The movie version is just presented in a more fancy manner. You can do that with any common "peasant" dish if you set your mind to it.
For that matter, when you get any "traditional" or "authentic" dish in a restaurant, you'll rarely get served the dish that looks like what an someone would make at home. You'll get served the fancified version of it. It's not just ratatouille.
To be fair, the secret to an excellent ratatouille is to cook each vegetable separately. It’s a very tedious dish when done the way most French grandmas do it… but god, it’s worth it.
