At the beginning of the movie, Meryl Streep didn't even show up and I laughed while reading French, it was funny. My first impression of the movie was that it was very relaxing and meaningful, so after watching the movie with excitement, I have to say that this movie is really good.

Meryl Streep's performance is very relaxed and generous, and she never expected that she would be nominated for an Oscar again with such a light comedy. It is indeed not easy. It can be seen in the movie that Meryl Streep is getting fat. Although it is not uncommon to gain weight for the role, but for Meryl, people recognize the ability of a good actor, and Meryl has a slightly different accent and so on. , the actor's dedication to the role is deserved but also admirable. There is also a series of lovely performances when she was studying at the chef school, which made her very happy. The performance of an actor is so kind and natural, I am afraid that only Meryl Streep can do it.

The movie is a parallel development of two stories. The lives of two women, Julie and Julia, go on at the same time, and they seem to have little connection. Later, the two finally meet and have some kind of connection. They haven't met, but the so-called heart-to-heart connection is like a kind of tacit understanding between Julie and Julia.

A lot of times in a movie, you need to constantly think about and dig some things out, and then you will gradually understand. The movie tells the life story of two women, it is not empty, because real life is roughly the same, life needs progress, Julie and Julia have encountered difficulties, and there are times when they are not satisfactory, but gradually through their own efforts. Change, not sit still, cooking food is a process of refining yourself, you will see Julie played by Amy Adams depressed and sad after some food goes bad, you will also see that Julia has always been cheerful and optimistic, no matter what happens. No matter what the problem is, it is a cheerful attitude, etc. The movie can always infect you and feel the feelings of the protagonists.

Food and life are actually just two of the simplest things, but they are also goals that need to be constantly achieved. What you see, that's it, food can open up a different life, but it is the most real.
