Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts) realised after years (not sure how many because they were not revealed in the movie) she had been living in unhappiness in her marriage. So she left him for a man who looked like him and was a lot younger. Until, she finally figured out the problems were not the relationships, but simply within. She set on a journey to three countries, Italy, India and Bali. For 3 simply reasons, to eat, pray and then finally love.

Julia Roberts, is not my favourite actress. After watching the movie, the first time, and falling asleep. Simply, because I can never figure out if she is meant to be happy or sad. After Pretty Woman, I just felt there was no movie, she could stare in that could move mountains for me.

I decided to watch it again, and again, without falling asleep. I read the reviews on the movie, and thought, well, it is a bad movie, this is why you keep falling asleep. Then, I read it was based on a bestselling book, and this baffled me. Then, I came into the realisation, how many times, have you heard the book is better! Which I will purchase, in the near future.

Finally, I stayed awake through the whole movie, and thought I need to go to Bali. Not, because of the sea, sunshine, and finding the hunk that can not be found in any other country. I realised, whilst watching the movie. That this woman was a reflection of me with no kids. She constantly had people surrounding her, and for that moment in Bali, when she had no one surrounding her, she realised, who she liked, what she liked, how to think.........It was like she was lost in society, working, marriage and everything else. This is the reason, I am putting this as one of my favourite movies. I can relate, and with all the bad ratings in the world, which this movie has accomplished, it is a reflection of life, and how we continue with it, until, we stop, look and listen..............
