I just love Julia Roberts... Her smile and the sounds of her laughter....
I first read the book... and now the movie... Still unable to decide which one I prefer...
But then, I'd just love the movie for having Julia Roberts.... Liz Gilbert character is nicely blended with Julia....
Eat Pray Love The Movie.....
For those who have read the book, surely the movie is not the exact version... Of course Italy, India and Bali are all there... Some 'modifications' added.... but I feel like some emotional bonding was lacking...
What I like in Italy... was the food... and the Italian-style hand gestures... quite funny there...
And you will just feel like having lots and lots of pasta... spaghetti, fettucine, linguini... carbonara, marinara... and the big thin pizza...
What I like in India... seeing Julia in the green saree with a small 'sanggul'.... very decent look...
In Bali.... you'll like everything in Bali... starting with Ketut, the funny old, Balinese medicine man... then Christine Hakim as Wayan... what lacking here, I feel was the emotional bonding between Liz and Wayan... in the book, you can feel the bonding... but in the movie, it simply show Liz collecting money for Wayan but why and what made her do that???? ....
Afraid to fall in love again... as she doesn't want to loose the balance she newly found...
And the wise guy.... of course Mr Ketut Liyer....
