Reflecting back on my blogs that I have written this semester I realized how much food can impact a person and the movie itself.  When I watch movies I never really payed attention to the food and how it has such a big impact in it. The films that we watched in the class I never would have watched on my own. The material that we covered helped me learn that there is a deeper meaning in the film than what we are presented with. The material covered in class really drew my attention to the food aspect of the movies and how it can effect a person or the overall film. I did spend time reading the required movie. My favorite film we watched this semester was Como agma para chocolate. This was my favorite film because it showed how the daughters cooking of rose petal chicken affected each character differently. One daughter ran away from home after eating it and the mother actually showed emotion for once throughout the film after taking a bite. It showed how food can change a person after they eat it.
