It's not worth it---After watching "Meal•Pray•Love"

Kolby 2021-12-15 08:01:10

"Fin•Pray•Love" does a good job in some aspects. For example, it is the largest advertising placement movie I have ever seen, and it is installed in three countries: Italy, India, and Indonesia, accounting for almost a quarter of the world’s population. The scenery is hard to get. For more than half of the time, Sister Zhu was doing a travel and food adventure show, and even the intoxication after eating a bite of pasta was the expression of a standard gourmet host. The film even showed a traditional Indian wedding; when the old witch doctor in Bali said When the funeral there was fun, I was afraid that there would be a funeral next. Of course, that sentence is enough. The concept of "Bali funerals are interesting" has been implanted in many Western audiences, which is of great help to Indonesia's tourism industry. However, I have to watch travel programs. Wouldn’t I watch the Discovery Travel Channel with Peanuts intimacy at home? He will be very happy.



Another good candidate is an actor. Billy Crudup (Dr. Blue in "The Watchers"), James Franco (my harem, I went to watch this film for him), Richard Jenkins (Professor Mensao in "The Visitor"), Javier Bardem ("Deep Sea Sleeps") ", "No Country of Old Men", except for the first one, the others are all first-class handsome guys. If Billy hadn't always been dangling in the "Watchmen", I would have a good impression of him. .



for this reason, this film even more displeased. Rather, it is for the good man not worth it.



the reason is that, as a movie, a story, "EPL" actress does not make clear the source of the pain. no, it In fact, it is clear, but her pain is very awful in my opinion.



A few years after her marriage, sister Zhu became tired of marriage. Although her husband still loved her, she chose to leave him. While getting a divorce, I had a fierce fight with my little Zhan. The divorce was almost done, and she was tired again, and regardless of Xiao Zhan's affectionate retention, she decided to travel the world and find herself. (Sister, you don't need to find your ego, the boss is squatting in your heart, so you can't tolerate others) In Italy, she let go of eating and drinking, so Italy took the opportunity to promote their cuisine and the scenery of Rome and Naples. In India, she went to work and meditate (of course she had to lose weight after a big meal), and we saw the curious pictures of "Slumdog Millionaire", which were more shallow than that. The last stop was Bali. After she had eaten and figured out, she finally found the right man: Javier Bardem, who was sensual but professed to be passionate, sensitive, loyal and heartbroken. God bless him.



We finally know what the selfish men in traditional movies experienced after they left. Feng Shui turns now, and it's a woman's turn to do the same, but although I am a woman, I can't sympathize with the heroine. Selfishness is selfishness after all. The bitterness of the hostess, to put it bluntly, is to feel guilty for her departure from her husband. After all, she abandoned the other party, after all, she also loved him back then. She couldn't pass her own level for a while. Xiao Zhan was a temporary backer, but she sent out an email. But of course, what can you do when you abandon the other person?




That's how it is. In terms of human relations, the abandoned party can win the sympathy of others by drying his wounds. If the abandoned party also confesses to the whole world in pain, how can others react well?



Originally, my dislike was not obvious, but the voice of the hostess when reading that email made me understand. The content of the e-mail is to dump people, go around and write beautifully. However, Julia Roberts's voice completely betrayed the character's feelings, and that voice was cold except hard. This woman, when she desperately tried to tell the audience "I am in pain, and in pain, have mercy on me" with expressions and eyes, her voice was confident and calm from beginning to end. She has only herself in her heart, no one else. Is this what the author wants to show? Is it Julia's acting like this? Or is this the character Julia figured out? Leave her alone!



In terms of facts, this is not the first time that women are tired of marriage and throw off innocent men. There is no need to condemn them, but they are desperate to travel around the world to enjoy the beautiful food and continue to attract handsome men to show their hospitality, but it still doesn’t. Stop screaming pain, you have to make people suspect that this woman's narcissistic bragging level is comparable to that of the vampire's wife Bella.



It's a pity that Billy's pain, Xiao Zhan's affectionate, Richard's superb acting skills and Javier's quiet way of picking up girls.



I heard that this film was originally a bestseller. Best seller~~~In the Cold War~~~



Maybe I understand everything wrong. This film is actually a gourmet movie, and the book is just a new style of travel. Still no need to entangle. not worth. Even if it is to contribute to the box office for Xiao Zhan. Also, the Chinese translation of this piece is really a touch of magic.

Eat Pray Love quotes

  • Liz Gilbert: Hadn't I wanted this? I had actively participated in every moment of the creation of this life. So why didn't I see myself in any of it? The only thing more impossible than staying... was leaving. I didn't want to hurt anybody, I wanted to slip quietly out the back door and not stop running until I reached Greenland.

  • Liz Gilbert: We all want things to stay the same, David. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins.
