Review of Chocolat (2000) by Valentina W — 13 Apr 2010
"What do you see?".
A beautiful film about a very conservative little town locked up in its tradition and stiff beliefs and is fully-controlled by its firm mayor and all his care about "morality". But is his concept of "morality" the best and right for all? Or is this just to keep traditions that are meant to be modified for good? These changed because of the inhabitance of a single mother and her daughter not under the mayor's power. She loves making chocolates and these sweets are forbidden as form of abstinence for the coming holy week. This movie shows a person making a difference, which is first frowned upon by the society because of those silly beliefs that locked them up into something they're not happy with. It was deeply moving. Even Vianne let her life be changed. Though the North Wind blew, she stayed. It's all about changes. Changes to make things better.
