Going To The Movies: Eat, Pray and Love
Plot:
Liz Gilbert is 32-years-old who has everything a modern day woman can want: a good career, a husband, a house they bought, and good friends. Still, she is deeply unhappy and doesn't feel like she belong where she is. So, after a divorce and an affair with an young charming actor, Liz decided to take the matter in her own hands and leaves her settled, well-organised live in New York in order to explore the world and herself. On her journey of self-defining and world-tasting, she spends the year in Italy, India and Indonesia. She eats, prays and loves her way to finding happiness within herself again.
Why I Like It:
It felt so real. Every bit of it. Maybe because it's based on Elizabeth Gilbert actual experiences and travels. Or maybe because I associate with this great wonderlust that she feels towards finding new, more rewarding experiences. It's inspiring, now I want to spend 4 months in Italy and eat, eat, eat! And then maybe spend another 4 months in India, doing yoga and being peaceful. And then, knowing myself, probably spend the rest of the year eating, eating and more eating! Oh, and did I mention that the movie is a colourful extravaganza of greatness! It's a bit long but it's totally worth it!
