Anton Ego Montage from Ratatouille and the Acceptance Sequence

I am having trouble getting what I want from the climax/resolution sequence.
A sequence with a similar interaction is the Anton Ego paradigm shift from Ratatouille.

The audience's perception of the character changes completely, in line with the characters paradigm shift.

Locution: Anton's eyes open wide, pupils enlarge; Dolly-zoom; Montage of Anton as a child, comforted by mother, eating ratatouille; Dolly zoom, cut to a shot of Anton dropping pen; close up of the pen; reaction shot of Anton in awe

Illocution: Anton is in awe of how powerfully the tasting experience reminds him of the comfort he got from his mother through her ratatouille, 

Perlocution: The audience identifies with the Antagonist, the power of the shift in perceptions is equated to the power of the emotional impact of the dish being served

Primitive: Build the character up as a villain then show him as vulnerable
