"Very good... but not my favourite."
-Roux
Chocolat'
2000
Often at times we taste something so decadent and sweet that we forget what is so sinfully delicious. Knowing the sweet tooth of another, and indulging the mind and senses with taste is the secret to satisfaction and of course...chocolate.
In a setting of a French countryside, tranquility and aspiration combine for the ultimate term of romance. When you add Johnny Depp and chocolate you get the film, Chocolat. We see Johnny as a mysterious man with a vivid palate and a passion for taste.
"I thought you'd never guess. My favourite - hot chocolate." -Roux
This film embarks traditionalism on a different scale. The film enlists perception on a deeper scale. What one knows of something is what someone knows less of someone else. The trouble begins when you've realized you've missed out on something so torturous to your heart, and so devastating to ones soul.
If you've never tasted chocolate before, I have heard it is sinfully exceptional. I have heard it is mouth watering and pristine. I have heard it melts the hearts of a woman and satisfies the craving of desire. With the variations in chocolate and the combination of love, this film inspires us all to take a little taste into the unknown... or at least somewhat of the known and before judgment, let your palate explore and summarize the emotions.
Life is made up of different ingredients. Some make us completely fulfilled, while others lack a certain sweetness or even saltiness.
We take each rendition of ones environment as security into their opinion of circumstance. Life, love, intrigue, passion, desire, and even chocolate effect us in many different environments. When it is the right time for a savory dessert we indulge. When it is the right time for a salty treat we succumb. When love hands you satisfaction, you must embrace, because finding that sweetness depends on the environment in which you compete.
Think about competition. Think about how one competes just cause with just assumption.
If the assumption is that seduction begins with the palate, how does seduction end? Perhaps with memory? Perhaps with recollection? Either way, we make our own rules for behavior because we all know that sweet; whether it be on your palate, in your heart, or past your soul. That sweet is complete; we must challenge that happiness each time we forget what a sweet piece of chocolate taste like. We must remember the seduction rolling off our tongues and the memory of our first taste of passion.

Most in the film resisted this delightful, magical touch of happiness that moved unexpectedly into their world -- at first, but not for long! Delightful!!
Rated.
Dr. Spudman.. I love that I inspire some. Hopefully you too!
Thanks Julie!!! .... sweet and saltiness is defined in Juliette and Johnny beautifully. You are correct, the unexpected led audiences to a whimsically treat of sweet satisfaction.
Linda, thanks you my dear.
