The film is not short, nearly two and a half hours, but the plot is so simple that it is not worth mentioning. As the name suggests, away from her long-married husband and new lover, author Julia Roberts is determined to spend a year in self-imposed exile, eating Italian food, praying in India, and finally rediscovering love in Bali. Does it sound familiar? A woman, writing, wandering, walking, looking for love, and the meaning of life, this genre of novels has long been the leader in our country, Annie baby. Just change the geographic coordinates to Vietnam and Tibet. I believe that the original novel may be able to bring some quiet moments to urban girls, and there may be Jiguang Kata Yu who purifies the soul, but in fact, some things are really more pleasing to the eye in black and white. Once visualized and visualized, the original meaning and emotion are often greatly damaged. For example, in this movie, for example, a barefoot wearing sneakers and a cotton ruffled skirt, hair fluffy like seaweed, lips chapped like flowers withered Yes, woman.
Director RYAN MURPHY himself is a gold medal screenwriter of an American TV series. It is estimated that he knew what he was doing wrong. He tried to make up for it in photography. He brought in the top master of ASC (American Society of Photography), and the director of photography of "Inglourious Basterds" and "Shutter Island" ROBERT RICHARDSON. The master is also considered to be doing his best, talking about exotic scenery and changing light and shadow, which is indeed the greatest enjoyment in the two and a half hours of viewing experience. It's a pity that photographers who have won many Oscars have not been able to make Roberts more like a female writer. It's not because she has a familiar face, it's just that her aura is completely wrong, which not only wrongs the character, but also exposes the shortcomings of the big-mouthed superstar.
I thought that the biggest group in the audience was the loyal readers of "EAT, PRAY, LOVE", the army of modern young girls, but the cinema was full of old ladies. Some were holding their own little old men, some were old sisters, and they cheered happily together when they saw the beautiful scenery in the movie. One or two lines that were not very funny made the grandmas overjoyed. After the screening, they were happy. , supporting each other and leaving. This movie is also called "Being a Girl All Your Life". I think compared to the female Wenqing who is entangled with her own heart disease and wandering around in the film, these crane-haired and childlike faces still have a sense of art, and can enjoy happiness and life. The old ladies who are free and stretched out are really girls all their lives.
