The classic image on the poster: Juliette Binoche playfully feeding Johnny Depp a round of chocolate, but the movie itself tells a fairy tale that is bigger than love. It's just that it's not the fairy's magic wand that makes the splendid pumpkin carriage here, but the love-strength chocolates that play a catalytic role.
These velvety pixies evoke passion between couples in aloof relationships; appear on the doorsteps of old widows as mysterious gifts; console old women living alone in their final lives; A new meaning of life for a woman tortured by her husband... Even the mayor, represented by the "reactionary" forces, succumbed to its irresistible magic because a shard of chocolate jumped to his lips when he was destroying the shop. Finally, the whole town changed from a stone town wearing only black shoes to a colorful world, surrounded by a white dining table, enjoying a fairy tale world on a summer evening.
This is not an art film that taps into human nature and shows conflict. It's just so light, with teal melon and late summer morning scents. It's even a little novel - at the end of the film, the little priest finally preaches according to his own will: to measure our own virtues should not be based on what we don't do, sacrifice, resist, and reject as the criterion, but should be based on what we do. Accept, create, and include as a norm. But it is a small milk chocolate with mint borneol. It is the thirst for freedom and warmth that human nature has never left, making people happy.
On a whim, he also ran to the refrigerator, pulled out a plate of dark chocolate, broke a piece and put it in his mouth. Wow, that bitterness, 86% of the coca is really not covered, but just when it was about to be unbearable, the bitter taste faded out with a hint of the sweetness of sucrose. It seems that on a weekend afternoon with a gloomy mood for a few days, seeing a simple sketch like "Chocolat" is a warmth worth living for.
