Pure Magic

Like Water For Chocalate is a purly magical picture. It is flawless and one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. It is a wonderful little foreign picture. This is something I have decided is great considering little foreign films are often much better than our stupid american films. Not that we don't occasionally get a gem but it's not very often. Like Water For Chocalate has a magical quality that seeps into the films body making it pure magic and one of the best love stories ever put on film. It and Casablanca, Wow.
The story is just pure and wonderful. It will have most people openly sobbing. I'm the only one I know who didn't cry when they saw it. The screenplay is also amazing with some of the best written characters ever put on film and some wonderful dialogue. The acting is also wonderful as is the direction and visual effects.
I loved this film and think you might to.
