A few years ago, in the tenth screening room, a film about food and love was released. At that time, I downloaded it with great enthusiasm, but it was "Chocolate" starring Juliet Binoche. Since then, it has always been unforgettable to send rose petals. The sense of happiness when entering the mouth of a woman may also have a complex of eating flowers because of this scene. As the genitals of plants, it emits fragrance, attracts bees and butterflies, and inherits the lineage. It is a gorgeous and enthusiastic shape of desire, and a delicate and dangerous devil breath. It feeds on it and takes beautiful women as the background. Meal, how can people not be fascinated.
Food is often used in movies to express desires and emotions: in the scene of a man and a woman drinking and eating each other in "Tom Jones", with the change of food and the more savage way of eating, it is clearly for the audience to watch a big sex scene; "Late Night Cafeteria" simply uses exquisite traditional snacks to heal the tired souls after returning late. A little obsession with food is a portrayal of my life; "Food Falls from the Sky" once made me fall into whether to invent ice cream from the sky or from the sky. The troubles of the potato chip machine, however; "The God of Cookery" uses the most mundane dishes to make the most rare delicacies. Under the cynicism, the wounded heart can only be comforted by the warmest home flavor; "Charlie and His Chocolate Factory" uses The most wonderful candy paints the question and stubbornness of a child for decades, and there is also sadness behind the most beautiful things.
"Chocolate Lover" is a Latin American work with strong magical colors. Under the overly depressed living environment and the turbulent social structure, people's emotions are different from so hot. Along with the different delicacies, the story develops. It also shows the growth of the heroine's mentality and the germination of feminist consciousness. The almost unbroken monologues and dialogues naturally combine the process of food cooking with the fermentation of emotions. At this moment, ordinary people are part of the important process of cooking food and turning it into food. The food is the most perfect at the moment it is just released, and then it dies. The love in the film is also combined after thousands of turns and then annihilated with fire.
This should be the first horse shock.
The film tells the story of the widow Elena who raised her three daughters to grow up alone. According to family regulations, the youngest daughter cannot marry and have children, and can only serve her mother until a hundred years later. The young Pedro, who was originally in love with his younger daughter Tita, agreed to marry the widow's eldest daughter after his proposal was rejected by the widow, in exchange for the chance to get along with his sweetheart day and night. In order to put an end to the infidelity between her sister-in-law and her brother-in-law, the widow sent her eldest daughter's family of three to live far away. The second daughter eloped and ran away from home. The life of the youngest daughter, Dita, was not as good as that of Cinderella...
There are a lot of plot settings in my opinion, it can be said that the thunder is rolling: if you can't marry you, you will marry your sister and you will call it sacrifice; you plan to marry the doctor who saves you, but you have sex with your brother-in-law if you don't agree; there is a chance to change your destiny However, he continued to serve the family and called it salvation; finally, after twenty-two years, his sister died and his niece got married, so he had sex with his brother-in-law Hongchen in a chic and unrestrained way... In terms of psychological description, this film is definitely a gourmet film As a model, the development of love is vivid and close to life by using food as a metaphor; but in terms of emotional transition, it is unconvincing, and even seems to be reversed for the sake of reversal. Fortunately, the limited brainpower of the plot makes up for the magical colors. The ferocious ghosts, the fireworks of death, the jumping time, and the virgin's milk have all become the embellishment of this poignant love.
The too thin character is also a major shortcoming of this film: the widow who gave birth to Tina in an affair with her lover is abominable in addition to sticking to clan rules; the eldest daughter, who is used as a love double, is almost silent after the only protest; the second daughter is taking a bath When the burning bathroom suddenly awakened, running to the soldiers naked was beautiful, but it was difficult to explain the reliability of the germination of feminist consciousness; although the youngest daughter Tina finally chose her own life and lover, she also gradually awakened under the guidance of her cuckold fiance. , and she chose her first love in the end, which confirms the heavy and unfair fate, and her character is not very good.
Tears cakes in sadness, rose feasts in happiness, a bowl of beef soup that brings back consciousness... these are fascinating, but I most want to know the satisfaction of burning one's body into a spark.
