It is estimated that the designer of the poster just listened to the poster designed by the name of the movie, and mistakenly thought that the love between Johnny and Juliette was the core of the story. Or maybe the poster is just a gimmick to tempt young couples. Love is definitely not the theme here.
Abstinence or indulgence, that is the question.
When the bitter north wind blew into the village, the people of the village were doing mass as usual. Juliette and her daughter walked into the town wearing thick bright red trench coats, which was in great contrast to the cold wind. Perhaps this is the simplest metaphor.
The village is a conservative traditional village, the status of the earl is unshakable, and even the priest at that time obeyed only his orders. On a day of fasting, in a town like this, it would be out of place to open a chocolate shop with a strong aroma. The war between chocolate and ascetic thoughts begins here. . . The first person to actually walk into the chocolate shop was an insulin-injected diabetic woman. But is it wrong to believe that all viewers will agree with their actions and live the rest of their lives happily? Likewise, now that you have cancer, it is much better to die happily than to live in pain. Even at the time of the burial, the priest accused him of indulging himself and unable to escape the temptation.
The village's conservative traditions are also reflected in their boycott of "river rats," a group of entertainers who wander along the river. Even thinking that it is immoral to contact them is completely unfounded, probably entirely because of the social atmosphere at the time. And fragrant chocolate will not resist because of people's differences. Because of this, I believe that when the chocolate melted in Johnny's mouth, what he experienced was probably more than pure sweetness. So there is a strong "love" word. Of course, this is only the most direct love words.
Perhaps the pain is the tears that drip when the two minds of abstinence and indulgence are twisted together.
As the most conservative earl, this feudal person who did not even allow the priest to make any mistakes, when he fell into the chocolate lake with a sharp knife, he was absolutely disappointed that he could not find himself. The dazed affection was almost insane. At the moment when the pieces of chocolate splashed into his lips, he was obsessed like a bolt from the blue, frantically stuffing the chocolate into his mouth, like an ignorant child, even if he wiped his face, he didn't care at all. So, in this battle of Christ and chocolate, he was conquered.
What chocolate has brought to this village is beyond words. When the north wind blew again, Juliette said that chocolate powder was scattered into the air. There are battels yet to be fought.
