Ratatouille

I was watching the movie Ratatouille (disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/) a couple of weeks ago... and i found a strange analogy to Linguini, Remy and the chef: the bad guy of the movie. The chef is basically a trouble some boss who supposedly is infected by diseases like a big ego, narrow mindedness, and sadistic nature. Remy is a talented rat who is gifted with a dog's nose which smells food and estimates optimal combinations of food contents better or equal in effectiveness to the human tongue. Linguini, a poor garbage boy who wants to be in the cooking team of an elite restaurant develops a protocol of communication with Remy which cannot be decrypted by the remaining humans in the vicinity, hence surprises the head chef by being a pseudo-Remy. Linguini is however traumatized by the bad chef boss... but Remy made his life so much better, and finally the Linguini-Remy combination resulted in Ratatouille !!
The analogy I am trying to draw here is that the bad chef is approximated by the wicked boss in real life who makes you work round the clock, 24 /7. Linguini is the so called poor employee who has to lead a monotonous work life with no hope or avail... suddenly a genie called 'luck' introduces to him, Remy the rat, which controls the poor employee aka Linguini with a joystick :P, and the product is made--- Ratatouille..!!
For my friends, Ratatouille is my so called masters thesis... for the rest of you, its meant to be cryptic...!
Do I have the remaining components in my life? :) Am I yet to meet Remy or do I have it inherent coiled somewhere within the convoluted gray matter up there? (Okay, I am complimenting myself here! :D )
If "Anyone can cook" , can the Remy in me cook up something too within a year from now? :) The bad chef isn't a bad guy by the way !! :D
