When i first started watching the film “Chocolat”, i thought i was going to be sitting through two hours of straight boredom. About 15 minutes into the film I realized that I was wrong. There was something about the chocolate of the film that even made me the viewer get my spirits lifted up. My mouth could not help but to begin to water when the main character of the film began talking about all of the different types of chocolate that she made. I was sold when she mentioned the spicy chocolate. With that being said if the chocolate of the film had that much of an impact on me, someone who is just viewing the film then it certainly had a huge effect on the other characters in the film. The chocolate plays a very important role in the film. In my opinion the chocolate of the is very similar to
that of the fruit that was bitten by Adam and Eve in the bible. The reason why i say this is because it's as if everyone in town is in complete darkness and they are so focused on following the orders
of their religion, but once they take a bite of the chocolate they begin to see the light and break out of the habits that they were called upon to do and they now begin to do what they want to do and
they truly live their lives. For instance the wife that was getting abused by her husband probably
would have never rebelled against him if she had never eaten a piece of the chocolate. Also while watching this film I learned a lot more about french culture. In french culture it seems to me that the romantic love they have for each other is more passionate than that of other cultures. You can see this in many different couples throughout the movie. Overall this was a very good movie and I would definitely recommend watching it. Although I still am very curious as to what Roux’s favorite chocolate is.
