Movie: Julia & Julie (Julia Child & Julie Powell)For me, once over the irritating voice of “Julia Child”, there are romantic moments. Humour and an innocent honesty is forthcoming via Julie Powell played by Amy Adams.
On reflection, I can’t help thinking, this film based on two true stories, is an example of how an innocent passion, without realising when it happens, can become an obsession that if allowed to develop excessively, can override precious harmony.
To survive ambition with all the: zest, energy, fearless resilience that is an integral part, there has to be a foundation of solid friendship within a relationship that will enable that dream to overcome the many testing times and knock-backs to one day realise your dream.
An element of disappointment for me was that Julie never actually met.
Julia died in 2004, age 91 – her book, ”Mastering The Art of French Cooking” was published. Julia Powell’s book was published in 2005, one year after Julia’s death entitled “Julie & Julia” which was made into this film. Julie realised her dream, to become a writer.
I just have to share a wonderful quote from this movie:
"You are the butter to my bread and the breath to my life...”
Wow, this has to have come from the depths of the heart, love and trust.
Always hang on to dimensions of hope...
I score this film 7 (10 is high)
