Rich with feeling...but questionable views

This movie WILL inspire you. But you might also end up leaving your marriage if you are TOO inspired.
While I understand that this is a true story, I just couldn't reconcile the celebration of her ditching her husband - who by the way, begs her to "find herself" while reaining IN the marriage. It's heartbreaking to watch. Everything that he says and asks of her is what SHOULD be expected from someone who committed to living their life together with another for LIFE. (we assume that means changing and growing without bailing.)
The way she handled leaving him made their committment seem so unimportant in the scheme of her finding herself. However, her guilt DID seem important and the dialog about her trying to make herself feel better was just...sad.
However, this movie did do what I expected...
Made me:
Made me:
1) want to travel (to Italy and Paris, at least)
2) want to marvel at something
3) want to be as skinny as Julia is so that when I go on the "no carb left behind" experiment, I'm still only buying a size 6 jeans. (ridiculous).

Without *spoiling* the end...I will say that I found myself really wanting the story NOT to end where it did. It seems so cliche.
Then the girl next to me told me that there was a second book that continued the story.
Ok, so I'll see the next movie.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
