There is no reason not to choose happiness.

After watching "Chocolate" for Johnny Depp, I realized that this film is worth watching more than that. A movie that is loved is mostly because it really touches a soft spot in our hearts.

Encased in asceticism in the swirling snow, the tight-knit Lanskene is desolate. In this conservative French country town, people's repressed or hidden hearts are as dusty and bleak as the outside of the town. Fortunately, the north wind brought Vianne and her chocolate shop, Anna and the imaginary Pandolfo. The fragrant and rich chocolate quietly seeped through the door of resistance and penetrated into the depths of everyone's heart.

Armanda, a bohemian old lady, and her repressed daughter, Caroline; Josephine, who has endured an abusive and loveless marriage, and her brutish, impulsive husband, Sergey; the widow, Mrs. Aude, who indulges in grief; Secretly admiring her Geelong.... Under the influence of Wei An, and under the temptation of chocolate, people gradually break free from the shackles of their thoughts, open their hearts, and learn to add a bright touch to the gloomy life. People are beginning to understand that happiness is not a sin. As Father Amway said on Easter: "Our own virtues should not be measured by what we did not do, sacrificed, resisted, or rejected. Instead, we should accept, create, and tolerate. as a rule." Even the stodgy mayor, Count Reynolds, fell under the siege of chocolate. With just such a small mouthful, the desire buried deep in my heart spewed out and spread into every corner of the town like chocolate. As Count Reynolds feared, Vienne and her chocolates destroyed their traditional values ​​and lives, but it was not a terrible destruction, Lanskene became a town full of vitality and life.

Wei An inherited her mother's career and took Anna along the way, bringing delicious chocolate and a happy life to others. She is good at guessing other people's tastes, but she doesn't know what kind of life she wants. Until the appearance of Gypsy Locke, Vianne began to think about her desire for love and her desire for a stable life. Finally, she found her favorite. On the spring days, Beifeng was locked out of the window, and she chose to settle down happily.

If I could, I'd like to look at that spinning plate and see if I'd also see women on wild horses, teeth, blood, skeletons, or whatever.

    7.0/10. I don't know why I'm falling in love with this kind of film more and more now. The few scenes such as burning the boat just feel contrived. The behavior and motivation of the characters in the second half are more deliberately done by the director (such as the sudden change of the countess' attitude). And the Earl mistakenly tasted chocolate, etc.), it would be good if it was downgraded to a chocolate promotional film, and Depp was at most a supporting role.
