozen food empire…
