Chocolat (2000)

Let's be realistic.

Absolutely Fantastic

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A fable of emotional liberation and chocolate. A mother and daughter move to a small French town where they open a chocolate shop. The town, religious and morally strict, is against them as they represent free-thinking and indulgence. When a group of Boat Gypsies float down the river the prejudices of the Mayor leads to a crisis.

Every chocolate baked in the store has its own pleasure in it. This is one of the best movies that Depp has acted in (storyline- wise I mean).Two strangers moving in to a new town in the middle of France is an aspiring story of entrepreneurship.With a great combination of talent, desire, and ambition; this young single mother managed to push through the incumbency of a small city's arrogance and embrace the entire city with her delights.Such is the story of any ambitious entrepreneur who wishes to swim in seas full of sharks; in this case the shark is an arrogant official who must have been breastfed too much or not enough.Despite all the blockages, this young woman managed to gain the city's respect (including the official) by her astonishing business.Great plot and story from start to finish. Too bad movies like that don't exist anymore.

I think the movie was warm and enjoyable. I highly recommend this movie. I think the movie has secret fantastical elements. The fact that the mother and the daughter always change their place due to a some kind of tradition, and also the red cloaks, they wear during traveling, make the movie a little fantastical. I think this movie would be a good story to tell kids before they sleep:)I will tell mine if I have one:) Juliette Binoche had really a great performance. She lets the audience easily believe that she is such a warm and sweet person. It was touching that The grandmother and the grandson see each other secretly and love each other very much. When you see how happy they are together you just hate the mother, who separates them ruthlessly. Watch this movie and you will enjoy magical rural France without going there! You will find yourselves in a fairytale place.

This is truly a "Feel Good" movie. A movie that I love to watch and watch again and again, especially when I feel bad. A very nice story, full of sweetness and sweets. Great actors, beautiful music, very nice scenery. It shows a very nice small French village, very typical, very authentic. The characters are very interesting, each one got a specific character and even the "bad guys" can be "liked" in some ways. Every one has a special history. Well just a little touch of everything to make a delicious movie to watch alone or not :) And not to say that it speaks of CHOCOLATE and for a chocolate lover it's just the PERFECT "Feel Good" movie to watch with a real hot chocolate (with spicy pepper) !!!
