This morning I rushed online and logged to my sureseats.com account and reserved2 tickets for me and a friend who's somewhat keen on watching the movie. I've read the book 2 years ago and never imagined that it would later become a film. Eat Pray Love is not a typical novel. To give you a review now would seem pathetic considering that the book's been launched 2006. I'm quite sure some of you have read it, one way or the other.
Julia Roberts is still the great actress that she is. She magnificently pulled off her Italian accent and quirky dialogues (monologue, sometimes). The movie would make anyone thirst for travel. It doesn't matter where, it would make you just do whatever what you want to do and pursue it. Eat Pray Love is essentially inspiring and moving. To sum it all up, this movie just means "If you want to be happy, BE".
Hats off to James Franco because even though his character looked a little off and uncanny, he managed to pull it off. Try to spot his extremely simple wardrobe where he sports a white tee. HOT is all I have to say.
The following are lines from the movie that I can't seem to shake off:
Ketut: Do not look at the world through your head; look at it through your heart.
Liz: I am so sick of people telling me I need a man.
Felipe: You don't need a man, you need a champion.
Liz: I remember an old catholic joke about a man who spent his whole life going to a church every day and prayed to the statue of a great saint begging "please, please, please, let me win the lottery." Finally the exasperated statue comes to life and looks down at the begging man and says "my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket." So now I get the joke, and I bought three tickets.
Richard: So miss him. Send him love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.
