Like water for Chocolate-- Eric Morgan

Love is a confusing thing especially when it is expressed in the english language. In Like Water for Chocolate love was expressed but that is not exactly it. There are different kinds of love and here the kind of love that was expressed is best described by the Greek word eros. Eros is one of the many words describing love, and it is given the specific meaning of sexual desire. God is love and what is sometimes forgot is that even the sexual side of love was created by God so here in this movie what is expressed simply is another part of God's creation. But what is expressed by this movie is basically that even though everything that God created is good us people manipulate them and have a lack of self control with many things. This lack of self control is expressed by the reaction that the people have after they eat their food. These people lose basically all control of themselves expressed very vividly in the naked showering scene where the girls shower house goes into flames then runs away to ride away naked on a horse. And again the commander in the army completely leaves his duty in order to follow this scent of passion that was in the air to find it. Humans have little to no self-control when it comes to love and what is shown very prominently is that we are very powerless beings in the realm of this world.
