I saw an introduction to this movie on TV one day, and I heard a little about it before, so I looked it up on the Internet, but I didn't feel very good.
The proprietress of the chocolate shop always adds some chili peppers no matter how she makes chocolate. Does a little chili change so much? Actually, I'm still skeptical. And the food made with chocolate should be very greasy.
I feel that the movie wants to talk about a liberation of human nature. I always feel that it is too beautiful, just like calling for world peace to bring peace to the world. How can it be? At most, only myself can be changed. I feel that the movie is pale and powerless.
Sometimes foreign movies are similar to domestic ones, telling stories and truths that are out of tune, which makes people look inexplicable.
