      not a movie review

      I don't understand magical realism, so I won't comment on the bizarre logic in the story. The time span of the film is too large, and it especially tests the director's ability to control, from the birth of a child to middle age, and the protagonist has a face when he grows up, and he has returned...

      Food, Feminism and Fantasy in Como agua para chocolate

      As usual, the text three years ago. I can no longer fully represent my understanding of movies and my understanding of love and life, but it is also meaningful to put it here to review my own perspective in the past.

      The movie is like a cross between "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera" with a hasty happy ending. Music, monologue, light, expressionist fireworks, the specter of taste in the text, interweave into a revolutionary romanticism. The Renaissance of Latin American literature and Latin American cinema confronted the more permanent and primitive cave myths, family totems, incest taboos, blood curses, and the condensation of all free images with love, which directly crossed the Middle Ages and shattered the pantheon. , keep shouting: Seize the day! Seize the day!

    Like Water for Chocolate quotes

    • Doctor John Brown: My grandmother, Morning Star, was a Kikapu Indian. She said that we are all born with a match box inside of us, and we can't light them ourselves. We need, like in this experiment, oxygen and a candle. But in our case, the oxygen must come from the breath of the lover. The light of the candle can be anything. A song, a word, a caress, a sound. Just anything! Something that pulls the trigger and lights on of the matches. Each of us has to discover what our triggers to life are; because, the combustion of one of the matches feeds the soul. If there is no trigger for the matches, the match box gets damp, and we'll never be able to light any of them. There are many ways in which we can dry a damp match box. Rest assured, it can be solved. It's also very important to light the matches one by one. If an intense emotion were to light them all at once, they would create such a brilliant light, that before our eyes a tunnel would appear, magnificent, showing us the way we forgot when we were born. Calling us back to find our lost divine origin.

    • Chencha: I'm about to go crazy. She has nobody to order around, so I get it all! And she even gives me advice. She says that disobedient women that leave their houses end up in the troubled waters of the lustful life.
