como agua para chocolate I love her purely and I would label her a "good movie". And what I said is good, only because I have requirements for the details of the film, she has them, and she is very moved in every place, and she is heartbroken to me. The whole movie is about cooking, what I'd like to call "the recipe for life" or "the recipe for Tita's life." She pays more attention to the emotional aspect, combining each different dish that comes out. Like at Pedro and Rosaura's wedding, every guest was not spared from eating the cake, crying with excessive grief, and thinking endlessly about the love of their life, even the cruel mother. Because the person who made the cake couldn't love her, her sadness was integrated into the dish, and her emotions were contagious. Once again, when Pedro gave Tita the bouquet of roses, it was after conveying to him the love that would not change his heart even when he got married. Tita used it to make that quail with rose sauce, and roses are synonymous with love and romance. Eating this dish will stimulate hormones and feel the beauty of love. Therefore, the illegitimate daughter Gertudis, the representative of passion, is completely sexy, she is the symbol of passion and wildness in love. Complementing the unbreakable love, she finally found the love that belongs to her. In the last part of the film, at Esperanza's wedding, after each pair ate "food made with love", they couldn't help but have a physiological reaction, which is not the expression of human beings' instinctive desires as animals. It is conceivable that this is another pair of lovers who have accumulated love.

As detailed in the film, every time someone asks Tita for the secret recipe for a dish, she says, it's food made with love. Not an absurd expression, but a more emotional cognition. Tita, who lives seriously and loves cooking, has expressed the ups and downs of her life and her rich feelings in dishes. This is an advanced expression. Every time I think of this, the plot that comes to my mind is a medieval woman, humming a little song and cooking a small dish in the warm kitchen, and there is a pot of delicious soup on the fire. Lift the lid of the pot, and the scented mist rises up... This is another important reason why I like this movie, because it always reminds me of many emotional images. For me, this is happiness. Tita has a habit of knitting when she is sad, she wants to knit a fabric that covers her whole body. Divide the film into three parts, before Tita leaves home, before marrying Pedro, and after marriage. Her life before she left home was torture, and this period was also the time when she was the most sad and the most diligent in weaving. This can be seen in the close-up of the film when she leaves home and takes her fabric, which is very long and has almost no end. She put on the fabric and left the house without taking other more things, which means that she can't take it, because of her low family status, she may not be eligible to own even a small thing The youngest daughter, this one also showed a strong contrast with the big sister's family when she took away large and small luggage. She can only take the fabric, the fabric is woven by herself, and the fabric represents the endless sadness she takes away. Dr. Brown truly loved her, and was the benefactor who brought her out of grief, pain, and entanglement. There are several times in the movie. When Tita got rid of her mother, she was more calm. She was a bird who had just been released from the shackles. She could not speak, and speaking represented terrible sadness. It was her nanny who could heal her wounded and cold heart, so she thought about the things she had with her when she was a child, including the one about making firewood together. Therefore, the doctor's explanation is also a sublimation of the film. "Each of us needs to find our own spark." This was the first time the doctor took her out of sorrow and sin. There is also food that heals the soul, which is what this film has always wanted to show. After drinking the beef soup sent by Chencha, Tita was completely healed, which also meant that her first part was over. The second part isn't about the engagement with the doctor, it's supposed to be about the love with Pedro, and again the doctor takes her out of her guilt and uncertainty. Even if he is doomed to lose her in the end. By then Tita no longer needed fabric. Until the last time the fabric appeared, after Pedro died, Tita took it out of the box, covered them both and burned them together. Take it out of the box, it means that the sadness is sealed, and now the sadness is burned. Love to the depths, the firewood in life will burn together.

I think the film turns life into a recipe, because life is supposed to be ups and downs, bittersweet, salty, and salty. We will experience everything, and with the blessing of fire, the last dish will be presented. Maybe you can also write down the dishes, because inheritance is more important!

    Love is like a dream. You can't always remember when it started.

  • Chencha: Don't do that, my child. They are like the devil. They say that one look from them and you get pregnant.

  • Bisnieta: [voiceover] She invaded Pedro's body voluptuously, ardently fragrant, and utterly sensual. It seemed they had discovered a new code of communication, and Tita was the transmitter, Pedro the receiver, and Gertrudis was the lucky one, within whom this sexual relation was synthesized through food.
