36. Eat, Pray, Love (2/5)

Story/Screenplay/Script: We had heard this story everywhere-- a protagonist wanting to find herself and find happiness. There is nothing wrong with the story plot-- only that, since it was used a lot of times, maybe we need to add more details to it, like an unexpected twist, or something that would surprise many. I kept on saying that I love long, profound, boring movies... but too much of it is not good as well. It makes life boring and lifeless, we need action too! Yea!


Oh well, I know I would like the book better. I love the EATing part, as in colorful food is simply attractive. But the story feels flat, feels draggy too. 

Acting/Directing: This is directed by Ryan Murphy, and being innocent that I am, it took my attention that he had directed and written GLEE too. Well, seems like the two are seemingly different contrasting type of product eh? It is hard to digest that the creator of Glee directed Eat Pray Love as well. 


There is only small room for the characters to show their acting skills, so it is hard to determine if they did a job well done on the acting part. I was just moved on the part when Julia Roberts is still with her first husband. It is sad because I am more moved on her husband's lines. The part where Julia Robert asked his husband to choose one dream. The Guy said: I chose one-- I CHOSE YOU! Wow, that should be really sweet isn't it? 

Cinematography: Great. I really love the EATING PART the most. And, I mean, it is given that cinematography should be great... the scenery and the travelling part is enough for them to shoot great shots. 

I give this movie 2/5
