Chocolate: in the movie

All through out the movie, there was a reoccurring symbol of chocolate. The chocolate started out as just food for the body and mind. The autistic girl would play with the chocolate as if there was no consequences. She would bounce them off objects, and later eat them. Little did she know, but she was similar to the chocolate. The outside of the chocolate is hard, tough, and can take a beating just like the autistic girl. Her outside is probably one of the toughest in her society, as autistic people do not have a correct sence of pain, so the girl could push her limits to the max. Her insides, just like the chocolate, is warm and tender, as demonstrated by her mothers hair falling out. After she started to collect for her mother, the chocolate disappeared and it was as if she became the chocolate. When the people she collected from saw her exterior, they started to play with her. They soon realized that when they broke the outside, they saw the dark inside of the autistic child, and failed as if they were allergic to the dark chocolate. The final appearance of chocolate in the movie was when a human toe was found in the chocolate. The death, dead toe, mixed with the chocolate, the autistic child, was a huge foreshadowing that the current lifestyle would soon come to an end.
