I have just watched Eat Pray Love for like the bizillionth time tonight and i have to say it gets better each time i do. The settings, the cast, the story line, gets some how more powerful each time i watch it and i know i will watch it another hundred times. Julia Roberts has it all in this film: Javier Bardem, James Franco, the jetsetting, the food, the experience of a life time, its one of those films that transports you to the place and immerses you within the culture. What i wouldn't give to go to Bali and just, be there, you know. Of course a bonus would be to be there with Javier Bardem, but without would be fine aswell - i hear Bali is a good place for surfing yes?
I have to admit though one of the BIG selling points of this film was the fact that Javier Bardem was in it, and i know that may seem shallow but Hello! Javier Bardem brings and certain beauty to a role that not many actors can. His presence within this film always makes me feel warm, as he has a blind faith in that he will find love again. The beauty of this film is too hard to describe in words so here's so pictures:
"it's like an orange made love to a plum"
"You should go to the best restaurant in town ....... my place"
And i cannot brush past the fact that their would not be a film without the book - Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gibert, but and this is a very big but, which has stopped me reading and enjoying books in the past, i am a VERY slow reader it could take me a whole year to read just one book, with no exaggeration involved at all. So the film will do me perfectly without feeling bad about reading the book which the film originated from, not guilt, not at all.
