In 1953, just prior to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the II, the police were trying to keep quiet a growing number of people who seemed to have their faces literally go blank (no eyes, mouth, nose, etc). ("The Idiot’s Lantern", Doctor Who, vlm 3 TV)

📽 Chocolat (2000)
I wasn’t a huge fan of this movie, but there was something about it that made me not be able to stop watching it. All of the chocolate looked so good, though! The premise of chocolate being immoral is kind of strange, but it also taught a good lesson that the town leaders are not always right. It also addressed some important prejudicial issues without being in your face about it. The ending was great, too. When I say I wasn’t a huge fan, that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like it; I just mean it’s not one of my favorites. I would definitely watch it again, though, and I’ve already recommended it to others.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (nude females in pictures, a brief sex scene)
Language: 1/10 (very mild)
Violence: 3/10 (some attacks and descriptions of violence, mild blood)
Overall rating: 7/10

Charlotte Gray (2001)
Tumblr media
Charlotte Gray wants to rend your heart asunder with its wartime drama mixed with a romantic triangle and some survivor’s guilt sprinkled on top. All the performers are trying their best and the picture looks the part but it all comes off as empty melodrama. If this didn’t include children being orphaned by Nazis, you’d be chuckling but since that would make you a monster, you’re forced to sit in embarrassed silence instead.
In 1942, Charlotte Gray (Cate Blanchett) travels to London where she meets and falls in love with Lieutenant Peter Gregory (Rupert Penry-Jones). When his plane gets shot down over Nazi-occupied France, she enlists in the SOE. Sent to help Julien Levade (Billy Crudup) of the French Resistance, she pretends to be a housekeeper for his father (Michael Gambon). When Monsieur Lavade begins taking care of two boys whose parents have been deported to a German concentration camp, Charlotte wonders if she hasn’t volunteered for more than she can handle.
There are a lot of things wrong with this movie, many of which could’ve been forgiven if it managed to engage you. As soon as Charlotte enlists, the film leaves you behind. This man she’s going into Nazi-occupied France to find? The one she’s constantly asking about even when she’s given strict orders to waste as little time as possible? She’s known him for only a few days; a week at most. We know she understands how serious an affair war is. Even with the training she's received, why does she think she can just waltz into enemy territory and track him down? I’d understand if she was married to him or if this was like a first love kind of thing but Cate Blanchett was 32 at the time. Too old for this kind of foolishness.
You don’t like our protagonist and this is going to make me sound heartless but I didn’t care for André and Jacob (Lewis Crutch and Matthew Plato) either. I didn’t want them dead but these kids are just too oblivious to what’s happening to be anything but time bombs about to go off. Seeing them in the middle of this huge conflict is supposed to break your heart and you feel for them but so much of the drama in this film is forced or over-the-top. Charlotte wants to find Peter but she’s also starting to feel things for Julien. If she develops feelings for him, isn’t she betraying the man she “loves” and her original mission? Meanwhile, you'll be thinking "Come on, people. There’s a war going on. Your teenage drama can take a break, can’t it?"
Throughout Charlotte Gray, you feel like you’re one step ahead of everybody. When someone slightly shifty appears, you know exactly what role they will play. Whenever anything happens, you know what the reactions will be. It isn’t necessarily that the film is predictable, it’s that based on what you know of history everything you’d expect comes true. If there are two paths to choose from, this film always picks the one that would be the most emotional for the audience. Except none of it rings true at any point so it becomes tiresome.
You’ll be checking your watch a lot during Charlotte Gray. At first, to see if there’s time for things to turn around. Later, because you're hoping it's almost over. The movie was shot in a French town that was actually occupied by the Nazis during WWII so it looks right - almost enough to make you forgive a film set in France where we heard maybe 5 complete sentences in French by the time it ends. Billy Crudup is handsome, and Michael Gambon is quite likable (I’d have liked the film to be just about them, honestly). Cate Blanchett is good too, even if this role doesn’t suit her. Despite all this, the story gets bogged down in trivial business too often and fails to ring true. It isn’t even memorably bad. You’ll have forgotten all about Charlotte Gray within a week. (Full-screen version on VHS, June 14, 2021)

What a horrific story this is.
“Would this have happened to Ron DeSantis’s wife? No, I guarantee it would not have. She’d have been treated right away.”
