"Julie and Julia" is a very inspiring movie about how a set goal combined with passion could keep you moving forward and make your dream come true. In the movie, Julie wants to follow her passion for cooking after reading the cookbook written by Julia Child, who is always optimistic and enthusiastic about everything. Julie then sets the goal of making all the recipes within one year and starts the project called "Julie and Julia" in her blog.
The movie truly depicts Julie's journey throughout the year, including the moment she is on the edge of giving up. The scene where Julie lies on the kitchen floor, crying furiously because she just messed up her cooking and can't feel the passion anymore, resonates with my emotions and reminds me of the moments I feel like quitting lacrosse or a learning English. I feel very encouraged by her consistence and power of passion.
I like the parallel storyline of the movie, making the plot much more interesting and forming a comparative structure. Although the two stories take place in different times, the way they are structured in the movie is like Julie and Julia are next-door neighbors exploring recipes together. I'm amazed at the full equipment in the kitchen. I never realize that there is so much in cooking that you can explore.
Although I admire Julie's consistence and passion, Julia Child is the kind of person I truly want to be. Having such a friend definitely makes me hyper and passionate about life, but being such one is more desirable. Whatever happens, Julia could always see it through a pair of optimistic glasses and I wish I could do the same. This isn't a simple movie about cooking and food. Behind it, it's also a very deep life lesson about passion and personality.
