I am writing this review because I am moved.
A movie that requires reading the original book to understand it.
Luckily, after reading the novel this afternoon, I watched the movie.
A Latin American magical realism work, this book is called "Como agua para chocolate", which is called the kitchen version of a hundred years of loneliness. It can be said that it combines love with food to complement each other.
The movie has a total of 100 minutes. It can be said that it only summarizes the novel. However, there are too many details in it, such as the glorious scene of John's grandmother Dawn, the friendship between Nacha and Tita, etc. There is not much development, mainly because of the lack of film. Allowed, coupled with the fact that China has directly deleted scenes that show too much love, the film seems to have a sudden stream of consciousness. I believe that everyone gradually closed the movie later. The novel actually reached a climax in the middle part. Whether it is the author's detailed description of the meals in the novel or the emotional line of each task, they are all wonderful. The film shows a little understanding in The explanations in the novel are clear and simple, but the insights into some of the profound Mexican culture in the novel are not covered in the movie. In fact, when the movie was only ten minutes into the film, my eyes were wet. When I saw Tita crying because she was forced to participate in the preparations for her lover's wedding, when Nacha cried in her arms, Nacha said to her, Cry now, my child, and I cry too. No child brought up by grandma will not be moved by this, until the end of the film, Tita is carried into the hut by Pedro, and it is also Nacha who has packed everything up for her beloved little girl, my tears are pattering drop down.
How long a person's love can last, how long a person can live in the hearts of others.
