I'm constantly watching movies.
I love the movie theater experience...the smell of freshly popped popcorn (I can't resist it), sweet candy, and soda. I love sitting in a dark theater and being transported to another place, time, or location. I admire the talent actors have and the emotions they can illicit through thier performance.
So, in honor of my love of movie going and because I see so many new movies I am going to write about them (among other things) :)
Julie & Julia
Meryl Streep is Julia Childs and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in Nora Ephrons adaptation of two memoirs: Powell's Julie & Julia and Julia Child's My Life in France. (Which I totally want to read now, along with Mastering the Art of French Cooking)
'Julie & Julia' intertwines the lives of the two women who, though seperated by time and space, are both at loose ends....until they discover with the right combination of passion, fearlessness, and butter, anything is possible.
I truly enjoyed this movie! I think you have to be a woman to thoroughly appreciate its message and appreciate the connection Julie makes with Julia across generations. The message of Julia's life overall is that there are no limits to what you can accomplish as a woman at any age. I feel so inspired by that. The story of Julie's life is equally inspiring. Stuck in a dead end job she hates with friends she doesn't quite fit in with she still finds something to inspire her and encourage her. I find this equally inspiring.
Maybe it's cause I am at a point in my life where I want to be inspired or I want to inspire others and I just don't know how.
