Movie - 12, Like Water for Chocolate

Como Agua Para Chocolate (1992)
by
Alfonso Arau

Movie Seen: 18 July 2015
Note Written: 25 July 2015


When we were about to have dinner and were searching for movies to watch, Priscilla said, let's watch 'Like Water for Chocolate', and I agreed. I thought, this name rings a bell somewhere. Ten minutes through the movie I realized that I had seen it once in EFLU Campus, during a movie screening session.I also remembered the climax was something which I had not liked then. I hadn't liked the movie too. But then, I decided to sit through the movie and see what Priscu says of the movie. She didn't like it as well. There were many moments in the movie which were funny and good and some of the performances were nice too. But the climax really destroys everything, I felt- so does the guy who played the hero, such bad acting! I really like the girl who played Tita- a job very well done. I hope I remember the name and the film from now on, so that I don't end up watching it again.

  1. If you read the book you will feel very hungry. At least I did. But then again I get hungry often :P
