Recently, I thought of wandering and wandering, and suddenly I thought of the movie I watched recently, which was more impressive, called "Chocolate". At that time, Johnny Depp was still very clear, but he seemed to have an inherent pirate temperament, which was still very unique and obvious. In this film, the pirates mix a little bit like a rat and a human voice across the street. Juliette Binoche's chocolate shop is the only one in town that serves him, and the two of them smell fishy. They are all people who are rejected in the town, and they all have temperaments that will not be assimilated by the outside world. I think this is probably the fuse that brought the two of them together. The other key is that they all have the same blood flowing in their bodies - wandering. They are all rootless, and they are people who do not want to be rooted. The Chinese say that their homeland is hard to move, but this seems a bit ridiculous for these two people. The world's conventions have become stupid and ridiculous things in their eyes. Following the rules will lead to destruction, and only by breaking the stereotypes can you save yourself. Juliette Binoche seems to be an angel sent by God to rescue many villagers who have been disciplined by dogma.

She used the mysterious compass to judge people's tastes, which seemed to liberate human nature. I wonder if the director wanted to show that people's preferences should be determined by themselves, and people's fate should be in their own hands. But in my opinion, Juliette Binoche's whole method of selling chocolate is very creative, and it is a more gimmicky selling point. Compared with Keanu Reeves, who also sells chocolates in "A walk in the Clouds", the method is more diversified. Another point is that Keanu Reeves did not sell chocolates, he poured the whole thing upside down, and Pretending to be his father and fighting fires, he was so busy that he didn't do anything serious. In the end, he was a beautiful woman, but I always felt that he was too melancholy. He didn't have the energy of Juliette Binoche. He was full of optimism and sunshine , always facing the brightest side of the sun.

In this film, chocolate is interpreted as a code to interpret human character. In fact, it is not chocolate that enters people's hearts. It is just a means. It is Juliette Binoche's sincere heart, and to observe it To experience, to care, she resolves those hearts that have been frozen for a long time, no matter how tough those people seem on the surface, they also have soft nerves that can be melted at a touch.

In fact, I have seen this film for a while, but suddenly I feel that there is British hypocrisy and humor, as well as British self-mockery, coupled with Juliette Binoche's agile temperament; although Johnny Depp is no longer in Tim Burton's film Rigothian exaggerated character, but it made me feel his true side, fresh and not inferior, so I am undrawn, free and loose, although at the end of the film, the protagonist is still in a corner, giving up his wandering life , but I began to look forward to it a little: the future... irresponsible... far travel, other places, where I want to live, uncertain... wandering.
