Julie and Julia-Movie review

Ignore the time of this post, hehe, just can't sleep. I managed to find the link to the video and i was excited as the movie played, it was perfect, just that the sound was a little bit too soft, the thing is julia child speaks in a type of slang, plus dialogue is important. I love the movie, yes, my friend says it's a feel good movie, well i think when i watched it, i just needed a little bit of feel good in my life. Apart from that, if you think about it, the movie is about two women and we know what happens to them in the end already, so why watch the movie then? Because the beauty of it is in how they got to where they were.People like to tell you that by being this and that you can be rich and famous, what they forget to tell you is what it takes to get there, and i feel this movie just shows that, it shows that success isn't gonna come up to your door all wrapped up and waiting to be opened.

I have not read the books so i won't comment on how acurate anything is, so i'm commenting purely on the movie itself. I like that the two main women are married and in strong relationships, something most movies are lacking in these days, mostly it's flings first then commitment. Another thing is, i noticed that they were careful in everything, including props, for example when they were packing the stuff up, the newspapers, from where i was watching, looked french and old, from that time period i mean. When they go to the museum, the camera is digital, but bulky and probably 1.2 megapixel? So attention to detail is good here.

The food in the movie is mouthwatering, makes you wanna just go cook immediately, as if ( for some people) you were already a professional cook, or at least experienced. Makes you wish you learned how to cook earlier right? This movie is not a cooking show, it does not go there at all, it does give tips on cooking, just one or two here and there, but nothing more, the focus is and only is on the story.

Meryl Streep, Amy adams and stanley tucci have done an excellent job portraying their characters, Meryl and Amy just make you laugh, nice job with the accent there by Meryl and stanley just does a great job being the ever faithful and loving husband.

The movie can be a bit draggy, i watched it and stopped, and watched again(i had to wait for it to load), so i wouldn't know how one would feel watching the whole movie in one go. Give this one a go people! i'm so angry that Malaysian theatre's decided to postpone this movie for what? Avatar? seriously? So go! watch the movie, and have some food with you when you watch it too because i bet you'll be hungry!
