In France after World War II, Juliet tried various activities in order to end her daily life of doing nothing, and finally decided to work hard in the direction of her greatest hobby - eating. She signed up for its professional chef course for men, and through her tireless efforts, she achieved unprecedented success. She is just like an ordinary woman who is addicted to buying all kinds of clothing, indulging in the process of buying all kinds of food condiments. When she first discovered that there were no English-language books on French cuisine, she came up with the idea of introducing fine French cooking to her Americans. All kinds of difficulties did not make her give up, she always manages cooking as her hobby and career. Not only has she published books, she has also become the host of the most famous TV cooking show, sharing her cooking skills with audiences. Faced with the fact that the book could not be published because it was too long, she was not discouraged, and wondered how to revise the manuscript. In the end, when she saw her book came out, she was so happy as a child that she was over half a hundred years old and jumped into her husband's arms.
Julie lived in the United States in 2002. Although she and her husband were not wealthy, life was still sweet, but her work was trivial and boring, which caused her to fall into distress. In order to temporarily escape the hassle of starting a job, she decided to do something really her own - to write a blog, the content of which is to write about her true feelings according to Juliet's popular cookbook half a century ago. In view of her restlessness, she also set a deadline for herself to complete more than 500 dishes within a year. During these three hundred and sixty-five days, she regarded Zhuliya as her spiritual partner across time and space, dreaming that everything she did seemed to come from her personal guidance. Undoubtedly, she also went through all kinds of unpleasantness and difficulties, and finally succeeded, indulging in the same joy as Juliet. Her blog became popular on the Internet, and major media rushed to report and interview this ordinary insurance company employee. However, the ninety-year-old Juliet heard about this, but she was not as happy for her as Julie expected. It's no wonder that the old lady might think that the young girl was using her reputation to hype herself.
The story of two women is actually the story of realizing a dream. What they do are the most common things for housewives - cooking, but because they do it with expectations and dreams, they regard cooking as an art, a challenge, a project, A journey full of novelty, both achieved their own greatest success.
Juliet didn't like many wives to learn activities with little use value, such as hat making, and did not want to learn arty activities, such as bridge, but chose to enter an entirely male chef course, the pressure is obvious Yu, but Juliet is still impressive with her diligence and wisdom. Julie chose to blog and set a deadline for herself, which is actually the challenge posed by her character of giving up everything she does, and practically experimenting with every dish in the recipe, including cooking live lobster, serving duck She must have experienced the more difficult projects such as deboning, and she will never skip it. This makes us seem to see that in addition to the same hobbies, the two women are also quite persevering in character.
Due to the ordinary life and trivial work, Julie lacks confidence in herself. Even when cooking, she fantasizes that Juliet is by her side, leading her to success. She had always dreamed of meeting Juliet, the famous culinary master, and getting approval, but in the end it backfired. She suddenly fell into a low mood, and felt that all her efforts seemed to be in vain. However, in the end, she realized that it doesn't matter whether there is Juliet's affirmation or not. The key is the Juliet in her heart - in fact, it is herself. Recognizing her own efforts is the most important thing. What she has done in the past year is simply to have something of her own. As long as everyone is happy, why should she care if she is appreciated by the original author? In the same way, when we do something we like, we must not be able to satisfy everyone, but as long as we like it, indulge in it, and taste the taste of success, why should we care so much?
In the narrative, the film is a cross between two stories. Because the two stories were originally unrelated, the director made some efforts in the transition of some pictures, the relationship between the language content, the similarity of the characters' behavior, etc., so that people would not be too loose and "two stories" skin" feeling. Through the lens representation of different objects and scenes, two different time and space environments are also created.
The film is based on a true story, which is also one of the attractions. If I am not mistaken, the original author of the novel that changed into the film is the life prototype of the character Julie. She is also a writer now. The performances of the two leading actresses are very good, especially Aunt Mei, whose voice is very unique, I am afraid she is imitating Juliet in history? The appearance of the two is really imaginative, and Juliet was too tall to be drafted into the army.
