Chocolat

After watching this film, I rushed into the supermarket for the first time and found my long-lost chocolate beans, my favorite thing since I was a kid. I have a little time to discard them, because there is no perseverance and restraint, because of the physique of easy weight. But now. . No matter what, I need this sweetness, I want to be melted.

I think of communicating with LW in college. Although our two schools are not far away, we can also call and even meet and chat, but we still like to write letters. Write about your own life, write about each other's feelings about various things, and even share movies and lyrics. That innocent friendship also disappeared due to graduation, but the last letter he received was accompanied by a bag of Yikoulian. He said: "You have chocolate candy in your mouth. Read my letter. It's best to lie on the bed. Inside, but beware of worms." Hehe, this is so cute, this is sweetness that has nothing to do with love.

Okay,

let’s start talking about the movie: Viann Roxelle (Juliet Binoche) and her daughter Aino come to a quiet town, where we believe in God. If you don’t pray in this conservative place, Then it will be regarded as an outlier, and everything will follow the rules. Therefore, people are living with a false heart and depression.

Vian Luoxue rented the house of her lonely landlord, Amanda (Judy Dan) to open a chocolate shop. She has a keen insight into people's inner needs and makes all kinds of chocolates. And her enthusiasm and bravery were not accepted by the people in this town. People are actually full of curiosity about this foreigner, but they look like they are afraid to avoid it.

A woman walked into the store for the first time and tasted a kind of chocolate when she was kindly invited by Viann Roxue. She immediately liked it, and Viann Roxue gave her another kind of chocolate suitable for her husband. . The woman knew that her husband was an alcoholic. After her disapproval, who would have thought that her husband accidentally ate the chocolate she had thrown on the ground, and thus restored a harmonious marriage with her. This is the first beneficiary.

Josephine (Lenna Olin) has always been considered a lunatic and a thief by the people in the town. No one knows that she has been beaten and abused by her husband, and she has become numb in the long-term loss of herself. She stole a piece of chocolate for the first time. Viann Roxelle didn't blame her, but gave her chocolate instead. Josephine then told Viann Roxue that she was already living in pain. (This paragraph is my favorite part, men are not all women, and in this situation can not be respected and loved) Viann Roxie said: "You have the right to choose your life." Joseph Fern ran away from her husband and went to Viann Roxue.

Wei An Luoxue told the mayor about this, and the mayor knew something about Wei An Luoxue. And transformed Josephine's husband. Let him go to the priest to confess, study the Bible, and study etiquette. Here to talk about the mayor: The mayor loves face and keeps concealing the news that his wife has eloped with others, and his heart is extremely depressed. But because of the family's responsibilities, he must act as a perfect leader in front of everyone. So he was full of hostility towards this outsider, thinking that she broke the old rules and broke the surface calm of this small town. It is difficult to change the nature of an adult man. After a drink, Josephine's husband revealed his nature again.

The landlord’s wife Amanda shouldn’t be alone. She has daughters and grandsons, but she cannot meet her grandson because of their mother-daughter disagreement. The kind-hearted Viann Roxelle arranged for her grandson to give her grandmother a portrait to create a chance for them to meet. The nature of children and the elderly should not be hidden by indifference.

One day, there was a boat docked in the town, and it was a pirate in people's impression. The people in the town wanted to drive these people away, and every store posted an unwelcome note, and only Viann Roxue was willing to become friends with them. Our male protagonist Gypsy Locks (Jonny Depp) is on the court. The two of them have a good opinion of each other. On the 70th birthday of the landlord's wife, Amanda, Viann Roxelle organized a happy PART for her. Those who had been in contact with Viane Roxelle were invited to participate. Everyone enjoyed a chocolate meal happily. Everyone is not restrained or pretending, everyone is very happy. The happy old man also passed away in the care of his grandson.

A lot of eloquent talk, in fact all nonsense, because everyone goes to see it, it is far more touching than what I said.

And what I'm going to talk about is the woman Vian Luoxue. The film does not say where her daughter came from (people still reject this unmarried mother in feudal ethics), but their mother and daughter are free, kind, and enthusiastic, which makes people feel full of vitality. No matter where they go, their lives are very refined. The red cloak windbreaker is particularly eye-catching in the gloomy sand, and the clinking wind chimes leave the footprints of life. In any unfamiliar place, they can adapt quickly, and are willing to be friends with anyone and help them with their own strength. And these, for women who have always been regarded as weak, are reluctant to solve their own problems, let alone help others? (I mean in our lives)

Until today, people may not treat unmarried mothers with kindness. In this way, people who break the routine and different life trajectories will always be labeled, misunderstood, and rejected. Although Viann Roxue inherited her maternal and wandering personality, she was actually looking for the most suitable living environment and lifestyle. She is free, it can be said that she takes her home with her, and she has the ability to build a home in any environment. This is more alive than the pirate Gypsy Locks (Jonny Depp) he met who made the ship his home. When Lockes (Johnny Depp) comes out, we should know that they are the most suitable pair.

Locks (Johnny Depp) is a prodigal son. He is the most charming when he plays the guitar by the boat, and he looks like a father with a family when he repairs the door. Therefore, what we often call the "man with the same wind" is actually that we have not met a woman who is worth staying. In the end, he returned to Vian Luoxue's side. From then on, the town was full of laughter, tranquility and peace.

This film is positioned as'love' and I feel very'inspiring'. Although the title of the film is chocolate, I didn't mention the chocolate in the film. I think everyone should experience this sweet taste once. Maybe chocolate is magically transformed into a taste that suits anyone; or maybe you look forward to being melted by love that is sweeter than chocolate.

    Storyteller: In this village, if you saw something you weren't supposed to see, you learned to look the other way.
