Eat, pray, love

This week, I would like to present a short video to you : it is an interview of Julia Roberts, after the film “Eat, pray, love”.

I let you discover her feelings :

At first, I would like to make you a short summary of the story, and then, we shall speak about the interview. Elizabeth Gilbert wrote this story in 2006, and her book is become a bestseller. That’s why Ryan Murphy decides to make a film, helped by Brad Pitt ! Generally, when a film is based on a book, do you prefer the movie or the book ? For my part, I have always preferred the books to the movies until today. There are more details, and everyone can imagine the scenes and the characters as he wants. That’s why I am often disappointed by the movie once I read the book… And you, what do you think about that ? I ask your comments !

Liz Gilbert is 31 years old. She has everything that everyone would like to have : a devoted husband, a beautiful home, a promising career… But something is wrong, she is not happy. She is in the doubt, and she is not satisfied with her life. She will divorce and depress, then she will have a disastrous relationship. So, she decides to go alone in the world, ant to rebuilt her life, to choose her life. In Italia, she will taste the delights of life, and “she will take de twelve happiest pounds of her life”. In India, she will discipline her mind, then she will reconcile her body and her mind in Indonesia to find the love …

The principal actors are Julia Roberts, James Franco, Richard Jenkins, Javier Bardem. Only great people ! I love Julia Roberts, she is so charismatic ! Alone, she captures the attention of the viewer and she doesn’t need anybody else to be highlighted. Do you think the same thing ? Or do you feel the same thing for an other actor ?

In the interview, Julia Roberts mentioned that she really appreciated the book, and she had a lot of empathy for Elizabeth. She really likes these four months of work, everybody was in, and it was a very good adventure for her, with the best actors, fabulous scenes and so much great dialogues !  The interviewer asks to her if she has change after the film … And she answers that she realized she really still love acting, and his creating process. And I understand her. This is a real chance to live his passion. And you, what do you think about it ?

Here is thetrailer if you want to see the movie !
