A story of a woman, who is in search of herself!!! She decides to travel and this journey takes her to several exotic countries (Italy, India and Indonesia) where she hopes to learn how to eat, pray and love.1) I would not say that the movie was awesome, but it's definitely worth watching. I think the book is much better.
2) I mean, come on! She is like," oh man, I’ve been too busy with husbands and life partners to find out who I really am and I am totally going to take a year off of work and travel around and let the darker, poorer people of the world show me the meaning of life." And then she’s in India and there’s actually a shot where she can’t zip up her jeans because she’s been “eating” so much.
3)Eating, eating, eating.:) while watching that movie,my mouth was watering,literally. It's impossible to forget her newfound appetite: A running gag has fellow ashrammer “Richard from Texas” (the always excellent Richard Jenkins) always calling her “Groceries” because of the way she can wolf it down.
4) I do not really know what to say about "praying" part. We can't really see that she is that close to God, while having this journey. In India, she attends some spiritual prayers, but she feels sleepy or not really into it..
5) And finally!!! The man of his dreams! ( wtf? ) well, that's him! Javier Bardem...(Felipe),a soulful Brazilian expat. They have their ups and downs, but end up literally sailing off into the sunset. No, that’s unfair: The boat has a motor.
Here are some favorite quotes
Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly;
"There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in";
"Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions."
