Since I am not from the US, I was not familiar with either Julia Child or Julie Powell.
Plus cooking didn't seem charming for me, so I didn't have much expectation for this movie at first.
The only reason that made me want to watch it was Amy Adams. She is such a likable actress!
After watching this movie, I have to admit that my thinkings changed.
This movie inspired me much.
I love eating and don't know what I am going to do after graduating from the university. It is quite similar to Julia Child's situation. Also, sometimes I don't enjoy my study, nor am I satisfied with my performance. Just like how Julie Powell felt about her work.
They had been kind of lost, but then they both found themselves back in the wonderful world of cooking.
I wish I will find something I love and be devoted to it. Even if it is just an ordinary thing like cooking. As long as I love it, I can make it special :) Like how Julia Child changed the way Americans cook.
What really touched me was how their husbands supported them. They both found very good husbands. Their husbands appreciated whatever food their wifes did. Isn't it sweet?
I think one of the most beautiful scenes in the world is that a wife cooks for her family and then everyone enjoys a meal together. Do you think so too?
The thing is, cooking seems to be so simple for them. Though my mom always tell me cooking is easy, I never think so :P
But that's OK. I am still young, so I have time to learn!
I am gonna let my family be addicted to my food :D
Meryl Streep has been nominated or won for the Best Actress because of this movie for many times.
She deserves them.
I checked for the real Julia Child's shows, and I was pretty impressed by Meryl Streep's version of her. While there is something I didn't like about was Meryl Streep's accent. I can hear that she was trying to imitate Julia Child's accent, but Meryl Streep makes me wonder if Julia Child has Misarticulation. Beside that, I think Meryl Streep did a great job in this movie.
Julie Powell's personality is a bit weak compared to Julia Child in this movie. She is a lovely lady but not as interesting as Julia Child.
I have read some reviews wrote about how they didn't like Julie Powell in the book and how Amy Adams brings this character to life. Well, she is just adorable, isn't she? She has a power to let you love her character even if this character doesn't have much to tell.
All in all, this is a movie I strongly recommend to you for a laid-back Saturday afternoon.
Watch this movie with your husband, your family or your friends.
Enjoy it as a pleasant sweet :)
Bon Appetit!
