I know what everyone else is saying...

There's no need for praise considering the fact that it's all been said before. What has me puzzled are all of the "burn scars". I saw this movie on the fourteenth, my birthday, at the free preview in Manayunk. I'm reading a lot of reviews that talk about burn scars on all of the chef's wrists. As far as I remember, there was no consistency of burns among the chefs. I see figures in random textures, I know that I would have seen them on the other chef's throughout all the times that they expose their hands; such as when the one holds up his killer thumb.
What I did notice was the blatant marks on the woman's wrists when she talks about how to play things safe so as to avoid harming one's self. To an intelligent individual this seems to be an instance of very direct reference to some troubled times in her past that most likely led her to become tough. It is so obvious how this is appropriate for her character and that suicide scars don't mean someone is a cutter as cutters have small slashes in many locations, not just huge scars on the wrists. I've read reviews and saw where some said they were "worried that her character was a cutter", as if a little reality would shatter their bubble; and most likely did. As a result we have a great bit of detail meant strictly to be read into by "mature" audiences that gets watered down because a bunch of dumb-ass parents,( who probably didn't pick up on the citizen cane references and all of the cultured stuff in general) whined about the possibility of something disturbing to them that they would have to point out to their kids for them to even be phased. I hate censoring, and the dramatic emphasis on her wrists in that scene along with the suggestive dialogue and formulaic persona of the character make it so simply obvious that you would have to be blind or drunk to not pick up on. Then again, some folks think that 100 is high for an IQ. sad world. I hate whiners and I hope your children take to all of those things that you obsess with sheltering them from by putting the burden on other's backs and killing culture instead of actually raising your kids and using your easy bake minds a little better so as to understand and explain to your kids why people do these things and why they are often things that lead up to a person becoming tougher and not just dead as long as they have someone to reach out or something or other. To all of the idiots out there-STOP SCREWING UP OUR CULTURE AND ART BY DILUTING FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR COMFORT YOU POLITICALLY CORRECT BASTARDS!!!
PS-try looking into what politically correct really means; fascist and hypocrite are non-PC and it's OK to make fun of the middle east. get your heads out of your asses and stop acting like this lame ass etiquette of Americana makes you righteous and not dumb sheep. Ratatouille fan out!!!
