Eat Pray Love


在 facebook 就有朋友写到, 看 Eat, Pray, Love 其实就像是在享受着久违了的Julia Roberts。

我还蛮赞成的。

2000 年她那部 Erin Brockovich 里头饰演正义臭婆娘的狠角色,还真叫人排案叫绝。

如果只是当一部电影来看的话,我并没有很喜欢 Eat, Pray, Love。3段不同的国家,不同的目的,不同的生活,不同的领悟,就这样硬生生的放在两个小时里头,还真的有点牵强。

我还真期待3段不同的经历如何地连贯起来而启发了Julia, 让她找到新的生活方向。如果没有记错的话,她应该是前后先到意大利,印度,再去巴厘岛。也就是说,我想看到的是她如何带着她在意大利,印度的经历,在巴厘岛上整合新的自己的同时,找到真爱。

电影里好像只是蜻蜓点水般地带过。

As usual, 大家都说还是书好看多了。说电影好看的,顶多只是‘俾番几分薄面 Julia姐或近期红到发紫的导演 Ryan Murphy’。

其他演员的表现,恐怕也就给 Julia 的光芒掩盖了七七八八。就连风头也不小的Javier Bardem 顶多也不过是个感情丰富的‘嘛甩佬’。

说穿了,我喜欢的,只不过是它的剧本, 还有Julia Roberts。

Eat, Pray, Love 其实就是城市人厌恶了现代一板一眼的生活模式,对理想生活的一种追求/向往,一种对现代生活无力的控诉, 希望逃脱原有的模式,找回自我。

散场时人挤人的,单单离开商场,也要塞个半小时。

暴躁,纳闷,无助。

理想生活的乌托邦? 那只不过是几个小时前的事罢了。

一部電影不管怎樣拍,都很難配合完書本上的所有細節。

我還沒看原著,卻先看了電影。這部電影卻吸引了我去看原著。^^

有几位女性朋友爱死了这部电影/这本书。According to them, 这部电影/这本书只有现代女人才会明白。明白些什么,也只能意会,不能言传。

是吗?:P

I like how you put that last part... about "对现代生活无力的控诉, 希望逃脱原有的模式,找回自我"

I read on IMDB forum that, "if a woman leaves her husband and goes around the world fking younger guys she is praised for her courage, but if a man leaves his wife and travels around Asia fking younger girls he is called a manslut"

HAHAHAHA...

isnt that so true... men do it all the time but women... they are less prone to leave their family behind. Maybe it's true, only a New Yorker can do it!

Joseph said...

A f***ing rich New Yorker to be precise. It is definitely not cheap to live in Italy for months and got to enjoy good food while learning Italian from hot handsome teacher! LOL...it is just not cheap.

Bare in mind, she has not been working for a year to do her 'Eat-Pray-Love-thing'.
