warmth

A snowstorm revealed the veil of this French town. The French-style buildings without gorgeous colors and the still sleeping quiet streets seem to be another world away from the world.
There were no tall buildings, and it seemed that the snowstorm had overwhelming momentum. The white background set off the two red cloaks so vividly that even their arrival made people feel unusual.
A mysterious woman with a cute little girl, a mysterious chocolate shop, silently attracts the residents of the town, but because of the deep-rooted traditional thinking, the residents are full of curiosity, but they are afraid that they will be "sullied" by stepping into this shop. ' their innocence.
The heroine Vianne is a strong and beautiful woman and a kind single mother. France is romantic, chocolate is romantic, how attractive is a French woman who is good at making delicious chocolate? Wei An's frown and smile, every word of her, echoed with an elegant temperament that was not only described by perfect. She can accurately guess the taste of customers, and
she will add chili peppers to the cocoa, which is said to be a mysterious ingredient. Reminds me of a comic once, where the heroine could cast spells in chocolate and make the person who ate it fall in love with the person who gave it. Wei An has no magic, but she has really made the people around her accept her and fall in love with her.
Nothing in the world is smooth, including integrating into a strange and conservative environment. Wei'an's initial situation was not smooth. The mayor took the lead in encouraging the residents to exclude Wei'an, and even cursed that she would leave this small town before Easter. The town, however, Vivian fought back firmly. She treated every customer gently and politely. She took in the eccentric woman who was abused by her husband and excluded from the neighbors, and enlightened the old lady who lived a decadent and grumpy character. Maybe she not only uses her delicious chocolate to impress the people around her, but also uses her unique thought and character!
Vianne's daughter, Anuk, left the deepest impression on me. The little girl has a very typical French appearance and has a ladylike temperament. Her smile is innocent, and she has a pitying expression when she is sad. I can't bear to see her wandering around again. Anuk has a small kangaroo that can't walk. She will use the kangaroo to express her thoughts indirectly. At the end of the film, the kangaroo appears for the first time. Looking happily at the back of the resuming jumping wallaby, I began to think, is there really such a kangaroo, or is it an imaginary childhood playmate of Anouk because of his loneliness? And because he no longer needs to wander, let this "kangaroo" go to find his dream?
The appearance of Rox, the gypsy wanderer, added a touch of excitement to Vivian's life. The residents hated the wanderers, and even called them beasts. Only Vivian accepted them, but because of some stupid residents, Rox lived there. The ship was burnt down, and Wei An wanted to leave because of self-reproach, but because of the encouragement of the kind-hearted residents who would be influenced, she was determined to stay here forever. Locks also came back here after leaving in a hurry, so the ending of the story was It is a beautiful woman and a handsome gentleman living happily together, and they have found their home in this warm place.
I began to think that the price of growing up may be to leave the warm home one day and find another home of my own. Not everyone can make delicious chocolate like Vianne, and not everyone is as strong as Vianne and can face tomorrow with a smile, so happiness will be more rare, and the effort required will be more .
Juliette Binoche's perfect interpretation brought me a spiritual release, a kind of leisurely enjoyment. There are no big ups and downs in the plot, just the small climax when Johnny Depp appears is enough, Juliette's unique elegance The charm makes me truly see the charm of a French woman. Johnny's scenes are not many, but it will make people impressive. He also plays the leading role. He has a wicked and cynical temperament, but it makes Rocks look very gentleman. Johnny is holding the guitar and singing. The look reminded me of a wandering singer, and Johnny's dream of becoming a rock singer. Will I feel some satisfaction?
I think I still like fairy tales after all, and I still like happy endings.
