Thumbs up

I have watched it twice now. The first time I found it somewhat disjointed. It didn't quite gel. Now I know that it was originally a book, I understand more.

I love Julia Roberts. I had seen some "hype" on a talk show from the USA and I thought I might watch it.

No explicitly sexual material in the movie.

She needed to eat to live. She'd stopped enjoying eating/living. She needed to pray but she was lost in her world with no direction and felt the need to search for healing and meaning for her life. She needed to love, but couldn't do anything until she forgave herself for what she felt were her failures. She lived and learned. She was very brave.

I still find it a little disjointed as a movie, but now I know it was a book, maybe I shall read that and compare. Thinking of the title, "Eat, Pray, Love", then I figured it would be a journey and it's actually a journey I enjoyed very much indeed. There were many lessons in the movie.

Gosh, Italy, India and Bali.
Bliss.
