A Subtle Indictment of the Modern Woman
PostedAugust 10, 2009
HermannM
from New York, NY
A delightful tale of love and life served atop a metaphor of food. Merryl Streep should earn an academy nod. I never knew the real Julia Child, but Ms. Streep's portrayal inspires me to seek old footage.
The script focuses most on the parallels between two women separated by time yet inextricably linked by a love for the culinary arts. Julie Powell's character is a subtle indictment of the modern woman. Her shallow quest for external affirmation in order to feel as "purposeful" as her cobb-salad cohorts is a sobering contrast to Julia's passion for food and expression of self.
Many details of Julia’s life are glossed over. But a movie that asks as many questions as it answers may very well be recipe for cinematic success. Bravo!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
