I would not have expected these mixed feelings as I came out of the theater watching Julia Roberts (as Elizabeth Gilberts). On one hand, it is being happy for her for finally finding her self, and her true love. On the other hand, there is a reaction that this movie is really not suitable for ordinary people like you and me…
This story talks about how a woman who had everything left her husband to search for the true meaning of life. She had an affair with a younger man (James Franco), and left him after realizing that there is a vast difference between them. 3 places she visited – Bali, Italy and India.
All my dreams of meditating in India disappeared after I watched this movie. Insects and meditation does not go well with me…
One bright point in this movie is Spanish actor – Javier Bardem (husband of Penelope Cruz). I convinced myself that he is the reason why I have sat through all those minutes of mosquitoes (mentally), missing tooth (from the Bali guru), and mental confusion (from a person who is in search of herself).
On a lighter note, this movie is truly suitable for those who are at a crossroad of their lives, where the choice between staying in a rut and individual freedom is looming in your everyday life.
