LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE

This was some movie. There were alot of emotions in this one for me. Alot of anger towards the mother for treating her daughter like that. Towards the end she got hers. Anyway lets talk about the movie.

Tita was this little girl who grew up into a beautiful woman that had a mother that hated her. Tita had this boy Pedro that was interested in her and she in him but it was not going to happen that way. Tita being the youngest daughter her duty was to look after her mother Ela till she dies. So when he asked for her hand in marriage she told him that he could have Rosauro instead. He agreed so that he could be close to Tita. While making the batter for the wedding Tita was crying in to the batter because she was missing the love of her life. While at the wedding, everyone who had eaten the food started crying and started missing the loves of their lives, they got up and had to run for the river to vomit-talk about magic realism.

After three months of being married Pedro and Rosauro finally consemated their marriage. Rosauro cooks dinner and Pedro brings roses to Tita for the one year anniversary of being the Ranch cook. Tita makes rose soup out of the roses and this makes everyone very sexual, Gertrudis takes off running to the shower and she starts taking a shower and steam starts pouring out of the shower. Then she takes off running and this rebel comes riding in on a horse picks her up and takes her away.

Tita delivers Rosauro's baby and a Doctor John comes and checks on the mother and the baby, the baby is great and the Rosauro is sick. Tita helps take care of the baby and she breast feeds the baby. Dr.John flirts with Tita and she informs him that she will never be able to marry or have kids since she is the one that has to take care of her mother till she dies. Once the baby is better Ela tells Pedro and Rosauro to move away. Once they are gone there is only Tita to take care of the mother, who is so mean to her. They get news that Roberto the baby died because it would not eat once they moved away. Tita went crazy and started knitting again. Every time Tita was upset she knitted. When Dr.John came to get Tita her blanket that she had knitted was almost 100 ft long. Tita did not speak to anyone and Chencha came and seen her and gave her magic broth. Tita finally spoke and smiled. Tita finally felt like her hands were free of her mother orders and they were like birds that could fly away. Dr.John proposes to Tita and she accepts.

Back at the Ranch there was a gang of men that came raping Chencha and throwing Ela down a
ravine and killing her. Tita comes to the funeral and finds a box of letters that her mother had. Tita sees that her mother loved someone else and that was why she was bitter. Rosauro is pregnant again and has the baby early, Dr.John had to do surgery on her and she will not have any more kids after this one. Rosauro stays and helps with the baby and Dr.John goes back home. Tita and Pedro finally meet and they make love to each other and fireworks are happening. Tita thinks she might be pregnant and she sees a vision of her mother and Ela curses the baby. Tita tells Pedro that she thinks that she is pregnant and he is excited. He wants to leave with her. He gets drunk and statrts singing and catches fire. Dr John comes back and helps take care of him. Tita tells him that she cannot marry him because she slept with Pedro and he does not care, he will marry her anyway.

Twenty four years later Esperenza is getting married, Rosauro had died and Tita did not marry Dr.John. Tita is making chilis with love in her heart and everyone at the wedding who was eating the chilis started getting very sexual and going crazy. Dr.John leaves, the wedding couple leave and finally Pedro and Tita can be together. He carries her to the bed they make love and he dies because all of the matches were lit at once. Tita ate some matches and set fire to herself and the Ranch.


In the end I had hoped they could finally be together. It was very sad to see that she had only a few moments of happiness. It was like it was her destiny to never have love or be happy.
