Like Water For Chocolate | Official Trailer | Max

[@HooliganMomma]

I usually do not like remakes..but the story "Like Water for Chocolate" has always been extraordinary!! The book by Laura Esquivel is outstanding! The original movie is Fantastic...I'll be watching and trying not to compare...but this looks good!!

[@KarmeshMadhavi]

Mention the first movie name also.

[@Miriam3303]

This looks faithful to the book and the original movie. No messaging...just an amazing story!

[@amberf6275]

@@KarmeshMadhavi The 1992 movie uses the same title as the book and this remake.

[@SoulFoxx221]

RIGHT?! As long as it's being done right, I'm all for it. As a series, we'll be able to see more of what's happening with Tita in the kitchen which will be magical.

[@nalinthalala6204]

Agreed! Am too excited for this ❤

[@ReeniEspino]

I remember the original movie being a big influence on myself and a few other chefs at the beginning of our careers. The shots of traditional food being prepared were stunning.

[@AthenaCat0324]

I can relate although I am not a professional chef but I have been told my cooking tastes different when I am sad.

[@cuchelo1]

I'm so torn. The original movie is PERFECTION and I cannot imagine a re-telling, but the story is so breathtaking and vast that I also want to see it expanded. I'm so torn!

[@serial92989]

SAME

[@roseNthorn]

Well, why can't you enjoy both if this turns out to be good?

[@adelaferreira4575]

Indeed ,nothing like the original movie,that was perfection in every way !

[@adelaferreira4575]

A duplicate is never better !

[@mistydorahernandez6528]

I watched 3 episodes so far and I like that not only did the miniseries added more depth to their relationship but also to Pedro's character. And the spicy scenes are just 🔥, but the 1990s version has more of the late 1800s and early 1900s feel to it. But overall, the series is just amazing and I can't wait to see more.

[@phantomvideowatcher]

Am I the only one that’s excited about how faithful this seems to the book?! So many scenes are EXACTLY as I imagined when I read it. Can’t wait to watch!

[@Maribelinda63]

The first movie Is great. No need for more

[@DamnaDod-z1b]

Are the episodes still ongoing?

[@johnstrano636]

I have not even thought about this movie in decades. I loved it and cant wait to see this.

[@MamboKing215]

This was my mom's favorite movie; she would've loved this upcoming series

[@princepeterwolf]

Read the book, watched the movie, and wasn't sure what to expect out of this, but now I'm excited! Looks very promising!

[@anothermoon8894]

I was always fascinated by the mother in the original movie (haven't read the book yet) and I hope they'll show more of her and her backstory. She's an intriguing villain, because she feels real.

[@endgamefond]

OMG I love this type of story. Pure suffering and love story.

[@melissah170]

I'm so glad they made this. Thanks Salma! I remember watching the original movie with a very good friend when i was about 19. I wont forget the tears in the food. It left an impact on me.

[@gopdogg]

My Spanish class in Highschool went to see the original movie as a field trip.

[@janinepaysandplays]

when i read this as an assignment for english class in high school, i was skeptical. read the book and fell in love with it! then my teacher signed us off on watching the movie and fell in love with it more! this was such an amazing novel and i'm excited for what this new show is going to do!

[@tiagarner8923]

IM LITERALLY OBSESSED! I have watched the OG book ONE THOUSAND TIMES for sure! I have the book and now I’m going to anxiously await this new adaption. I’m not exaggerating when I say, this is literally a comfort movie. IM SO EXCITED!

[@anabeatrizferreira7388]

I despise Pedro with all my heart Spoiler: - He is far away in most difficult moment of Tita’s story, when she moves on with life he ruins her and in the end he makes her a mistress for life. It doesn't seem like love, but rather sick possession. - Doctor john ❤❤❤

[@VictoriaMel-pz6sl]

Totally agree. Pedro gives me Armando vibes from Betty La Fea...

[@tankhuncarps]

That is why it is important to love yourself first. Ppl who do would not put themselves in that position.

[@lorena617]

I always love what salma makes

[@jamieprotich8561]

How could anything be better than the original?

[@Cherries_n_Stitches]

If Pedro doesnt have a Hater... Im dead... Team Brown always!

[@armandoespinosa4226]

Totalmente de acuerdo, pero en la juventud nos domina la pasión, el corazón y la razón vienen con la madurez, y tita no llegó a esa fase de su vida.

[@kissofarose100]

here I am one, Pedro is the most stupid man I had ever seen, who is Brown the doctor?

[@resolvedtheeffect]

I saw all 5 episodes, and it was the best I seen. I hope there are more to come. I'm Hispanic and growing up I used to watch novelas and be excited for the next episode but this made me go back to falling in love with a story.

[@raoulbasurto]

[@DeedeeMG4]

Suuuushhhhh we love it

[@Incarciatus-kwll]

I like how every trailer goes from begining to happy to sad to dangerous and ends

[@cynlagos]

I’m only halfway through the trailer and I’m already thinking to myself. Holy crap this is gonna be a work of art.

[@mountaineergirl255]

One of the few instances when I'm not annoyed by a remake, prob because it's a different form, it's been a long time and the source material is excellent.

[@skyleafgreen7997]

My favorite book in literature class

[@kinbarkly1165]

[@sofianemov9469]

I remember reading the book in high school (practically the only positive experience from our Spanish literature class), oh the amount of begging the class had to do to make the teacher continue reading with us

[@thrif-teaannie7128]

I have been wishing for a remake of this Beautiful love story I hope it lives up to the Original.

[@katelyncalvo]

OH MY GOD YES this was alwaysssss one of my favorites

[@craftingwithclass21]

One of my all-time favorite books and movie! I’m not against remakes but why take a movie that was near perfection and remake it? Why not take a crappy movie and make that great? The original Pedro was gorgeous!😍 I will watch this, but wash it down with the original movie afterwards. Leave perfection alone, please.

[@azaelia2000]

I cannot believe this . I cried so much reading the book.

[@9winewine]

I'll have to read the book again...

[@mepulley7913]

Oh my soul. We read this book in high school for English class. It was crazy interesting.

As of November 3, 2024, the first episode of Like Water For Chocolate (Como Agua Para Chocolate) is available to stream on Max.

[@thebookkeeper0851]

At this point it is a competition between Netflix's 100 Years of Silence and HBO's Like Water for Chocolate. Let's see, who does it better?

[@jisookomblackpinkkru256]

This looks fvcking phenomenal, can't wait! Definitely need to read the book too!

[@persuasion76]

Espero no decepcione esta nueva versión y sea fiel a la original, bellísima historia la de Tita y Pedro

I was planning on reading this last week and here it is...

[@Cantetinza17]

This is a good movie. I can't wait to see the newer version. Even the movie Simply Irresistible took aspects from this movie.

[@monetbrokenhearted]

Actually I think this a series which is better because they can probably be more accurate to the book then the movie

[@Ev3Mr]

They better have that long blanket in it or else I'll be very upset

[@Mike-ul1xn]

great book, but i hated that weasel Pedro and stopped feeling sorry for Tita when she decided she'd rather be Pedro's side-piece instead of marrying the kind doctor.

[@Meg-IV]

I was NOT ready for that

[@elvenaubade]

This is extremely similar to a children’s novel called “Baker’s Magic” where a girl realizes she can bake her feelings into anything she makes. It reads like the princess bride. So if you’re interested in stories like that I totally recommend you check it you.

[@terebertuccivoicemusic9821]

This is Como agua para chocolate by Laura Ezquivel, known for her magical realism. I recommend reading it!! It was published in 1989

[@taceldi]

This is one of my favorite books everrrr!! So excited!,,,

[@thebookkeeper0851]

What I am seeing is a split view between viewers who saw the movie and their reaction with the adaptation. If I am correct, what viewers dislike about the adaptation has to do, with the bleaching of the characters, the setting, and the story. They're arguing that the movie in 1993 felt authentically Mexican, whilst this adaptation, whilst it has legitimate Hispanic actors, feels less genuine, geared towards a skewed perception of Northern Mexican culture, and colorism (choosing light skinned Mexicans over then dark peers with European features, then Mestizo or indigenous features). Whilst HBO claims that it is for a Spanish speaking audience and perhaps English speaking audience as well, it has a lot of short comings and flaws which disappoints most Mexican viewers. Even though Salma Hayek is the producer of this new adaptation, they feel as if it is a water down version for an English speaking audience with an unrealistic perception of what Mexico even is. Of course I don't claim that is the case, just mere speculation.

[@Elle_TF]

A lot of us are what you call Light skin hispanics, NOTHING wrong with that.
