Ratatouille(2007)-the critic Ego's review

How to write a cynical blog: 1-Think about a famous author that sells a lot of books; 2- Criticize him-her like if he were stupid, putting yourself like you are much better than him just from criticizing him in the security of your house, risking nothing. 3- Attract all the haters of the author on Internet. Mentally masturbate listening those people repeat what you said as they already believe the same that you do. 4- Feel like you had done something of value while you have not. [LINK] [VIDEO]

[VIDEO] 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 probably 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. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends. 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 about fine cooking, 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 — 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." -- Anton Ego, "Ratatouille"

It is quite interesting how when someone does the job to create something, someone, that probably has not created anything meaningful in their live,because if they had they will at least respect those that try, has to say it is not going to work. [VIDEO] I believe that Apple has probably better information that you have. The world is tremendously big. I have been with Chinese oligarchs with several hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, the puppet oligarchs in Ukraine and Saudi Arabia supported by the US or Russia,Africa leaders,Brazil wealthy, the owners of fortune 500 companies. These people could spend 10.000 dollars with the blink of an eye. In day to day decisions they risk millions. I don't like this, but not liking it does not make part of the reality banish.
