Chocolat Character Analysis
Chocolat is a romantic comed-drama based on the novel of Joanne Harris, and directed Lasse Hallström. The movie stars Juliet Binoche, Judi Dench, Alfred Molina, Lena Olin and Johnny Depp. One day, Vianne and her daughter, Annouk arrive in a conservative French village to open a chocolate shop. First, the people are hostile not only because of she is a stranger, but because of the season of Lent. Vianne has to face many difficulties because of the influential mayor. Eventually, she manages the make friends and change the attitude of the whole town with the help of her amiable personality and her delicious chocolate creations. I think there was a perfect harmony between the actors and the roles they were playing. Every character was loveable and although most of them were they just supporting actors they managed to the movie would not be the same without them. I also liked the villain of the movie; I think Alfred Molina did a great job …show more content…
The majority of the melodies is breath-taking and matches the mysterious story of Vianne.
All the characters were loveable. Everyone will find his or her favourite whether it is a passionate and confident woman, a sweet little girl, a wise old lady, a sensible woman or an irresistible “bad guy”.
Chocolat reminds me of a sweet fairy tale. The beautiful town and its atmosphere makes me want to spend my summer vacation in a tiny French town. I would like to live there, wear their clothes and just be part of their community
Chocolate may seem like a simple movie, but it is very complex. It makes us think about acceptance in general, living life to the fullest, relaxing, religion, domestic violence and other important topics. Chocolate may be suitable for a girl night or even date, but I highly recommend this movie for everyone who wants to relax a little or cheer up. Chocolate may be suitable for a girl night or even

    After watching the movie, the first feeling reflect in my brain was cherish. The reason of saying that is because the setting of the movie background. In this movie, one of the the biggest bright spot is the human loss of free. Not only physical. Human’s thought was also limited. For example, one of the scene in the early stage of the movie. Winston forced to do the aerobics. The coach can monitor their action by the telescreens.…

    Robert Duvall did an excellent job playing the role as Bull Meecham- or the ‘Great Santini’. He has a very tough love relationship with his family. Then there was Blythe Danner who plays Lillian; she also did an fantastic job with her character. Even though in the book she had red hair, and in the movie she was a blonde, they displayed her as the same woman who has a big heart, and has to help her family get through hard times with him. Last but not least Michael O’Keefe was my favourite character; I was most impressed by his performance in the movie matching so carefully the character in the book. There was a character in the movie that they had left out though- it was Sam Wertzberger, I thought he would have been a great addition to the movie especially because he was such an important character- he showed that people would discriminate against religion. Having Stan Shaw, as Toomer Small in the movie was good because Toomer’s character and what he went through showed how injustice racism…

    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    People say that Canada lacks a unique identity, but Strange Brew took this opinion as a challenge with its extreme, satirical exaggeration of the stereotypical Canadian. Everything from the language to clothing is a Canadian exaggeration. The plot takes a Canadian pastime, beer, and revolves the story around it. What this really shows is the true identifier for Canadians, the ability to be at the butt end of our own joke. From the toque to the skates and all the Canadian stereotypes in between, scratch Strange Brew and it bleeds red and white.…

    In Chocolat, I learned that food has magical power that engages and connects people and brings them into good relations. Vianne and her daughter were not welcomed in a conservative and religious town at beginning, however her chocolate had magical power to melt those peoples’ cold attitude and they became drawn into her chocolate, even that stubborn pastor Reynaud who had strong hostile feeling against Vianne did so at the end. I liked the part that Reynaud couldn’t resist to break in her store and try all the chocolates before Easter Sunday. “It is like one of my dreams. I roll in chocolates. I imagine myself in a field of chocolates, on a beach of chocolates, basking-rooting-gorging. I have no time to read the labels; I cram chocolates…
