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.
