Whenever he’s got hold of those hair reins, it seems as though Linguini loses complete control of his bodily functions, and Remy is in charge. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I’m pretty sure it’s what causes much of the comic mischief. If Linguini could still control his limbs, why wouldn’t he just stop Remy from flailing about…
Or am I just thinking about the scene when Linguini is asleep in the kitchen and Remy is in complete control?
Now that I think more about it, by the end of the film I think it becomes more of a synergistic thing as they learn to work in concert to cook the best dish.

Especially after we all saw what they mean by the living “having to suffer,” during COVID. The “suffering” of having to wear a mask. The “suffering” of maybe getting a perfectly safe vaccine in order to protect yourself and others (including people you don’t know and will never meet, wow imagine that)…
But hey, it means that I don’t have to pay for some homeless person’s health care through my income tax, so worth it amirite?
