little temptation

One night, he was invited to drink unripe cocoa with a pinch of chili, the very same drink the ancient Maya used in the secret ceremonies. The Maya believed cocoa have the power to unlock hidden yearnings and reveal destinies.

Loved it because, Cakes and chocolates are symbols of desire, and indulgence is a sin and depravity in religion; because wandering and wandering allow us to live without meeting the expectations of others, without caring about what others think, and trying to change.
In the end, the people of the small town compromise on chocolate, just like the wandering mother and the wandering captain compromise on the accepted stability and happiness.
And I am experiencing these two temptations at the same time, swaying my mind and will.

    I love Juliet Binoche, she's very real in this feminist movie, but she doesn't like the two blushes made by the makeup artist,,, it's too deliberate, eh. The part where johnny depp played guitar at the boat party blew me away! ! ! Since then I have a favorite actor!

    Just like the title of "Chocolate", this is a movie that is enough to witness the charming charm of chocolate, and the main line of contradiction between a liberal chocolate shop owner and an old dogma in a French town makes The movie is not only about the romance of love, but also about the liberation of human nature and the redemption of happiness in the face of the oppression of people by religious forces.

    [clears throat]

    Vianne Rocher: ... would you care to buy something special for your lady friend?

    Guillaume Blerot: Lady friend?

    Vianne Rocher: Mm-hmm, the lovely woman your dog was so fond of.

    Guillaume Blerot: [smiles] Oh.

    Vianne Rocher: Her favorite is chocolate seashells, that's my guess.

    Guillaume Blerot: Oh, no, I mustn't. Madame Audel is in mourning for her husband.

    Vianne Rocher: Oh. I'm sorry. When did he pass away?

    Guillaume Blerot: The war. German grenade.

    Vianne Rocher: Oh, I see. Well, it's been 15 years since the war, so surely...

    Guillaume Blerot: No, not that war. Monsieur Audel was killed on January the 12th, 1917. It was quite a blow to Madame Audel.

    Vianne Rocher: Apparently so.
