      Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will tasteWritten on 2009.4.30

      "Chocolate" takes place in an ancient town in France. The town was old-fashioned, lifeless, and imprisoned until the mysterious stranger Vianne (played by Juliet Binoche) opened a lovely chocolate shop opposite the church. And the chocolates she makes are just as irresistible as her free-spirited and sensitive personality. She seems to have magical powers, she can understand the hearts of every customer in the town, make chocolate sweets that best meet their needs, satisfy...

      magic chocolate

      It is extremely difficult to change the old ideas of the people around you, let alone under the opposition of power.

      Wei An is really strong, alone, with her daughter, and wandering around.

      The title sequence sees her coming to a dirty house, starting to tidy up, build the house, and paint the walls blue and paint on it. The courage of the earl to fight, and the courage to fall in love with the captain who was rejected by the villagers.

      The north wind is coming, the sweetness of chocolate is coming

      What is the most irresistible taste that people can't resist? I think sweetness is the innate pursuit of human beings, and sweets will stimulate the secretion of dopamine, thus reaching a happy orgasm. Yesterday, my friend happened to emo, and she gave up the trip to the gym to accompany her to wander around the city aimlessly. She was still a little sluggish when she was eating the Mala Tang for dinner, but when we queued up on the subway, she ate the first one. After the...

      I heard a new chocolate shop opened in the town

      The sacred mission was interrupted by the wind and snow, and two outsiders came to the gate of the town.

      The woman in red and her daughter rented the only pastry shop in the village and turned it into a chocolate shop. No matter from the decoration of the house or her words and deeds, it all reveals changes and new life.

      "I brought surprises, not pastries," she said.

      A woman whose passion has been wiped out by life....

      Chocolate is a deep affection for yourself, don't refuse, eat it!

      What does chocolate and church (God's will or fasting) mean? Chocolate is the indulgence of the soul, and it also gives one's own rules and depression. One bite to satisfy different people's different favorites seems to be telling the fun and nobility of each soul. What a sacred thing it was! But there is a voice fighting against it. This is a temptation that cannot be eaten. This suffering must endure the apparent self-discipline, but in fact the inner humility, but all of this is wrapped...

      It seems that the heroine is a metaphor for Protestantism, and the earl is a metaphor for Catholicism. . . Depp, pure soy...

      Binoche really has that kind of warm smile of the beautiful sunshine. What is Depp going to make a fuss about! ! ! Completely fascinated! ! ! All five-star movies with Depp are totally irrational, I know I'm a nympho! !...

      A fairy tale-like story, a fairy tale-like color, a fairy tale-like character, a fairy tale-like ending, and a fairy tale-like narration, constitute such a fairy tale-like movie. The old and new worlds, the conflict of beliefs, the reconstruction of ideas, and the gap between classes are melted into a fairy tale with a rich and mellow chocolate...

      Only by injecting Edjok can people's already cold hearts be melted. In fact, their minds should realize: the rule is that the dead recognize the living, why can't people live a little more dashingly? ? ? The loss of control of Mr. Count scared me, but the repressed sum is always uncontrollable, or did he have an epiphany? ? ?...

    Movie quotes

    • Boy #1: I hear she's an atheist.

      Boy #2: What's that?

      Boy #1: I don't know.

    • Père Henri: I'm not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. Do I want to speak of the miracle of Our Lord's divine transformation? Not really, no. I don't want to talk about His divinity. I'd rather talk about His humanity. I mean, you know, how He lived His life, here on Earth. His *kindness*, His *tolerance*... Listen, here's what I think. I think that we can't go around... measuring our goodness by what we don't do. By what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create... and who we include.

    • Roux: I'll come 'round sometime and get that squeak out of your door.
