I really enjoyed Like Water for Chocolate. This surprises me, as this is not usually the
type of movie I enjoy. I tend to find
that these movies are overly dramatic and just annoying to watch. With this film however the characters and
their reactions to different situations even the magical ones, are very believable. This movie is very well written. You hate the characters you’re supposed to
hate and love the characters you are supposed to love. The two extremes I think being the mother and
the doctor respectively. The mother is
truly diabolical although she not just evil like Lady Tremaine you can see her
motivations and she actually has good reason to do what she does at least in
that culture. In the case of the doctor
he’s such a stand up guy that you can't help but love him however he is not
just the goody two-shoes type character that we usually see in this role he’s
very real and believable. I also like
that the doctor and Tita don't end up together and you are fine with it. The rest of the film is well written but I think
that these points really showcase what makes it a great film.
