What kind of people hate chocolate?

Are you full of hatred and fear for chocolate's rich cocoa flavor, golden color and sticky posture, or are you eager for her girlish sweetness and the start of low-grade fever induced by cocoa?

It seems that Juliette Binoche's movies never let me down. Even after leaving Kislovski, Polanski and other European movie master, Juliet came to Hollywood. Binoche, a Juliette Binoche who is nearly forty years old, is still looking for evidence of settlement in her frivolous wandering life, just like Teresa in The Unbearable Lightness of Life. She is like a wizard who has no place to live, taking her chocolate to a country town. To the villagers who are absent-minded in the church and listen to the "three stresses" mass of the little priest every Sunday, it brings a desire to start a low fever and a courage to break through the moral utopia.

The young priest was so young that he twisted the famous "Preston's crotch" while sweeping the floor. Therefore, the weekly "three stresses" movement is actually dominated by "people with beards behind their backs" (mayors who are proficient in history). The mayor hates chocolate.

When Juliet's chocolate shop was about to open, he was keenly aware of the "unstable factors in the bud". He told people everywhere that morality was challenged by pagans (this woman is not religious and never goes to church). Juliet, like a snake, came to the "Garden of Eden" in this French village, holding all kinds of chocolates again, and said to Eve and Adam, "Eat, eat, your eyes will light up, and you will know good and evil like a fairy."

In the eyes of the mayor, emotional chocolate constitutes the second original sin. His task is to thoroughly eliminate the "spiritual pollution" from pagans and safeguard this moral ideal country with an ancient history and glorious tradition under his rule. In his mass draft of The Godfather of Teenagers, the mayor tried to review the beauty of simple life and kindly pointed out that "morality is not as pure and bright as chocolate", but it is a gift from God and a ladder to heaven.

The picturesque town in the film is actually not a moral utopia that strictly adheres to the principle of "the unity of politics and religion". There is also a decentralized superstructure. There is a mayor, a parliament, and a church that listens to people's inner confession. Just like Geneva under Calvin. This movie is actually a fable about how chocolate defeated Calvinism and how the power of chocolate conquered Calvinists (bearded mayor) who hated him.

If you are not in France, you can also change Calvinism into another word.

Three lectures a week (about God, morality, gratitude? Exercise still can't stop the emotional temptation of chocolate. More and more citizens fell in love with the strong cocoa flavor and began to have a low-grade fever.

Chocolate has become a white knight who has freed people from the bondage of life, a lubricating oil to communicate family ties and estrangement, and even an aphrodisiac to change marital apathy. People began to dance and laugh, and the 70-year-old man bravely pursued the yellow love he had dreamed of for many years. Chocolate, great chocolate. Come like the great Caesar, "I came, I saw, I conquered". Between color and fragrance, it is so easy to break the integrity of thought.

Why does chocolate pose a threat to "ruling the country by virtue" in the eyes of a Calvinist? Is chocolate just a symbol of lust? A woman obsessed with chocolate may be a natural slut, a "material girl" that Madonna advertises on T-shirts. And men actually like chocolate and let go of the door of the scourge. Chocolate makes morality begin to abuse itself, and makes rulers wary of public laughter in deep houses.

Just like a school where I once stayed, the principal burst out laughing as soon as he saw two faculty members whispering together. He felt inexplicable panic and a sense of frustration that the situation was out of control. When everyone can grasp his life with the help of the mysterious power of chocolate more and more, only the mayor who is proficient in history begins to lose control of his rule.

But for us, the ending is like a fairy tale. The mayor of no way back came in the dead of night with a murder weapon and destroyed Juliet's chocolate shop in despair. A miracle happened when chocolate chips accidentally splashed on the mayor's lips. Calvinists are fascinated by delicious chocolate. He hungrily took off the forbidden fruit, threw away the weapons surrounded by chocolate, and surrendered to the strong cocoa flavor and the desire to start a low-grade fever. At Easter Mass, the young godfather finally put down the manuscript of Caesar's for Caesar and God's for God drafted by the dictator and gave his first real sermon to the citizens. Although some people are secretly eating chocolate, no one is so serious.

Chocolate, not destroyed, has created a Garden of Eden. An Eden without God and Calvin, a golden home where good wishes began to burn.

I sincerely hope that such a film was made by Zhang Yimou, but unfortunately it wasn't.
