The Music of the Guzheng

The Case for Tasting Ratatouille (1):
Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), feared food critic, having heard of the resurgent popularity of Gusteau's - a restaurant he had previously written a scathing review of - decides to go and write a second review.  Remy (Patton Oswalt) prepares a dish of ratatouille for him, leading to this vivid flashback as Ego takes his first bite.

The Case for The Music of the Guzheng:
Having earlier been thwarted when trying to intimidate the residents of Pigsty Alley, Brother Sum (Danny Chan Kwok-kwan) hires The Harpists (Gar Hong-hay and Fung Hak-on) to kill the kung fu masters who had defended the slum.  The two arrive and use their guzheng to attack the masters and defend themselves from their skills.
