Julie and Julia: Cooking happiness by recipe (2009)
That's what's interesting. You accidentally watch a movie by a famous director in which famous actors are involved. Dizzying plot somersaults unfold on the screen, filmed for a bunch of millions of dollars. And you look at it like the window of an expensive boutique going to the bazaar for potatoes.
Yes, everything is in place. And it does not affect the soul at all. But "Julie and Julia" specifically resembles a series for housewives. And the plot is so-so, and no kind. But watching it is warm and cozy, like wearing wool socks with a glass of glitvein on a cold autumn evening.
Maybe the secret is in Meryl Streep 's virtuoso playing ? An outstanding American actress, adheres to the Stanislavsky system, is certainly the most important decoration of the picture. Remembering the bitchy aunt Miranda Priestly from "The Devil wears Prada" or stuffed with worries, but still such a romantic and dreamy Donna with "Mamma MIA", you realize that there is probably no role that Ms. Streep could not cope with.
And yet it's not just about her. Director Nora Efron has had very good pictures before: "You got a letter" with Hengs and Ryan, " Michael" with Travolta, " The Sorceress" with Kidman. And yet it seems that this time Efron actually cooked the signature dish.
Julie Paul (Amy Adams) works as a call center operator. Dreaming of an acting career, Julie is forced to listen to complaints or even tantrums on the phone. And she is almost thirty years old, a marriage with a classmate could be called happy, but the spouses do not have children.
The girl is saved from depression by her mother's book - recipes " How to master the art of French cuisine ". Julia decides to cook everything from more than 500 recipes within a year and write about it in her blog.
The author of the book is the legendary Julia Child. She is also called the grandmother of American cuisine. In 1949, she and her husband went to France, where she fell in love with the local cuisine. A tall American woman (her height was 188 cm!) began cooking only at the age of 32. And this hobby develops into a real passion - Julia will finish cooking courses perfectly, prepare several books for printing, will host her own cooking show, which will later be disassembled into numerous video tutorials.
Interestingly, she was actually a native of Pasadena... a spy. It just so happened that French cuisine for Julia became the same secret materials as military secrets. She handed them over to her country, at that time, except that she fried potatoes with tomatoes or considered ordinary pancakes a culinary masterpiece.
The action of the tape is constantly transferred from the 50s to our time. Both Julies, despite failures and disappointments, find a recipe for their own happiness among culinary recipes. And, most importantly, we are ready to share this recipe with the audience...
Well, it should be recognized that this picture is more feminine. And yet it seems to me that it will be interesting for the guys as well. In the end, both housewives were pretty much helped by their men. Well, if you suddenly want to cook something from Julia's recipes, the Internet will help you.
