This movie by far was one of the best ones we have seen. I t was a great romatic movie and began showing the aspects of Hispanic culture in the family. It shows the details of the Hispanic culture of how your place in the family is. Tita being born ad the last female, seems like she was to be the dervant to her mother til her death. Tiat was not allowed to marry but had fallen in love with Pedro as a young girl. During the time of Pedro trying to court her and asking for her hand in love her mother denied that love and offered her sister Rosuara instead. Rosuara did not care that her sister was in love with Pedro and married him anyway. Pedro's only wish was to be near Tita, but her mother caught on and made Pedro and Rosuara move away after the birth of there son. After Rosuara and Pedro moved away there son Roberto died and there mother did not even seem to care, but this threw Tita overboard and left her mothers house, and became crazy, then sent away to Dr Brown to treat her. Dr Brown falls in love with Tita and asks her to marry him, and she accepts and later tells him she can't marry because she doesn't love him. The part of the movie that always was interesting is the celebrations for all the happy moments in the family. The preparation of the food and the glamour of it all, Tita said the food was great because it was made with Love. Tita's love for food was truely because her nanny Nacha raised her in the kitchen, and showed her the love for food. Throught the film it was interesting to see how Pedro and Tita's love kept growing and they were trying to fulfill there love. Tita felt that it would of been better it Pedro just had kidnapped him. The most emotional part of the movie was at the end when they were complainting there love and Pedro dies and then she eats the matches and the fire starts and Tita covers both of them up and die and the fire. The closing of the only thing left for niece when she returns from Honeymoon is the cookbook that Tita used. They feel the culture can be cared on by cooking those foods, with LOVE.
